Business Combinations [Abstract] |
ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY | NOTE 4—ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY We acquire and invest in seniors housing and healthcare properties primarily to achieve an expected yield on investment, to grow and diversify our portfolio and revenue base, and to reduce our dependence on any single tenant, operator or manager, geographic location, asset type, business model or revenue source. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired 14 triple-net leased properties (including six assets previously owned by an equity method investee) and one life science, research and medical campus (reported within our office operations reportable business segment) for an aggregate purchase price of $404.4 million. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
