                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and the financial statements, including the notes thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, all share
and financial information set forth herein assume that the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is not exercised. Unless the context requires otherwise, all
references to the "Company" or "Brookdale" in this Prospectus mean the Company
and its subsidiaries.
 
  Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. ("Brookdale" or the "Company") provides
senior and assisted living services to the elderly through its facilities
located in urban and suburban areas of major metropolitan markets. The Company
operates 11 senior and assisted living facilities containing a total of 2,350
units which, as of September 30, 1997, were approximately 97% occupied. The
Company owns four facilities, leases five facilities and manages two other
facilities pursuant to management contracts. With facilities that contain an
average of approximately 214 units, the Company believes it is able to achieve
economies of scale within its facilities and provide senior and assisted living
services in a cost-effective manner. The Company plans to acquire or lease four
to six senior and assisted living facilities per year containing an aggregate
of approximately 800 to 1,200 units and to commence development of two to three
new facilities per year containing approximately 220 units each.
 
  Brookdale's facilities are designed for middle to upper income residents who
desire an upscale residential environment providing the highest level of
quality, care and value. Brookdale's objective is to allow its residents to age
in place by providing them with a continuum of senior and assisted living
services. By providing residents a range of service options as their needs
change, the Company seeks to achieve a greater continuity of care, thereby
enabling seniors to maintain their residency for a longer time period. This
ability to allow residents to age in place is beneficial to Brookdale's
residents as well as their families who are burdened with care option decisions
for their elderly relatives. In addition to studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom
units, the Company provides all residents with basic services, such as meal
service, 24-hour emergency response, housekeeping, concierge services,
transportation and recreational activities. For residents who require
additional supplemental care services, the Company provides assistance with
certain activities of daily living. The average age of Brookdale's residents is
approximately 82 years old, and many of these residents require some level of
assistance with activities of daily living. The Company intends to bring "in-
house" as many of these services as practicable and has established a program
providing various levels and combinations of these services called "Personally
Yours."SM The levels of care provided by the Company to residents vary
depending upon the licensure requirements of the states in which the facilities
are located.
 
  The Company's operating philosophy is to provide the highest quality of
personalized care for its residents in order to enhance their physical and
mental well-being. An element of this philosophy is to establish affiliations
between Brookdale's facilities and local hospitals or health care networks. The
Company has successfully implemented hospital affiliations at three of its
facilities and intends to arrange hospital and health care network affiliations
for its other facilities and those that it acquires, develops or leases in the
future. Hospital or health care network affiliations generally provide for on-
site physician and nursing services and facilitate the provision of health care
services and wellness programs to the Company's residents.
 
  The Company believes that the senior and assisted living industry is emerging
as a preferred alternative to meet the growing demand for a cost-effective
residential setting in which to care for the elderly who choose not to or
cannot live independently due to physical or cognitive frailties and who may
require assistance with some of the activities of daily living or the
availability of nursing or other medical care. In general, senior and assisted
living consists of a combination of housing and the availability of 24-hour a
day personal support services and assistance with certain activities of daily
living. The Company believes that factors contributing to the growth of the
senior and assisted living industry include: (i) the aging of the U.S.
population; (ii) consumer preference for greater independence in a residential
setting as compared to institutional settings, such as skilled nursing
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
facilities; (iii) its cost effectiveness compared to skilled nursing care and
home health care; and (iv) the decreasing ability of relatives to provide care
for the elderly in the home.
 
  The Company's business and growth strategy is based on the following key
elements: (i) acquiring and leasing senior and assisted living facilities in
major metropolitan markets; (ii) leveraging its development expertise to
construct its prototype facility in major metropolitan markets; (iii)
utilizing, when available, long-term, tax-exempt bonds to finance the
acquisition and renovation of existing facilities and the development of new
facilities; (iv) providing access to a full continuum of senior and assisted
living services to residents of its facilities; (v) utilizing sophisticated
marketing programs to maintain high occupancy rates; (vi) utilizing its
operational expertise to enhance the profitability of its existing and future
facilities; and (vii) expanding facilities where economically advantageous.
 
  Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in September
1996 to continue and expand the business and operations of the senior and
assisted living division of The Prime Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates
(collectively, "PGI"). The Company's principal executive offices are located at
77 West Wacker Drive, Suite 4800, Chicago, Illinois 60601, and its telephone
number is (312) 977-3700.
 
