Details on Marx Development Group’s Nine-Figure SNF Deal
Marx Development Group and its affiliate Majestic Care’s acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities in West Virginia is set to close at the end of October, and the deal is still attracting a lot of attention in the state. That is because the seller is the State of West Virginia, and headlines are usually made when a for-profit buyer is taking over any state-owned or not-for-profit facility.

Former Brookdale Asset Sale Sets Record Per-Unit Price in Montana
A standalone independent living community in Great Falls, Montana, just sold for one of the highest per-unit prices in the state. Developed in 1995, The Iris Senior Living was the highest-quality IL building in the area and was consistently fully occupied. It features 60 units and operates at a nearly 40% margin.
