Alabama Buyer Adds to Southeast Portfolio

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently closed on a portfolio of two Class-A senior living properties in Alabama and Tennessee.

An owner/operator successfully recapitalized two newly constructed, Class-A standalone memory care communities located in the Oklahoma City and Dallas Fort-Worth MSAs.

Majestic Care Acquires Toledo Campus
