Ziegler & M&T Realty Refinance Nebraska IL Community

Ziegler and M&T Realty partnered to refinance an independent living community in Kearney, Nebraska, that is owned by Omaha-based Essex Communities.

About 93% of residents are now vaccinated, COVID cases fell to zero across the 60 owned communities, and 100% of communities are open to new residents, so the runway to recovery is smoother.   Looking forward, CSU will also not be encumbered by the 39...
