However, investments and acquisitions aren’t the only transactions that providers have been engaging in during the year’s final quarter. Industry members have also been ramping up construction of new developments in an effort to meet the country’s growing demand for senior housing services. Accordingly, senior housing participants that are seeking capital for growth should contact Cambridge Realty Capital to learn more about the many different financing options that it offers for a wide variety of senior housing transactions.