                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  In November 1997, The Gables at Farmington, a 173-unit facility located in
Farmington, Connecticut, was acquired by an unaffiliated third party for $23.1
million and simultaneously net leased to the Company. The Company also recently
entered into agreements to purchase The Classic at West Palm Beach, a 296-unit
facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, for $28.0 million, The
Brendenwood Retirement Community, a 149-unit facility located in Voorhees, New
Jersey, for $15.8 million, and Harbor Village, a 276-unit facility located in
Chicago, Illinois, for $16.8 million. The closings of The Classic at West Palm
Beach and The Brendenwood Retirement Community are expected to occur in
December 1997. The closing of Harbor Village is expected to occur prior to
January 31, 1998. There can be no assurance that any or all of such
transactions will be consummated in a timely manner, if at all. The Company
expects to assign the purchase agreements for these facilities to unaffiliated
third parties which will acquire the facilities and in turn net lease them to
the Company. The Company has acquired development sites located in Austin,
Texas and Southfield, Michigan for the construction of facilities with
approximately 220 units at each site and has commenced construction at the
Austin, Texas site. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements to
acquire development sites located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and Raleigh, North
Carolina for the construction of facilities with approximately 220 units at
each site, the closings of which are contingent upon the receipt of all
necessary approvals for the development of the respective sites and are
expected to occur within 12 months following the completion of the Offering.
The Company has also been selected by Battery Park City Authority to be the
developer and operator of a senior and assisted living facility to be located
in Battery Park City in New York, New York.
 
  In October 1997, the Company obtained a $10.0 million revolving credit
facility from LaSalle National Bank ("LaSalle") for working capital and general
corporate purposes. LaSalle has agreed to increase the amount of the credit
facility to $20.0 million. The credit facility will terminate upon the
completion of the Offering. In September 1997, the Company obtained a
commitment from Nomura Asset Capital Corporation ("Nomura") for a $100.0
million construction and permanent financing facility. The facility may be used
to finance up to 80% of the development costs of facilities.
 
  In May 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of 4.5 million
shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share (the "IPO"). The proceeds from the
IPO, net of related underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs,
totaled approximately $44.2 million. The underwriters of the IPO exercised
their over-allotment option, and in June 1997, the Company sold an additional
675,000 shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. The Company received net
proceeds of approximately $7.2 million from the sale of these additional
shares.

(1) The historical financial and operating data for the years ended December

    represent combined historical financial data for the senior and assisted
    living division of PGI.
(2) The financial and operating data for the nine months ended September 30,
    1997 represent combined historical financial data for the senior and
    assisted living division of PGI until the completion of the IPO on May 7,
    1997 and thereafter, the operations of the Company.
(3) The pro forma as adjusted data as of September 30, 1997 and for the nine
    months ended September 30, 1997 give effect to the net lease by the Company
    of The Gables at Farmington, The Classic at West Palm Beach, The
    Brendenwood Retirement Community and Harbor Village and the Offering. In
    November 1997, The Gables at Farmington, a facility located in Farmington,
    Connecticut, was acquired by an unaffiliated third party for $23.1 million
    and simultaneously net leased to the Company. In addition, the Company has
    entered into
 
                                       4

  definitive purchase agreements to acquire The Classic at West Palm Beach, a
  facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, for approximately $28.0
  million, The Brendenwood Retirement Community, a facility located in
  Voorhees, New Jersey, for approximately $15.8 million, and Harbor Village, a
  facility located in Chicago, Illinois, for approximately $16.8 million.
  Although the Company expects to assign its rights to purchase these
  facilities to unaffiliated third parties and that such third parties will
  purchase and in turn net lease such facilities to the Company, there can be
  no assurance that the conditions to closing such transactions will be
  satisfied in a timely manner, if at all. If The Classic at West Palm Beach,
  The Brendenwood Retirement Community and Harbor Village are not acquired by
  such third parties and in turn net leased to the Company, pro forma as
  adjusted total revenue, operating income and net loss would be $36,229,
  $2,461 and $89, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
  Pro forma as adjusted data does not give effect to interest income on cash

  Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Company.
(4) Prior to the IPO, general and administrative expenses were allocated to
    the then existing facilities; however, following the IPO, the Company
    began reporting general and administrative expenses as a separate item.
(5) As of December 18, 1997, the Company operated 11 facilities with 2,350
    units.
(6) Total units operated represents the total units operated as of the end of
    the period. Occupancy rate is calculated by dividing total occupied units
    by total units operated as of the end of the period. Pro forma amounts
    include The Gables at Farmington, The Classic at West Palm Beach, The
    Brendenwood Retirement Community and Harbor Village.
(7) Average monthly revenue per unit represents the average of the total
    monthly resident fees divided by occupied units at the end of the period
    averaged over the respective period presented and for the period of time
    in operation during the period. Pro forma amounts include The Gables at
    Farmington, The Classic at West Palm Beach, The Brendenwood Retirement
    Community and Harbor Village.
(8) Cash-restricted represents amounts segregated for use in the payment of
    real estate taxes and other operating activity in accordance with
    governmental and debt agreement requirements. Letter of credit deposit
    represents cash collateral for the credit enhancement of $65.0 million of
    tax-exempt bonds that are secured by the Heritage and the Devonshire
    facilities. The Company intends to earn interest income on both cash-
    restricted and letter of credit deposit amounts. See Note 2 to both the
    Combined Financial Statements of the Original Facilities and Activelife
    Facilities and Notes (a), (b) and (f) to the Unaudited Pro Forma
    Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company.
(9) The Company has pledged investment securities with a value of
    approximately $4.7 million to secure its obligations under the lease with
    respect to The Gables at Farmington. The Company expects to pledge similar
    collateral with respect to leases of The Classic at West Palm Beach, The
    Brendenwood Retirement Community and Harbor Village.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  Prospective investors should carefully consider the factors set forth below,
as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus, in evaluating
an investment in the Common Stock offered hereby.
 
