American Healthcare REIT has entered into agreements to acquire the Kensington Portfolio — eight senior housing communities totaling 745 units across California, Maryland, New York, and Virginia — for $873 million. The deal will be funded through equity offerings, debt, and cash, adding to the company's recent pattern of growth via acquisition. The related equity offering priced at $53.75 per share, with expected proceeds of $707.8 million before expenses, and underwriters have a 30-day option for 1,987,500 additional shares. The transaction is structured in phases, with the initial closing targeted for September 2026 and the remainder by year-end, though conditions including lender consent and property performance milestones must be met. This acquisition follows a $1.04 billion post-quarter deal disclosed in the recent 10-Q and comes just days after the company launched a new equity offering, signaling an aggressive expansion strategy that will likely require additional capital raises.
