Blueprint Sells Birmingham-Area Community

Blueprint Sells Birmingham-Area Community

Brooks Blackmon of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors sold a well-run senior living community in Birmingham, Alabama. The Alabama-based developer seller originally purchased the property in 2016 when it was just a small assisted living community.

The developer also fully renovated the community in addition to adding the three-story IL building.   Inspired Healthcare Capital emerged as the winning bidder and... Read More »

Nothing wrong with a bit of caution, we suppose.... Read More »
