Double whammy from Cassie and Mahoney

The team of Tony Cassie and Dan Mahoney from Marcus & Millichap recently closed two skilled nursing transactions out West. First up, and the smaller of the two, a regional operator purchased an 88-bed facility in Ogden, Utah, for $7.5 million, or $85,227 per bed, with a 10.7% cap rate. Messrs.

Kaukauna closing

Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap went to Kaukauna, Wisconsin to close his latest transaction, when a private individual sold their 46-unit assisted living community to a confidential buyer for $8.5 million, or 184,783 per unit.

You almost never see a single senior care property sell for over $100 million.
