Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital announced a couple of loan closings that funded the acquisition of two senior living communities in Montana and Wyoming.

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Memphis-Area Sale

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Memphis-Area Sale

Bradley Clousing and Daniel Geraghty of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale of a skilled nursing facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. Consisting of 85 beds in 49 units, the facility is situated along the Mississippi River on the Arkansas-Tennessee border. It was built in 1975 and includes a well-maintained physical plant.

It was owned by an Arkansas-based regional owner/operator that decided to divest this asset from its portfolio. Another regional owner/operator stepped in to acquire the facility, closing at the...
