Blueprint Teams Close Two Transactions

by | Sep 16, 2021 2:49 pm | Acquisitions

M&A continues at a steady clip, and Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors obliged with a couple of recent closings. First was the sale of a skilled nursing facility located just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Totaling 120 beds, the facility was built in the 1960s and thoroughly renovated in the 1990s.

They saw an opportunity to add value... Read More »