FUTURE ACQUISITION AND LEASE RISKS; POTENTIAL DIFFICULTIES OF INTEGRATION
 
  The Company currently plans to acquire or lease four to six additional
senior and assisted living facilities per year. While the Company is actively
pursuing acquisition opportunities, it has not entered into agreements for any
material acquisitions other than its contracts to acquire The Classic at West
Palm Beach, The Brendenwood Retirement Community and Harbor Village. There can
be no assurance that the Company's acquisitions will be completed at the rate
currently expected, if at all. In connection with certain acquisitions, the
Company may seek to obtain certain licenses which may delay the closing of an
acquisition. The success of the Company's acquisitions will be determined by
numerous factors, including the Company's ability to identify suitable
acquisition opportunities, competition for such acquisitions, the purchase
price, the financial performance of the facilities after acquisition and the
ability of the Company to integrate effectively the operations of acquired
facilities. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully integrate the operations of recently acquired or leased
facilities with the Company. If the Company is unsuccessful in achieving its
acquisition plans or in operating acquired or leased facilities and
integrating them into its operations, the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected. See "Business--Business and Growth Strategy."
 
DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION RISKS
 
  In addition to acquisitions, the Company currently plans to commence
development of two to three new senior and assisted living facilities per year
containing approximately 220 units each in urban and suburban areas in major
metropolitan markets. The Company's ability to achieve its development plans
will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's
control. Further, due to the time required for site selection, governmental
approvals, construction and rental, it is expected that a facility will not
achieve a 95% occupancy rate (a stabilized rate) for approximately 26 months
from commencement of construction, if at all. The successful development of
additional facilities will involve a number of risks, including the
possibility that the Company may be unable to locate suitable sites at
acceptable prices or may be unable to obtain, or may experience delays in
obtaining, necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy, licensing and
other required governmental permits and authorizations. The Company may also
incur construction costs that exceed original estimates, may not complete
construction projects on schedule and may experience competition in the search
for suitable development sites. There can be no assurance that the Company
will not suffer delays in its development program, which could slow the
Company's growth. The Company relies and will continue to rely on third party
general contractors to construct its new facilities. There can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience difficulties in working with general
contractors and subcontractors, which could result in increased construction
costs and delays. Further, facility development is subject to a number of
contingencies over which the Company will have little control and that may
adversely affect project cost and completion time, including shortages of, or
the inability to obtain, labor or materials, the inability of the general
contractor or subcontractors to perform under their contracts, strikes,
adverse weather conditions and changes in applicable laws or regulations or in
the method of applying such laws and regulations. Accordingly, if the Company
is unable to achieve its development plans, its business, financial condition
and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. See
"Business--Business and Growth Strategy."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
 
  To achieve its acquisition and development plans and growth objectives, the
Company will need to obtain significant additional financial resources. The
Company estimates the cost to acquire and develop the new facilities targeted
for acquisition or development over the next two years is approximately $225.0
million to
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
$350.0 million in the aggregate (including mortgage debt financing and other
incurred or assumed debt), which substantially exceeds the Company's cash on
hand, existing credit facilities and commitments and the net proceeds of the
Offering. Accordingly, the Company's future growth will depend on its ability
to obtain significant additional financing on acceptable terms. The Company
has obtained a commitment for a $100.0 million construction and permanent
financing facility. The Company will from time to time seek additional debt
financing through a variety of sources, which may include tax-exempt bonds,
conventional mortgage financing and bank financing, leases with third parties
or other similar financing methods. If such debt financing is unavailable or
is not available on terms favorable to the Company, the Company may obtain
financing through additional equity offerings, the completion of which may
result in a dilution to the Company's stockholders. There can be no assurance
that future financing, whether debt or equity, will be available as needed or
on terms acceptable to the Company. A lack of funds may require the Company to
delay or eliminate all or some of its development projects and acquisition
plans and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company's
growth plans. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
 
ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS; FLOATING RATE DEBT
 
  The Company was subject to mortgage and other indebtedness in an aggregate
principal amount of approximately $96.2 million at September 30, 1997. The
Company is currently party to various operating leases which will require
payments of approximately $11.7 million in 1998 and which contain certain
provisions for rent increases beyond base rent. In addition, the Company is
currently planning to enter into leases in connection with The Classic at West
Palm Beach, The Brendenwood Retirement Community and Harbor Village. The
Company intends to finance its senior and assisted living facilities through
conventional mortgage financing and bank financing, leases with third parties,
tax-exempt bond financing or other similar financing methods. The amount of
indebtedness and lease payments is expected to increase substantially as the
Company pursues its growth strategy. As a result, the Company will continue to
be subject to risks normally associated with significant financing leverage.
At September 30, 1997, approximately $65.0 million in principal amount of the
Company's indebtedness bore interest at floating rates. In addition,
indebtedness the Company may incur in the future, including long-term, tax-
exempt bond financing, if available, may bear interest at floating rates and
in such event increases in prevailing interest rates could increase
significantly the Company's interest payment obligations. There can be no
assurance that the Company will generate sufficient cash flow from operations
to cover required interest, principal and lease payments. Any payment or other
default could cause the lender to foreclose upon the facilities securing such
indebtedness or, in the case of a lease, could result in the termination of
the lease, with a consequent loss of income and asset value to the Company. In
addition, it is anticipated that the terms of the Company's credit facilities
or letters of credit will restrict the payment of dividends by the Company or
distributions by its wholly owned partnerships or subsidiaries to the Company
if certain financial ratios are not met. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Operations of the Company.
 
  The Heritage, Devonshire, Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities
have been financed with tax-exempt bonds. In order to maintain the tax-exempt
treatment of the interest paid on these bonds, the facilities must comply with
certain federal income tax requirements, principally pertaining to the maximum
income level of a specified portion ("Qualified Residents") of the facilities'
residents. Failure to satisfy these requirements would constitute an event of
default under such bonds, thereby accelerating their maturity. In certain
cases, the Company's ability to increase prices to Qualified Residents at the
facilities with such bond financing (in response to higher operating costs or
other factors) could be limited if it affects the ability of the Company to
attract and retain such Qualified Residents.
 
DIFFICULTIES OF MANAGING RAPID GROWTH
 
  The Company expects that the number of facilities it owns and operates will
increase substantially as the Company pursues its development and acquisition
strategy. This planned growth will place significant demands
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
on the Company's management resources. In order to manage its growth
effectively, the Company must continue to expand its operational, financial
and management information systems and continue to attract, train, motivate,
manage and retain key employees. If the Company is unable to manage its growth
effectively, its business, financial condition and results of operations could
be materially and adversely affected. See "Business-- Business and Growth
Strategy" and "Management."
 
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
 
  The Company was organized in September 1996 to own, operate, acquire and
develop senior and assisted living facilities. The Company did not begin
operations until May 7, 1997 when, upon completion of the IPO, PGI contributed
to the Company its interests in the Hallmark, Heritage, Devonshire, Springs of
East Mesa and Gables at Brighton facilities, the Company acquired a third
party's interest in the Devonshire and Heritage facilities, the Company
acquired the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities from unaffiliated
third parties, the Company entered into an agreement to net lease the Park
Place facility, and the Company entered into a contract to manage the Island
at Lake Travis facility. In addition, the Company entered into a contract
effective July 1997 to manage the Kenwood facility. Accordingly, the Company
has only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company
and its prospects may be based. Although the Company has experienced revenue
and net income growth in recent periods, there can be no assurance that the
Company's operations will be profitable in the future or that the Company will
be able to integrate and oversee successfully the combined entity. Failure to
integrate successfully the operations of its facilities and to implement the
Company's operating and growth strategy could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's net revenue and earnings. See "Selected Financial Data" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
 
DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND SKILLED PERSONNEL
 
  The Company depends significantly on the continued services of Mark J.
Schulte, its President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of his services
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. The Company also depends on its ability
to continue to attract and retain management personnel who will be responsible
for the day-to-day operations of its senior and assisted living facilities. If
the Company is unable to hire qualified management personnel to operate its
facilities, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected. See "Management."
 
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
  Following the Offering, PGI will beneficially own approximately 45.8% of the
outstanding Common Stock and executive officers and directors of the Company
as a group will beneficially own approximately 49.4% of the outstanding Common
Stock. PGI and the Company's executive officers and directors are therefore in
the position to significantly influence the election of the directors of the
Company and the management and operations of the Company. Three of the
Company's seven directors are affiliates of PGI or employees of the Company
and four of the Company's directors are independent directors who are neither
affiliates of PGI nor employees of the Company. PGI is party to a Voting
Agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to vote all of its shares of Common
Stock at any meeting at which directors are elected in favor of the election
of independent directors so that after such election, if such persons are
elected, there will be at least four independent directors. The Voting
Agreement will continue in effect until the earlier of May 7, 2000 and the
date PGI first owns less than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock. See
"Certain Transactions--Voting Agreement." The concentration of Common Stock
ownership in PGI may have a limiting effect on the price and trading volume of
the Common Stock and may inhibit changes in control of the Company. See
"Principal Stockholders."
 
