Occupancy was also 110 basis points higher than the... Read More »

Blueprint Sells Jacksonville SNF

Trent Gherardini of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors facilitated the sale of a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Jacksonville, Florida. Representing the long-time private owner/operator, he found a buyer in a private ownership group that paired with a regional operator to acquire the property. The purchase price came to $12.6 million, or $105,000 per bed. Originally built in 1967, the facility is located in the heart of Jacksonville.
