The Portopiccolo Group Acquires Michigan SNF Portfolio

Northland Networks, a debt placement agent that finances senior living projects through a large network of community banks, arranged acquisition financing for a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in southeast Michigan with 250 beds.
