Chartwell Announces Termination of the Agreement to Sell Six of Its U.S. Properties
(firmenpresse) - MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/19/12 -- Chartwell Seniors Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX: CSH.UN) ("Chartwell") announced today that the previously announced agreement to sell its 100% ownership in six U.S. properties aggregating 1,221 independent living suites located in Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Alabama and Ohio (the "Agreement") to Harvest Facility Holdings LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortress Investment Group LLC (the "Purchaser") has been terminated by the Purchaser. Chartwell will continue to own these high quality properties, which will remain under the management of Brookdale Senior Living.
