Newmark Sells Connecticut Community

Newmark Sells Connecticut Community

Newmark Knight Frank closed on a large senior living community in Farmington, Connecticut a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic let loose in the Northeast. The community was built in 2015 and has 89 assisted living and 45 memory care units for a total of 134 units. Occupancy was at 97% when it went to market, which is fantastic in any market.   Assisted living rates average about $4,100 per month plus care levels, while memory care rates range from $5,600 for a shared room to $7,700 for a private studio.
