Summit Healthcare REIT Makes Large Portfolio Acquisition

Summit Healthcare REIT Makes Large Portfolio Acquisition

Summit Healthcare REIT is entering Georgia with the acquisition of eight skilled nursing facilities across the state. Purchased for $130 million, or $157,000 per bed, the portfolio comprises 826 licensed beds.

With this deal and another acquisition closed in 2021, Summit... Read More »
