Harrison Street Real Estate Capital LLC, a Chicago-based real estate private equity firm, and The Engel Burman Group have entered into a joint purchase and sale agreement with Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT and ING Real Estate Australia Pty to acquire six Bristal assisted living communities consisting of 937 beds, located throughout Nassau County, N.Y.
Engel Burman originally founded the Bristal Assisted Living brand in 1999 as a privately owned business. The six communities in contract are properties that Engel Burman built, managed and owned between 1999 and 2007, prior to selling them to the Chartwell and ING. Since that sale, Engel Burman has continued to successfully manage the properties and will continue to manage the communities on an ongoing basis for the Harrison/Engel Burman joint venture post-closing.

Further, Engel Burman opened a seventh Bristal Assisted Living community in East Northport in 2012. This community is approaching stabilization and will be part of the joint venture with Harrison Street Real Estate Capital. In addition, Engel Burman is currently constructing three additional communities, two in Westchester, N.Y. and one in Bergen County, N.J. Engel Burman also controls approximately six parcels of land which are in various stages of development and are expected to break ground within the next one to two years. Harrison Street and Engel Burman plan to double the size of the Bristal portfolio by 2014 and continue to grow the number of communities throughout the tri-state region thereafter.
“This strategically situates our company for future regional growth utilizing the platform we created in the late 1990s,” Engel Burman President Jan Burman said in a statement. “Owning these assets once again while aligning ourselves with a strong institutional partner who shares our vision for growth ensures that The Bristal will remain the benchmark for excellence in assisted living.”
Chartwell owned a 50 percent stake in five of the properties. The purchase price for those five assets amounted to $290.0 million, including the assumption of $199.6 million in mortgage debt secured by the assets. The balance of the purchase price will be paid in cash.
“The sale of the Bristal Portfolio is in line with our strategic priority to focus our efforts and investments more on the strong and stable Canadian market where we have an established strong presence in four key provinces, full operating control of our properties, and where we have a first-hand knowledge and understanding of the markets in which we operate,” Chartwell President & CEO Brent Binions said in a statement. “The Bristal Portfolio has been a strong performer since Chartwell acquired it in 2007. We would like to thank The Engel Burman Group for their outstanding work over the past five years.”
