Cushman & Wakefield Sells CCRC Portfolio

Cushman & Wakefield Sells CCRC Portfolio

It is amazing what patience, capital, expertise and desire can do to change things around for a few bankrupt entrance-fee CCRCs.

They had been built by the former Erickson Retirement Communities, which itself filed for bankruptcy protection after problems with too much debt and too many new units to fill during the Great Recession, although these two CCRCs were outside the corporate bankruptcy. Monarch Landing was supposed to be built with 1,498 IL units, 84 AL units and 132... Read More »

Originally built in 1999 with 80 independent living units, 36 assisted living units and 36 memory care units, the community has been operated by Kisco Senior Living since its development.
