TOLEDO, OH - Health Care REIT Inc. completed the acquisition of the Sunrise Senior Living Inc. property portfolio, the sale of the Sunrise management company, and the acceleration of all planned joint venture partner buy-outs.
GlobeSt.com previously reported on proposed acquisition when it was announced in August 2012.
The company's investment in Sunrise properties is currently $3.4 billion, but that is expected to rise to $4.3 billion by July upon exercise of the firm's rights to acquire additional joint venture partner interests at fixed purchase prices.
“Rapid and efficient execution of a complex acquisition, accelerated joint venture buy-outs at accretive prices, and the favorable sale of the management company has positioned us with the premier seniors housing portfolio in the market place at a price that generates very attractive risk adjusted returns for our shareholders,” George L. Chapman, Chairman and CEO of Health Care REIT, says in a press release.
