Dispositions, Real Property Held for Sale and Impairment Dispositions, Real Property Held for Sale and Impairment
We periodically sell properties for various reasons, including favorable market conditions, the exercise of tenant purchase options or reduction of concentrations (e.g., property type, relationship or geography). We classify a real estate property as held for sale when (i) the disposal has been approved by those within the organization with the appropriate level of authority, (ii) the property is available for sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, (iv) it is probable that the property will be disposed of within one year, (v) the property is being marketed at a reasonable price relative to its fair value and (vi) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will significantly change or be withdrawn. As part of this process, we also consider whether these disposal transactions constitute a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results and represent a discontinued operation.
At September 30, 2026, 22 Seniors Housing Operating properties, 32 Triple-net properties and four Outpatient Medical properties, with an aggregate real estate balance of $306,776,000, were classified as held for sale. Expected gross sales proceeds from these held for sale properties total approximately $717,392,000.
The net book value of real property owned is reviewed quarterly on a property by property basis to determine if facts and circumstances suggest that a property may be impaired. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows indicate that the carrying value of the property will not be recoverable, the carrying value of the property is reduced to the estimated fair market value and an impairment charge is recognized. Properties that meet the held for sale criteria are recorded at the lesser of fair value less costs to sell or the carrying value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded impairment charges of $64,052,000 related to 17 Seniors Housing Operating properties, two Triple-net properties and six Outpatient Medical properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $75,359,000 of impairment charges related to nine Seniors Housing Operating properties and six Triple-net properties.
Operating results attributable to properties sold or classified as held for sale which do not meet the definition of discontinued operations are not reclassified on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We recognized income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and other items from properties sold or classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2026 of $(20,156,000) and $16,236,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and $92,534,000 and $213,786,000 for the same respective periods in 2025.
Outpatient Medical Portfolio Disposition
On August 14, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell a portfolio of 319 consolidated and unconsolidated Outpatient Medical properties for approximately $7.2 billion. Net proceeds are expected to total approximately $6.0 billion following the reinvestment of a portion of the gross proceeds into a mandatorily redeemable preferred interest investment recorded as a real estate loan receivable at fair value, accompanied by a profits interest. The disposition has and will continue to occur in tranches, and some properties are subject to rights of first refusal held by joint venture partners or ground lessors, which could result in separate sale transactions without a mandatorily redeemable preferred equity investment or an accompanying profits interest. The properties met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2025 and we expect to recognize a gain on the sale of the total portfolio. We assessed this transaction and concluded that the disposal of Outpatient Medical properties does not constitute a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we disposed of 74 properties related to the definitive agreement, with an aggregate gain on real estate dispositions of $591,031,000. Total sales price related to these properties was $1,812,300,000, which included non-cash consideration of $156,138,000 representing the initial fair value of the mandatorily redeemable preferred interest investment retained. Through September 30, 2026, we have disposed of 315 properties related to the definitive agreement.
The following is a summary of our real property disposition activity for the periods presented (in thousands):

Strategic Dissolution of Chartwell Joint Ventures
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we substantially dissolved our existing relationship with Chartwell in Canada in a transaction covering 39 previously unconsolidated Seniors Housing Operating properties. The transaction included the acquisition of Chartwell’s interest in 23 properties and the sale of our interest in 16 properties to Chartwell.
We recorded net real estate investments of $474,384,000 related to the 23 acquired and now consolidated properties, which was comprised of $77,385,000 of cash consideration and $396,999,000 of non-cash consideration. Non-cash consideration primarily includes $223,495,000 of assumed mortgage debt secured by the acquired properties, $78,538,000 of carryover investment from our prior equity method ownership interest, $85,435,000 of fair value interests in the 16 properties transferred by us to Chartwell and $9,531,000 of other net liabilities acquired. We also derecognized $41,064,000 of equity method investments related to the 16 properties retained by Chartwell and recorded a gain of $53,354,000 within gain (loss) on real estate dispositions and acquisitions of controlling interests, net within our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
In conjunction with the transaction, operations for the 23 now wholly owned properties, along with operations for two other existing wholly-owned properties, transitioned to Cogir Senior Living (“Cogir”).
