Cambridge Realty Capital Provides HUD Loans
Cambridge Realty Capital provided $19.316 million in HUD-insured Section 223(f) financing for two seniors housing assets in Texas and Missouri.

So, the big vote occurred last week, and shareholders of Brookdale Senior Living have spoken. We are sure that the recent increases in occupancy convinced some shareholders to stick with management and its “plan.” But the nominees from activist shareholder Ortelius Advisors were not off-the-wall candidates. It was an excellent group, and despite what Brookdale stated, again and again, they would have provided a new perspective and a lot of expertise. The current and temporary CEO could have learned from several of them, specifically Steven Vick, Steven Insoft and Lori Whitman. Oh well, a lost opportunity for many of the shareholders. Not to mention other members of the management team, the... Read More »
