The Louisville, KY-based company said it will fund the purchase with cash, draws on its credit facility and $41 million of non-recourse property-level debt on some of the facilities. The annual rent on the 14 properties is expected to be $10.6 million.
Ventas, a healthcare real estate investment trust, owns 42 hospitals, 194 nursing facilities and 13 other healthcare and senior housing facilities, and is invested in 25 healthcare and senior housing facilities. The REIT is expected to report its earnings Feb. 26.
