SLIB Handles Colorado Memory Care Deal
An experienced local owner/operator in the Colorado market looking to grow its portfolio in Denver acquired a small memory care community in Aurora. Renew Saddle Rock was built in 2015 with 40 respite care and memory care units.

Marquee Capital Sells Community to Not-for-Profit
A not-for-profit organization emerged as the highest (and winning) bidder for a stabilized, high-quality assisted living community in Fort Wayne, Indiana, beating out several for-profit buyers in the process. We have not seen many deals with a not-for-profit buyer, but perhaps those that can build scale should do so to avoid the fate of so many not-for-profits that have exited in the last couple of years. Lutheran Life Villages, a local, faith-based organization that has served northeast Indiana for more than 90 years and operates five seniors housing communities across Fort Wayne and Kendallville, paid roughly $270,000 per unit for the property. Brightstar Senior Living Fort Wayne was... Read More »
