WOODLAND PARK, COLO. — Kiser Group has brokered the $13 million sale of a skilled nursing facility located in Woodland Park, roughly 20 miles northwest of Colorado Springs. The property, Forest Ridge, was 95 percent occupied at the time of sale. Cottonwood acquired the facility, adding to its portfolio of more than 30 skilled nursing properties in the state. Mark Myers of Kiser Group arranged the transaction. “Forest Ridge was an appealing opportunity because it aligns perfectly with Cottonwood’s strategy of acquiring quality, well-located facilities in markets with strong operational fundamentals,” says Myers. “The facility’s proximity to a 15-bed critical access hospital and its location within a community with a significant veterans population provide strong upside potential for expanding both veterans affairs (VA) and Medicare resident bases.”

From established patterns of corporate relocations, job creation and direct foreign investment to fostering emerging industries like renewable energy, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace and financial services, Texas has a long history of economic strength, industry diversification and innovation. That track record makes it one of the nation’s premier destinations for both businesses and residents. Last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, Texas led the nation in population growth for the 14th consecutive year, adding more than 560,000 people to reach over 31 million statewide.
