ZIEGLER ADVISES THE SALE OF THE VILLAGE AT ANTHONY BOULEVARD

CHICAGO, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce its role as exclusive sell-side financial advisor to Lutheran Life Villages (LLV) in the sale of The Village at Anthony Boulevard (the "Community"), a 346-unit continuum campus located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The sale closed on September 1^st, 2026.

Casa Consulting (Casa), an operator of senior living and skilled nursing communities throughout Indiana, was selected as the buyer, helping ensure the continuation of the Community's long-standing tradition of providing high-quality, compassionate care while positioning the campus for future growth and investment. Moshe Siegal, CEO of Casa Consulting stated, "Our vision is for The Village at Anthony Boulevard to be one of Indiana's premier continuing care retirement communities, recognized for exceptional clinical outcomes, outstanding customer service, beautiful surroundings, and an individualized resident experience."

LLV began working closely with Ziegler in 2025 to assess the future of The Village at Anthony Boulevard. Through a series of meetings and discussions with LLV's leadership and Board of Directors, Ziegler assisted the organization in its decision to transition the Community to a new operator. Given LLV's longstanding commitment to the campus and reputation in Fort Wayne, the decision to sell represented a significant step for the organization.

Alex Kiefer, President and CEO of Lutheran Life Villages stated, "We thank Ziegler for their dedication and professionalism during this process. Through the combination of their experience and knowledge of the space, Ziegler was an excellent advisor for LLV in the divestiture of The Village at Anthony Boulevard. We are excited about our agreement with Casa and are confident that they share our commitment to putting the needs of residents, families, and team members first, and we believe they are well positioned to build upon the strong foundation that has been established."
