  1. Will miss seeing the seniors eating at their little restaurant on the way to Rockefeller. My kids would always wave and smile :)

  2. But wait are they going to kick all the sweet seniors out? This is terrible.

  3. They aren’t going to kick the seniors out, Brookdale sold the real estate but will likely still be operating the property. The buyer, Ventas, is one of the largest owners of senior living properties in the country and owns a lot of the real estate that Brookdale operates around the country.

    As The Broadsheet article noted the BPCA mandates that the property “shall be operated as a senior housing facility and for no other use or purpose.”

    In fact they just applied for a liquor license so dinnertime (and breakfast?) should be more jolly than ever…
