NASHVILLE-Locally based public company American Retirement Corp. and an affiliate of Prudential Real Estate Investors have paid Epoch Senior Living Inc. $138 million for 831 senior housing units in eight developments. The joint venture is 20% owned by ARC and 80% owned by a senior housing affiliate of PREI, which is the real estate investment management business of Prudential Financial.

The senior housing portfolio is comprised of 742 assisted living units and 89 Alzheimer’s units in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota, Nevada and Texas. The eight communities generated annualized total revenues of approximately $29 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2005. Occupancy at the end of October was 93%.

The estimated $53 million of equity in the transaction acquisition was funded by proportional capital contributions from the members of the joint venture entity. ARC will manage the portfolio pursuant to a long-term management agreement. Merrill Lynch Capital provided $85 million of debt financing. The debt has a five year term and requires the payment of interest only at a floating rate based upon Libor.