COMPETITION
 
  The long-term care industry is highly competitive, and the Company believes
that the senior and assisted living segment, in particular, will become even
more competitive in the future. The Company will be competing
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
with numerous other companies providing similar services such as home health
care agencies, other senior and assisted living providers, retirement
communities and convalescent centers. In general, regulatory and other
barriers to entry in the senior and assisted living industry are not
substantial. In pursuing its business and growth strategy, the Company expects
to face competition in its efforts to develop, acquire and lease facilities.
Some of the Company's present and potential competitors are significantly
larger and have, or may obtain, greater financial resources than the resources
available to the Company. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not encounter increased competition that could limit its ability
to attract residents or expand its business or otherwise have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, if the development of new senior and assisted living facilities
outpaces demand for those facilities in certain markets, such markets may
become saturated. Such an oversupply of facilities could cause the Company to
experience decreased occupancy rates, depressed margins and lower operating
results. See "Business--Competition."
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
  The Company's senior and assisted living facilities are subject to federal,
state and local regulation and licensing by state and local health and social
service agencies and other regulatory authorities, which requirements vary
from state to state. Senior and assisted living facilities in some states are
subject to periodic survey or inspection by governmental authorities. In
certain states, where the Company operates and where the Company may operate
in the future, the Company may be unable to provide certain higher levels of
senior care services without obtaining the appropriate licenses, if
applicable. In addition, some states have adopted certificate of need or
similar laws applicable to assisted living and nursing facilities which
generally require that the appropriate state agency approve certain
acquisitions or capital expenditures and determine that a need exists for
certain new bed additions or new services. Many states have placed a
moratorium on granting certificates of need or otherwise stated their intent
not to grant approval for such expenditures. To the extent certificates of
need or other similar approvals are required for expansion of Company
operations, such expansion could be adversely affected by the failure or
inability to obtain the necessary approvals or possible delays in obtaining
such approvals.
 
  Although the Company currently does not participate in the Medicare or
Medicaid programs, the hospitals and other health care providers with which it
has affiliations do participate in those programs, and the Company may
participate in the Medicare program at the skilled nursing facility to be
constructed at the Devonshire facility. In the State of Washington, the
Company is paid for services it provides to 8 residents (as of September 30,
1997) by the Department of Social and Health Services of the State of
Washington. Some portion of such funds are received by such department from
the federal Medicaid program. Accordingly, the Park Place facility is subject
to laws applicable to state governmental contractors receiving federal funds.
Also, most of the Company's residents are eligible for Medicare benefits.
Therefore, certain aspects of the Company's business are and will be subject
to federal and state laws and regulations which govern financial and other
arrangements between and among health care providers, suppliers and vendors.
These laws prohibit certain direct and indirect payments and fee-splitting
arrangements designed to induce or encourage the referral of patients to, or
the recommendation of, a particular provider or other entity or person for
medical products and services. These laws include, but are not limited to, the
federal "anti-kickback law" which prohibits, among other things, the offer,
payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for the
referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. The Office of the Inspector
General of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of
Justice and other federal agencies interpret these statutes liberally and
enforce them aggressively. Congress and state legislatures have proposed
legislation that would significantly expand the government's involvement in
curtailing fraud and abuse and increase the monetary penalties for violation
of these provisions. Violation of these laws can result in, among other
things, loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties for individuals and
entities and exclusion of health care providers or suppliers from
participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs.
 
  In addition, although the Company is not a Medicare or Medicaid provider or
supplier, it is subject to these laws because (i) the state laws typically
apply regardless of whether Medicare or Medicaid payments are at
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
issue, (ii) the Company plans to build and operate a skilled nursing facility
at its Devonshire facility and may in the future establish licensed home
health agencies which may participate in Medicare, (iii) as required under
some state licensure laws, or for the convenience of its residents, some of
the Company's senior and assisted living facilities maintain contracts with
hospitals and other health care providers, including pharmacies, home health
agencies and hospices, through which the health care providers make their
health care items or services (some of which may be covered by Medicare or
Medicaid) available to facility residents, and (iv) the contract between the
Park Place facility and the State of Washington Department of Social and
Health Services for the provision of services to eight residents is funded in
part by the federal Medicaid program. There can be no assurance that such laws
will be interpreted in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company.
 
  The success of the Company will depend in part upon its ability to satisfy
applicable regulations and requirements and to procure and maintain required
licenses as the regulatory environment for senior and assisted living
facilities evolves. There can be no assurance that federal, state or local
laws or regulatory procedures which might adversely affect the Company will
not be imposed or expanded. Any failure by the Company to comply with
applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business--Governmental Regulation."
 
ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
 
  Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
held liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or
toxic substances that could be located on, in or under such property. Such
laws and regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or
operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or
toxic substances. In addition, the Company's facilities are subject to laws
relating to the disposal of biohazardous waste. The costs of any required
remediation or removal of these substances could be substantial, and the
liability of an owner or operator as to any affected property is generally not
limited under such laws and regulations and could exceed the property's value
and the aggregate assets of the owner or operator. In connection with the
ownership or operation of its facilities, the Company could be liable for
these remediation costs or fines. As a result, the presence, with or without
the Company's knowledge, of hazardous or toxic substances at any property held
or operated by the Company, or acquired or operated by the Company in the
future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
 
LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
 
  The services provided by the Company subject it to significant liability
risks. In recent years, the senior and assisted living industry has
experienced an increase in the number of lawsuits alleging negligence and
other legal theories, many of which involve significant legal costs and
substantial claims. The Company has secured insurance policies in amounts and
with such coverage as it deems appropriate for its operations. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be able to continue to obtain
sufficient liability insurance coverage in the future or that such coverage
will be available on acceptable terms. A successful claim in excess of the
Company's coverage or not covered by the Company's insurance could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Claims against the Company, regardless of their merit
or outcome, may involve significant legal costs and require management to
devote considerable time which would otherwise be utilized in the operation of
the Company. See "Business--Insurance."
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 9,175,000 shares of
Common Stock outstanding (9,475,000 shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full). Of these shares, 7,175,000 shares (or a maximum
of 7,475,000 shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in
full) will be freely tradeable without restriction or limitation under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except for any
shares owned by "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act (including 2,500,000 of the shares
owned by PGI). The remaining 2,000,000 shares are "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144 and are held by PGI and
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
management of the Company. PGI has issued an exchangeable note having a
principal amount of $20.0 million and a term of five years (the "Exchangeable
Note") to an unaffiliated third party (the "Noteholder"), the repayment of
which is secured by the pledge of 1,370,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company held by PGI. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Note, the
Noteholder will have the right, commencing on November 15, 1998, and
thereafter on certain dates through maturity, to exchange specified portions
of the outstanding principal amount of the Exchangeable Note, plus the accrued
interest thereon, for shares of the Common Stock of the Company held by PGI,
at the exchange rates specified therein. See "Certain Transactions--
Exchangeable Note Transaction." The Company, its directors and executive
officers, certain of its key employees and PGI have agreed (the "lock-up
agreement") with the Underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell
or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, any options to purchase
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock for a period of 90 days after the date of this Prospectus (the
"lock-up period") without the prior written consent of Friedman, Billings,
Ramsey & Co., Inc. ("FBR"). After expiration of the lock-up period, PGI will
be entitled to certain demand and incidental registration rights with respect
to its shares that constitute "restricted securities." If PGI, by exercising
its demand registration rights, causes a large number of shares to be
registered and sold in the public market, or if PGI sells, subject to
applicable Rule 144 limitations, a large number of the shares it owns, such
sales could have an adverse effect on the market price for the Common Stock.
Further, the Company intends to register 830,000 shares of Common Stock which
will be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option programs.
Sales of substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock in the public market
after the Offering or the perception that such sales could occur could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the Company's
ability to raise equity. See "Management--Stock Incentive Plan," "Description
of Capital Stock--Registration Rights Agreement," "Shares Eligible for Future
Sale" and "Underwriting."
 
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
  After completion of the Offering, the market price of the Common Stock could
be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors and
events, including the liquidity of the market for the shares of Common Stock,
variations in the Company's operating results, changes in earnings estimates
by securities analysts, publicity regarding the industry or the Company and
the adoption of new statutes or regulations (or changes in the interpretation
of existing statutes or regulations) affecting the health care industry in
general or the senior and assisted living industry in particular. In addition,
the stock market in recent years has experienced broad price and volume
fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of the shares of Common Stock.
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated
By-laws, as well as Delaware corporate law, contain certain provisions that
could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to
acquire, or discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of
the Company. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors
might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Common Stock. Certain of
these provisions allow the Company to issue, without stockholder approval,
preferred stock having rights senior to those of the Common Stock. Other
provisions impose various procedural and other requirements, including advance
notice and super-majority voting provisions, that could make it more difficult
for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. In addition, the
Company's Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of which
serves for a staggered three-year term, which may make it more difficult for a
third party to gain control of the Board of Directors. As a Delaware
corporation, the Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended, which, in general, prevents an "interested
stockholder" (defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a
corporation's outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a "business
combination" (as defined therein) for three years following the date such
person became an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are
satisfied. Pursuant to a Board resolution adopted at the time of formation of
the Company, the Section 203 limits do not apply to any "business combination"
between the Company and PGI. See "Description of Capital Stock."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock offered
hereby are approximately $31.1 million (approximately $35.9 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), after deducting the
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable
by the Company. Approximately $0.2 million of such net proceeds will be used
to pay a fee for financial advisory and related services rendered in
connection with the Offering. Simultaneously with the completion of the
Offering, the Company expects to use $20.0 million of such net proceeds to
repay outstanding indebtedness under its $20.0 million revolving credit
facility with LaSalle, which bears interest at the prime rate plus one percent
per annum (9.5% as of December 18, 1997) and which terminates upon the
completion of the Offering. In addition, the Company may use approximately
$4.5 million to finance the purchase of investment securities expected to be
required to secure the Company's obligations under the lease with respect to
Harbor Village. The net proceeds not used to either repay indebtedness under
the LaSalle credit facility or to fund such deposit are approximately $6.4
million (approximately $11.2 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full). Such amount will be used to finance a portion of
the future acquisitions and developments of senior and assisted living
facilities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pending
such uses described above, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds in
short-term, interest-bearing securities or certificates of deposit. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Business--Business and
Growth Strategy."

