Ziegler Handles Chicago SNF Deal

Ziegler Handles Chicago SNF Deal

A for-profit buyer is taking over ownership of a not-for-profit skilled nursing facility in an affluent north Chicago suburb. Ziegler acted as advisor to the Illinois-based not-for-profit seller, with Managing Director Nick Glaisner leading the transaction and Melanie Shaffer in support.  This was an older, multi-story facility, having been built more than 100 years ago with additions made over time.
