Cushman & Wakefield Sells CCRC Portfolio

Cushman & Wakefield Sells CCRC Portfolio

by | Aug 17, 2018 7:02 am | Acquisitions

It is amazing what patience, capital, expertise and desire can do to change things around for a few bankrupt entrance-fee CCRCs. We are referring to Sedgebrook in Lincolnshire, Illinois and Monarch Landing in Naperville, Illinois that fell into bankruptcy in 2010 and were sold in an auction process for a combined total of about $39.25 million. They had been built by the former Erickson Retirement Communities, which itself filed for bankruptcy protection after problems with too much debt and too many new units to fill during the Great Recession, although these two CCRCs were outside the corporate bankruptcy. Monarch Landing was supposed to be built with 1,498 IL units, 84 AL units and 132... Read More »