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock and currently plans to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the
growth of the Company's business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments
of any cash dividends in the future will depend on the financial condition,
results of operations and capital requirements of the Company as well as other
factors deemed to be relevant by the Board of Directors. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Liquidity and Capital Resources."

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                  OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Data," the Combined Financial Statements of the Original Facilities
and Notes thereto and the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of
the Company and Notes thereto, each appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Historical results as set forth herein are not necessarily indicative of
future results from operations.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Company operates 11 senior and assisted living facilities containing a
total of 2,350 units as of December 18, 1997. Four of such facilities are
owned by the Company, five facilities are leased by the Company and two
facilities (one of which is owned by PGI) are managed by Brookdale pursuant to
management contracts. The Company's senior and assisted living facilities
offer residents a supportive, "home-like" setting as well as assistance with
certain activities of daily living. By providing residents a range of service
options as their needs change, the Company seeks to achieve greater continuity
of care, enabling seniors to age in place and thereby maintain their residency
for a longer time period. The ability to allow residents to age in place is
beneficial to Brookdale's residents as well as their families who are burdened
with care decisions for their elderly relatives.
 
  The Company currently plans to acquire or lease approximately four to six
facilities per year containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,200
units, and to commence development of two to three new facilities per year
containing approximately 220 units each in major urban and suburban areas of
major metropolitan markets. The Company anticipates that it will use a
combination of cash on hand, existing debt commitments, net proceeds from the
Offering, additional equity financing and debt financing, lease transactions
and cash generated from operations to fund its acquisition and development
activity. In order to achieve its growth plans, the Company will be required
to obtain a substantial amount of additional financing. If available, the
Company may use long-term, tax-exempt bonds to finance the acquisition and
renovation of existing facilities and the development of new facilities. There
can be no assurance that future financing or lease transactions will be
available as needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. A lack of funds may
require the Company to delay all or some of its acquisition plans and
development projects. See "Risk Factors--Future Acquisition and Lease Risks;
Potential Difficulties of Integration," "--Development and Construction
Risks," and "--Need for Additional Financing" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
 
  The Company derives its revenues from resident fees and management fees. In
the future, the Company may derive revenue from development fees. Resident
fees typically are paid monthly by residents, their families or other
responsible parties. The Company estimates that approximately 99.6% of the
Company's revenue has been derived from private pay sources. Management
services income consists of management fees which typically range from 3.0% to
5.0% of a managed facility's total gross revenues. Resident fees and
management fees are recognized as revenues when services are provided. The
Company does not receive management fees from facilities that it owns and
leases.
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
  The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following categories:
(i) facility operating expenses, which include labor, food, marketing and
other direct facility expenses and real estate taxes; (ii) general and
administrative expenses, which primarily include corporate headquarters and
other overhead costs; (iii) lease payments; and (iv) depreciation and
amortization.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
 
  For the period ended September 30, 1996, results reflect operations of the
Hallmark, Heritage and Devonshire facilities. For the period ended September
30, 1997, results reflect operations of the Hallmark, Heritage, Devonshire,
Springs of East Mesa and Gables at Brighton facilities through May 7, 1997 and
all of the Company's facilities except The Gables at Farmington thereafter.
 
 
  Revenue. Total revenue increased by $11.5 million, or 68.1%, to $28.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the same
period in 1996. Of this increase, approximately $1.4 million (or an increase
of 8.2%) relates to increased resident fees at the properties that have been
operated for both respective periods which were the Original Facilities. The
remainder of the increase, or approximately $10.1 million, relates
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
to revenue of the Springs of East Mesa, Gables at Brighton, Hawthorn Lakes,
Edina Park Plaza and Park Place facilities (the "New Facilities").
 
  Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $13.7 million, or
110.7%, to $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 when
compared to the same period in 1996. Facility operating expenses increased
$6.2 million, or 71.2%, to $14.8 million primarily due to the inclusion of the
New Facilities. From the commencement of operations on May 7, 1997 through
September 30, 1997, the Company managed its facilities and, accordingly, did
not pay any property management fees, but incurred general and administrative
expenses of approximately $1.1 million. Lease expense increased $7.2 million
due to the inclusion of the Springs of East Mesa, Gables at Brighton, Hallmark
and Park Place facilities.
 
  Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $307,000 or 10.2%, to
$2.7 million primarily due to the sale and lease-back of the Hallmark Facility
on December 27, 1996. Prior to this date, the Company owned and, accordingly,
recorded depreciation relating to this facility. The decrease in depreciation
and amortization due to the sale and lease-back of the Hallmark Facility was
slightly offset by an increase in depreciation associated with the purchase of
the Edina Park Plaza and Hawthorn Lakes facilities (the "Acquired Facilities")
on May 7, 1997.
 
