Evans Senior Investments Shows Variety In Latest Closings

Evans Senior Investments displayed some variety in its two latest transactions. First, the firm closed the sale of a 30-unit/60-bed memory care community located about five miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Switching gears slightly, Evans Senior Investments then worked to procure a new tenant for an... Read More »

Rents are currently below market rates at nearby competitors, and with nearly all semi-private units... Read More »
