SLIB Sells Three Southeast Seniors Housing Communities

SLIB Sells Three Southeast Seniors Housing Communities

Three seniors housing communities in the Southeast sold to a private equity group partnering with a management company that was looking to enter the region. The Tennessee community is located in the town of Madison, while the two Georgia communities are in Marietta and Jonesboro. Built in 1999 and 2000, they consist of 228 units of assisted living and memory care.  These were outliers for the outgoing owner/operator, which is based in the western United States and has its core operations in the region. The properties were also struggling operationally, which probably added to the seller’s motivation. Vince Viverito, Brad Clousing, Jason Punzel and Brad Goodsell of Senior Living... Read More »
