Why it matters
The agreement allows Brookdale Senior Living to shift from leasing to owning assets, which is designed to lower future cash rent payments. Furthermore, a separate 39-community lease with Welltower Inc. was extended by four years, contingent upon the closing of the 30-community acquisition.
