Seattle-based senior living provider Emeritus Corporation grew again with the acquisition of 23 communities the firm is already leasing. The price tag of $305 million excludes transaction costs. Emeritus adds 1,672 units across the country to its portfolio with the purchase.In September, Emeritus–a provider of assisted living and Alzheimer\u2019s and related dementia care–completed a merger transaction with Summerville Senior Living Inc. making Emeritus one of the largest national assisted living companies, operating 287 communities in 36 states, comprising 24,712 units with a capacity for 29,474 residents at that time. The addition of the 23 properites provides increased financial flexibility for the company and furthers its long-term strategy of increasing its owned assets above 60 percent of the firm\u2019s consolidated portfolio. The company intends to finance the transaction through mortgage debt of approximately $250 million, mezzanine debt of $30 million provided by the sellers and the balance from available cash on hand. Emeritus expects to close the transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2008.
