Brookdale Closes 17-Community Buy, Adds 30 More From Welltower
BKD sits 26% above its 52-week low of $8.02.
Summary
Brookdale completed its $157 million acquisition of 17 leased communities from Welltower, adding 735 units to its owned portfolio. The company also announced a new agreement to acquire 30 additional leased communities from Welltower for $290 million, expanding its ownership footprint further. This follows the August 5 announcement of the initial 17-community deal and the Q2 return to profitability. The move reduces lease obligations and increases owned real estate, which should improve long-term margin stability. The new 30-community agreement signals continued portfolio optimization with Welltower.
