BRENTWOOD, TENN. AND IRVINE, CALIF. — Brookdale Senior Living (NYSE: BKD) and HCP Inc. (NYSE: HCP) have arranged the closing of their previously announced portfolio acquisition of 35 private pay seniors housing communities, representing 5,025 units, for $847 million from Chartwell Retirement Residences.
Brookdale has operated the portfolio since 2011 after its acquisition of Horizon Bay and will continue to manage the communities under a RIDEA joint venture structure with HCP and Brookdale owning 90 percent and 10 percent, respectively. The portfolio is currently 89 percent occupied with an average monthly rate of $3,425.
It was acquired unencumbered by third party debt and is projected to generate a first-year cash yield of approximately 6.6 percent.

The portfolio also includes leasehold interests in two communities, which are wholly owned by HCP, representing 233 units with purchase-option rights exercisable in 2017.
“This portfolio acquisition provides attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders, and also creates value for our operating partner through a real estate-driven transaction,” said Lauralee Martin, president and CEO of HCP, when the deal was first announced.
