Brookdale Senior Living has completed the purchase of 17 senior living communities for about $157 million and agreed to buy 30 more leased communities from Welltower for $290 million. The transactions are expected to lower annual rent obligations and increase Brookdale's owned real estate. A related lease amendment would extend a separate 39-community lease to 2036 and allow Brookdale to exercise a fair market value purchase option earlier.

Expanded Detail

EXPANDED:

Brookdale closed its earlier-announced purchase of 17 assisted living and memory care communities, totaling 735 units across Colorado, Kansas, Ohio, and Texas. The roughly $157 million deal was financed with cash and $108 million in non-recourse mortgage debt carrying a variable rate tied to SOFR plus 215 basis points, with a five-year initial term and two possible one-year extensions. It removes about $11 million in 2027 cash rent and lifts Brookdale's owned share of consolidated units to about 77%.

The company also agreed to buy 30 leased communities—1,152 units in 13 states—for $290 million. That lease, with about $17.8 million in 2027 cash rent, was set to expire in 2032. Closing is expected in late 2026 and would push owned units to nearly 80%.
