TRANSACTION UPDATES
DISCOVERY PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION
In April 2019, HCP acquired a portfolio of nine senior housing properties with a total of 1,242 units for $445 million. This relationship-driven acquisition is comprised of modern, highly-amenitized physical plants with an average age of three years. The properties are located in high-growth markets in Florida (7), Georgia (1) and Texas (1) and offer 649 independent living units, 420 assisted living units, and 173 memory care units, with current occupancy of 79%. The initial capitalization rate is in the low-4% range and is projected to increase to approximately 6% as the newly developed properties achieve stabilization.
In conjunction with the acquisition, HCP agreed to provide up to $40 million of junior financing on four new developments to be developed and operated by Discovery representing 724 units. HCP will receive a purchase option to acquire each project at a 6.25% cap rate on stabilized NOI. Three of these developments are campus expansions of the properties that HCP acquired in the $445 million portfolio acquisition.
This transaction expands HCP's relationship with Discovery, a best-in-class, regionally focused operator who excels in developing and operating large continuum of care campuses in the Southeast and Texas.
OAKMONT PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION AND RIDEA CONVERSIONS
In May 2019, HCP expanded its relationship with Oakmont by acquiring three newly-built senior housing communities in attractive markets in California for $113 million. The portfolio includes 132 assisted living units and 68 memory care units, with current occupancy of 98%. As part of this transaction, HCP assumed $50 million of secured debt. The year one capitalization rate is in the mid-5% range.
HCP also converted four existing, high-quality and high-performing Oakmont-operated communities in California from triple-net leases to RIDEA structures, effective May 1, 2019.
Oakmont continues to be a partner of choice and an operator HCP has targeted for growth, due to their capabilities and strong track-record as a California-based operator and developer.
SUNRISE RIDEA CONVERSIONS
During the first quarter of 2019, we completed the conversion of 18 senior housing communities operated by Sunrise, from triple-net leases to RIDEA structures. The conversion better aligns our interest with Sunrise, removes a cumbersome legacy lease structure, and improves the real estate quality and diversification of our SHOP portfolio. HCP expects to convert an additional 17 Sunrise triple-net lease properties to RIDEA structures in 2019. Sunrise will remain the operator on all 35 properties.
87 & 101 CAMBRIDGEPARK DRIVE
During the first quarter of 2019, we acquired 87 CambridgePark Drive, a 100% leased, 64,000 square foot life science property for $71 million. We also acquired the adjacent land parcel and development rights at 101 CambridgePark Drive for consideration of up to $27 million. These investments add meaningful scale to our life science presence in Boston and expand our relationship with leading local owner and operator, King Street Properties.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATES
MEDICAL OFFICE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WITH HCA
As part of the development program with HCA, we signed definitive agreements on three additional development projects.
- Brentwood: A 119,000 square foot, six-story Class A medical office building, adjacent to one of HCA's corporate offices, in Nashville, Tennessee, with an estimated cost of $36 million. HCA has committed to lease 49% of the space, which will include an ambulatory surgery center.
- Ogden: A 70,000 square foot, four-story Class A medical office building on the campus of Ogden Regional Medical Center ("Ogden Regional") in Ogden, Utah, with an estimated cost of $18 million. Ogden Regional is operated by MountainStar Healthcare, a division of HCA, and is a leading hospital in the market. HCA will anchor the development and has committed to lease 66% of the space.
- Lee's Summit: A 52,000 square foot, three-story Class A medical office building, located on the campus of Lee's Summit Medical Center, in Lee's Summit, Missouri, with an estimated cost of $16 million. In 2018, Lee's Summit Medical Center completed a $21 million hospital expansion, further growing HCA's commitment to the community. HCA will anchor the project and has committed to lease 50% of the space.
Construction on these development projects is expected to commence in the second quarter of this year.
BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MARKET ACTIVITIES
Year-to-date, we sold 5.1 million shares of common stock under our ATM program, via forward sales agreements, at an initial weighted average net price of $31.02 per share. We expect to settle the forward contracts over the next 12 months to fund acquisition and other investment activities.
At March 31, 2019, we had $1.7 billion of availability under our $2.0 billion credit facility.
DIVIDEND
On April 25, 2019, we announced that our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per common share. The dividend will be paid on May 21, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the market close on May 6, 2019.
SUSTAINABILITY
In March 2019, we published our 8th annual Corporate Sustainability Report highlighting the environmental, social, and governance aspects of our operations. We were also named to The Sustainability Yearbook 2019, a listing of the world's most sustainable companies, compiled according to the results of RobecoSAM's annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

And personally, I want to thank Pete and Joe for their guidance and sage advice. I will very much miss having them on our Board."
