SOUTH BEND, IN - Strawberry Fields REIT LLC (Strawberry Fields), an owner and lessor of nursing homes, long-term acute care hospital facilities and medical office buildings in the Midwestern and Southern U.S., today announced it has acquired a rehabilitation and nursing facility for $21.8 million.
This acquisition was financed with a $15 million loan from Bank Leumi. The Landmark Group – through Landmark of Louisville (a sister operator to Landmark of Lancaster who operates Strawberry’s facility in Lancaster, Kentucky) – will be the tenant and the first year rent will be $2.4 million.

We have confidence in their ability to maintain and improve performance at Parkway.”
