Ziegler Sells Two Healthpeak Properties/Brookdale Senior Living CCRCs

Ziegler’s Dan Revie Tedd Van Gorden represented Healthpeak Properties in the sale of its last two entrance-fee CCRCs that were part of its joint venture with Brookdale Senior Living.

Both were originally part of the National Benevolent Association portfolio that went through bankruptcy proceedings over a decade ago. And after Healthpeak bought out Brookdale’s interest in the joint venture in Fall 2019, these were the only two campuses excluded from that transaction.  Subsidiaries of the Texas-based not-for-profit Boncrest Resource Group acquired the...

Healthpeak Properties Nears Seniors Housing Exit

Healthpeak Properties Nears Seniors Housing Exit

Healthpeak Properties has nearly completed its exit from the rental seniors housing business, selling another $1 billion of assets in the first quarter of 2021, according to its latest earnings release. This comes after approximately $2.5 billion of seniors housing dispositions in the fourth quarter of 2020, so they are clearly antsy to get out.   The latest tranche of divestments included 12 properties in PEAK’s SHOP portfolio operated by Oakmont Senior Living and totaling 1,043 units. At $564 million, or $540,750 per unit, it represents the largest deal of the quarter. And considering Healthpeak’s haste to get out, commanding that sort of per-unit... Read More »
