CBRE Sells Five Communities in the Great Lakes Area

Lisa Widmier of CBRE Senior Housing has sold a portfolio of five assisted living/memory care communities in the Great Lakes region.

CBRE Finances Active Adult Development in Chicagoland

CBRE Finances Active Adult Development in Chicagoland

A new active adult development that is set to break ground just received financing courtesy of CBRE and a national bank. Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Matthew Kuronen of CBRE Senior Housing partnered with CBRE Chicago’s Debt and Structured Finance’s John Parret and Peter Marino to arrange the $43 million construction loan.   The to-be-built community is located in Chicagoland and will feature around 190 units.
