Missouri Slope is seeking a buyer for the two vacant structures on its Hillview campus in Bismarck, North Dakota. The campus originally housed a nursing home, a memory‑care unit, and a 64‑unit assisted‑living complex. Earlier this year, the nursing home and memory‑care unit relocated to the organization’s newer Washington Street campus, leaving those buildings empty.
Why the sale?
“What we’ve realized is the vacant portion of the nursing facility is very resource‑intensive to redevelop it,” said Reier Thompson, president of Missouri Slope. “And so, we’ve decided that it’d be better suited for a developer or someone else to go ahead and do that.”
Thompson added that the decision allows the organization to focus its resources on the assisted‑living community that remains on the Hillview property. The 64‑unit assisted‑living complex will stay open and continue serving its residents.
Looking for a good neighbor
Missouri Slope officials emphasized that they are looking for a buyer who will be a good neighbor to the existing assisted‑living residents. The listing went live recently, and the organization hopes the new owner will either repurpose the vacant buildings or develop them in a way that complements the ongoing senior‑care operations.
Impact on the community
The Hillview campus has been a fixture in Bismarck’s senior‑care landscape for years. By keeping the assisted‑living portion operational, Missouri Slope maintains an important resource for families seeking local care options for aging loved ones. At the same time, the sale could bring new development opportunities to the area, potentially adding jobs or new services depending on the buyer’s plans.
Local officials have not yet weighed in on the sale, but the move aligns with broader trends in senior‑care real estate, where providers consolidate services onto newer, more efficient campuses and divest older, under‑utilized properties.
Next steps
Potential buyers are encouraged to contact Missouri Slope’s real‑estate liaison for more details on the property, including size, zoning, and any existing infrastructure. The organization will continue to monitor the market and work closely with the new owner to ensure a smooth transition that respects the needs of current residents.
For families and community members interested in the future of the Hillview campus, Missouri Slope has pledged to keep the public informed as the sale process moves forward.
