Cushman & Wakefield Assists in Assisted Living Disposition
As part of a larger effort to exit several non-core assets, an institutional owner decided to sell its 112-unit assisted living/memory care in Mount Vernon, Illinois (about 80 miles southeast of St. Louis), with the help of the Richard Swartz, Jay Wagner, Jim Dooley and Sam Dylag of Cushman & Wakefield.

Maryland Acquisition Update

For Newmark, they get a team that has closed over $42 billion in healthcare and senior care investment sales, plus the more than $7 billion in financing that Ms. Anderson has arranged over the years.
