CHICAGO, Sept. 4, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, has played a crucial role in the sale of The Village at Anthony Boulevard, a 346-unit senior living and skilled nursing campus in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The transaction, which closed on September 1, 2026, was managed by Ziegler as the exclusive sell-side financial advisor.

This decision was a significant step for LLV, given the organization’s longstanding commitment to the campus and its reputation in Fort Wayne.
