Brookdale buys 3 retirement centers

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. has completed a $102 million acquisition of three retirement centers.
Nashville-based Brookdale owns and operates more than 500 senior living centers around the nation. The total purchase price for the three properties was $102 million, plus fees.

Brookdale had previously owned a minority non-financial stake in the centers and collected management fees for work. The company said the three centers have a total of 642 units and had 92 percent occupancy in the third quarter.

The deal was financed with a $75.4 million mortgage loan from Fannie Mae, which carries a fixed interest rate of 6.1 percent, and with cash, officials said.
