Two Southeast Sales from Senior Living Investment Brokerage

by | Apr 26, 2017 9:02 am | Acquisitions

Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage showed his strength in the Southeast, closing two transactions in Georgia and Florida. He first helped a partnership exit the seniors housing industry with the sale of their 64-unit memory care community in Fayetteville, Georgia (20 miles south of Atlanta). The partnership hadn’t been together long (the facility only opened in 2013), but a death within it affected the lease-up process and prompted the sale. The purpose-built community is currently 81% occupied, and working towards stabilization. Since it’s still in lease-up, it was offered at a slightly discounted price per unit, selling for $11 million, or $171,875 per unit. New... Read More »
