HJ Sims Refinances Benedictine Health System

Benedictine Health System, a Minnesota-based not-for-profit organization affiliated with the Catholic church, recently obtained $132.4 million in financing arranged by HJ Sims.

Minnesota Assisted Living Community Gets A New Neighbor

Minnesota Assisted Living Community Gets A New Neighbor

In a deal that was anything but ordinary, Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap sold an assisted living community plus an adjacent vacant skilled nursing facility in Owatonna, Minnesota for about $2.95 million, or $59,100 per unit.

Since it was county-owned, we imagine there is a lot of room for improvement in controlling expenses. However, at the SNF, BHS had gradually transferred the beds out of the 1970s-era... Read More »
