The property was identified as an ideal candidate for either a behavioral healthcare provider, based on strong demand and reimbursement in the state, or a strategic regional seniors housing operator that could use economies of scale in the region to turn around operations.

Private REIT Divests Midwest Portfolio

Senior Living Investment Brokerage facilitated the sale of a seniors housing portfolio that consisted of three communities in Ohio and two in Indiana.
