CHICAGO, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce its role as exclusive financial advisor to Marquee Capital (formerly, Berengaria Development) on the sale of BrightStar Senior Living Fort Wayne, a 41-unit assisted living and memory care center located in Fort Wayne, Indiana (Community).

The Community was developed by Marquee Capital and has been operated by BrightStar Senior Living since it opened in 2018. The 3.25-acre property is located in the Pine Valley neighborhood, eight miles north of downtown Fort Wayne, and includes private assisted living and memory care apartments and suites.

Marquee Capital is the real estate company affiliated with Marcus Investments, LLC, the Marcus' Family Office.

Lutheran Life Villages (LLV) purchased the property and took over operations on December 1, 2023. LLV is a local, faith-based nonprofit organization that has served Northeast Indiana for more than 90 years. The organization operates five senior communities across Fort Wayne and Kendallville, and is excited to expand their Assisted Living and Memory Care services. Alex Kiefer, President and CEO of Lutheran Life Villages, said, "The addition of this new location in North Fort Wayne increases our ability to provide residents with the specialized care they need, when they need it. We are excited to welcome BrightStar Senior Living staff members, residents and their families into the Lutheran Life Villages family of communities."

Nick Glaisner, Managing Director in Ziegler's Senior Housing & Care Finance Practice commented, "It was an honor and pleasure working with Marquee on another successful divestiture. Lutheran Life Villages is the ideal successor for Brightstar residents and staff."
