Three Separate Deals Close in Wisconsin
Bob Richards of Senior Care Realty recently closed three separate seniors housing transactions in Wisconsin. First, Richards facilitated the sale of a community in southern Wisconsin on behalf of a seller who had owned the community for more than 25 years and was moving towards retirement. The stand-alone memory care community is on the smaller side with occupancy typically hovering above 90%. It briefly dipped below 90% at closing but the buyer remained confident in a rebound, which has since occurred following the acquisition.

Senior Living Investment Brokerage hit a rich vein of activity at the start of May, reporting several closings for seniors housing and skilled nursing assets.

Montgomery Intermediary Group Announces M&A and Financing Activity
Montgomery Intermediary Group continued its active 2025 with a financing and two recent M&A closings. First, Jeremy Warren worked on behalf of an owner/operator seeking to recapitalize a 210-unit assisted living community that was originally a purpose-built hotel. The goal was to generate cash for ownership and to finance cosmetic renovations to enhance the property’s appeal. The owner had previously approached a few lenders but was unsuccessful in securing favorable financing terms. That’s when they engaged MIG to lead a debt arrangement process. The effort resulted in multiple term sheets, with the most competitive offer coming from a regional credit union actively looking to... Read More »Schedule a demo
