Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund Jason Wolf, Ryan Dobratz | “As far as real estate operating companies, the Fund increased its position in Brookdale Senior Living (Brookdale) during the period. As covered in greater detail in the Fund's previous shareholder letter, Brookdale is a leading owner and operator of senior housing properties in the U.S., with more than 500 communities and nearly 50,000 units. The company is also recognized for its strong brand, as well as its focus on serving private-pay residents within assisted living and memory care facilities. Despite those attributes, Brookdale has spent the better part of this decade repositioning the company due to an ill-timed acquisition in 2015 (i.e., Emeritus). As a result, the company has failed to keep pace with its peers alongside the rebound in senior housing fundamentals following the Covid-19 Pandemic. In fact, Brookdale's weighted-average occupancy rate was recently reported at 82.5% versus the national average of nearly 89.5%. That said, it is not inconceivable to expect the reinvigorated control group at Brookdale to: (i) further improve upon the company's profitability by boosting occupancy alongside supportive demand trends; (ii) utilize the company's enhanced free cash flow profile to further reduce debt and resume tuck-in acquisitions; and (iii) engage in some degree of resource conversion with the company controlling the third largest portfolio of senior housing assets in the U.S., a property-type that is viewed to be increasingly scarce. In Fund Management's view, each item would improve the company's cost of capital (i.e., implied multiple), but all three KPI's will need to be checked off to close the substantial discount to Net-Asset Value (NAV) that exists today.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 17, 2026 | View Pitch |
