Nick Stahler and Austin Diamond of the Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap facilitated a lease-with-purchase-option transaction for a dually certified, 120-bed skilled nursing facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Sonida Senior Living On The Move
It has taken a while, and a lot had to be done to strengthen the balance sheet over the past two years, but Sonida Senior Living is now on a path of growth, and recent announcements have shown it. On May 9, the company closed on its first acquisition of the year with the purchase of a 100-unit assisted living and memory care community in Macedonia, Ohio.
