CBRE Settles Oklahoma Sale
CBRE’s Daniel Morris, working out of the Oklahoma City office, sold a 120-unit assisted living community in Bethany, Oklahoma for $4.4 million, or $36,700 per unit.

It clearly worked, as occupancy stands at 92% for the property. Westmont received a 10-year, fixed-rate loan with 60 months of interest only payments. Then, to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Mr. Will arranged acquisition financing (again through... Read More »
