REIT Divests Struggling South Carolina SNF

REIT Divests Struggling South Carolina SNF

A publicly traded REIT sold its 170-bed skilled nursing facility in Beaufort, South Carolina, for an undisclosed price.

SLIB Handles REIT Divestment

Vince Viverito and Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage successfully sold a 145-unit seniors housing community in Bountiful, Utah, on behalf of its REIT owner that was looking to exit the state and focus on its core markets.

There was a good amount of agency labor that could theoretically burn off in the near-term, which... Read More »
