Blueprint Teams Close Two Transactions

Blueprint Teams Close Two Transactions

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. Historically, it did bring in stable cash flow, and it showed well for a facility last fully renovated more than 20 years ago. However, it did not fit into the regional Ohio-based owner’s operating model.   That’s where Blueprint came in, approaching a New York-based private equity group that has an existing presence in Ohio. They saw an opportunity to add value... Read More »

So ultimately,... Read More »
