Transaction trifecta

Mike Garbers and Cody Tremper of Greystone Real Estate Advisors finished out the year strong with three closings, including U.S. Memory Care’s sale of four MC communities in Texas to a private investor, and a publicly traded REIT’s divestment of a 298-unit independent living community operated by Brookdale Senior Living in Southfield, Michigan.

U.S. Memory Care also included a beauty/barber shop,... Read More »
