Brookdale Pays $75 Million for California Property
Brentwood, Tennessee-based Brookdale Senior Living (NYSE: BKD) paid about $74.5 million to acquire the real estate of Palm Beach Gardens, a 317-unit property in Palm Beach, Florida.
That equates to about $235,000 per unit, according to The Real Deal, which reported on details of the transaction, citing property records.
The seller was Irvine, California-based real estate investment trust HCP Inc. (NYSE: HCP), leading The Real Deal to surmise that this is part of a $275 million, six-property deal that the REIT struck with Brookdale in November 2017.
That complex transaction is one of several that HCP has undertaken to lessen its exposure to Brookdale, the nation’s largest senior living operator, which has struggled financially since acquiring rival Emeritus Corp. in 2014.
Brookdale financed the Palm Beach acquisition with a $139 million loan from Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, according to The Real Deal.
