Pines Senior Living Divests to an Investor in East Texas
Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint facilitated the sale of an East Texas assisted living community, marking Blueprint’s 12th and final Texas closing of 2024.

Blueprint’s Q4 Closings
Blueprint announced a couple of its Q4 closings. In one, a not-for-profit organization took over a seniors housing community in the Hartford, Connecticut MSA, from a publicly traded REIT. The buyer appears to be Masonicare, which announced its acquisition of Atria Greenridge Place in the town of Rocky Hill. Built in 1998, the 108-unit assisted living/memory care community now operates as Masonicare at Greenridge Place.

The listing received five or six offers, including from private equity firms and a publicly traded company, before... Read More »Schedule a demo
