Forest City has been an excellent partner, and we appreciate their role in our successful partnership over the last five years,\u201d Tom DeRosa, CEO of Toledo, Ohio-based HCN, said in a news release. \u201cThe proceeds from this sale will be reinvested accretively in our core business: owning, developing and managing the highest quality seniors housing, post-acute and outpatient medical real estate in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>University Park is a 27-acre, mixed-use campus developed by Cleveland-based Forest City adjacent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. The project includes 10 life-science office buildings totaling more than 1.7 million square feet, and 530 multi-family units in four apartment buildings. University Park also includes a 210-room hotel, grocery store, restaurants and retail. MIT is the ground lessor for the entire project.<\/p>\n<p>The seven buildings in the HCN transaction are: 26 Landsdowne St., 64 Sidney St., 35 Landsdowne St., 40 Landsdowne St., 45\/75 Sidney St., 65\/80 Landsdowne St. and 88 Sidney St.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUniversity Park is one of our most valuable and productive, urban, mixed-use projects, and our five-year partnership with Health Care REIT has been productive and mutually beneficial,\u201d David LaRue, Forest City president &amp; CEO, said in a separate news release. \u201cAcquiring full equity ownership of these assets not only gives us greater control and flexibility, but also enhances our ability to create shareholder value. The transaction aligns with our strategy of concentrating our investments in high-quality assets in key urban markets, reduces the number of operating assets we own through joint ventures, and both strengthens and simplifies our portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move comes as Forest City continues transforming the company from one known primarily as a developer to one that focuses on owning, operating and developing high-quality properties in urban markets. In January, Forest City announced it planned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/finance\/reits\/-forest-city-enterprises-could-be-reit-by-2016\/1004111261.html\">begin operating as a REIT<\/a> next year. LaRue said then that the company would continue to reshape and simplify the business, a process that started in 2012 as it began selling non-core assets and reducing development exposure. It is focusing more of its efforts on office buildings, multi-family properties, regional malls and mixed-use projects in cities like Boston, New York, Denver and Washington, D.C. The company currently has $8.8 billion in total assets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years after Forest City Enterprises and Health Care REIT entered into a JV for seven life sciences buildings in Cambridge, Mass., the REIT has agreed to sell its minority stake to Forest City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1068,"featured_media":1004118832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21783,11,21742,10,21747],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004118823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-investment","category-midatlantic","category-latest","category-northeast","category-office"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