  Interest and financing fees decreased approximately $778,000, or 22.0%, to
$2.8 million primarily due to the sale and lease-back of the Hallmark
facility. As a result of the sale and lease-back of such facility on December
27, 1996, it was no longer encumbered by the debt. This decrease was slightly
offset by the assumption of debt of certain of the Acquired Facilities in
connection with the purchase of these properties. Interest income increased
approximately $300,000, or 178.6%, to $468,000 due to an increase in average
cash balances. Property management fee--affiliate decreased approximately
$465,000, or 66.9%, to $230,000 due to the elimination of all management fees
charged to the Company once the Company commenced operations on May 7, 1997.
 
  Net Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net income
decreased approximately $969,000, or 95.9%, to net income of $41,000 when
compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to an
increase in total expenses partially offset by an increase in total revenue of
the Company.
 
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
  For these periods, results reflect operations of the Hallmark, Heritage and
Devonshire facilities.
 
  Revenue. Resident fees revenue increased approximately $1.5 million, or
6.8%, to $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to a
6.4% increase in average monthly revenue per unit and a 1.1% increase in
occupancy percentage from the year ended December 31, 1995 to the year ended
December 31, 1996. The occupancy rate for the Original Facilities during the
year ended December 31, 1996 was 99.2% as compared to 98.1% during the year
ended December 31, 1995. The average monthly revenue per unit increased by
$129 per unit to $2,144 per unit for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to $2,015 per occupied unit for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
  Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses decreased approximately
$447,000, or 3.4%, to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996
primarily due to more efficient operations at the Original Facilities and
economies of scale created by the increase in occupancy and revenue. This was
evidenced by the decrease in these expenses as a percentage of revenue to
54.6% for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to 60.4% for the year
ended December 31, 1995. In addition, property management fees (such
management fees, which were paid to PGI, have not been paid since the IPO and
will not be paid in the future) decreased approximately $513,000, or 35.6%,
due primarily to a reduction of the Hallmark facility's management fees,
effective January 1, 1996, from 5.0% of net operating income to 3.0%.
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately $775,000, or
20.8%, to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to
amortization of deferred marketing fees of approximately $591,000 in 1995
related to the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities that became fully
amortized in 1995 and certain furniture and equipment of the Devonshire
facility that was fully depreciated in 1995, representing a depreciation
expense of approximately $215,000 in 1995, and was partially offset by an
increase in depreciable assets at each of the Original Facilities.
 
  Interest and financing fees expense decreased approximately $1.1 million, or
16.7%, to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to
the refinancing of the Hallmark facility's mortgage payable at the end of
1995. This refinancing resulted in savings of approximately $594,000 as the
new note bears a fixed rate of interest of 7.265% per annum whereas the old
note accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, the interest rate on the old note ranged from 8.75%
to 9.0%. In addition, the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities experienced
lower interest rates on their variable rate bonds during the year ended
December 31, 1996 than during the year ended December 31, 1995, which resulted
in additional savings of approximately $292,000. Interest rates on these bonds
(exclusive of credit enhancement and other fees) averaged approximately 3.4%
for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to an average rate of
approximately 3.9% for the year ended December 31, 1995. These decreases in
interest expense were slightly offset by increased financing fees associated
with the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities' bonds for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
 
  Income (Loss) Before Minority Interest and Net Income (Loss). Income before
minority interest increased approximately $3.8 million and net income
decreased by approximately $1.1 million to approximately $2.4 million and $1.6
million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to a loss
before minority interest and net income of $1.4 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to an
increase in operating revenue and a decrease in operating expenses, offset as
described above by the extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.3
million on the Hallmark facility in the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
  For these periods, results reflect operations of the Hallmark, Heritage and
Devonshire facilities.
 
  Revenue. Resident fees revenue increased approximately $6.7 million, or
44.3%, to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Of this
increase, $4.9 million related to a full year of operations at the Hallmark
facility during the year ended December 31, 1995 versus only seven months
during the year ended December 31, 1994, while the remainder of this increase
was primarily due to increases in average monthly revenue per unit and
occupancy rates at the Original Facilities for the year ended December 31,
1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. Occupancy rates for the
Original Facilities during the year ended December 31, 1995 increased 2.5% to
98.1% from 95.6% during the year ended December 31, 1994. The average monthly
revenue per unit increased by $283 per unit, to $2,015 per occupied unit, for
the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to $1,732 per unit for the year
ended December 31, 1994.
 
  Operating Expenses. Facility operating expenses increased approximately $2.0
million, or 17.6%, to $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995
primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in facility operating expenses at
the Hallmark facility due to a full year of operations versus only seven
months during the year ended December 31, 1994. Real estate taxes increased
approximately $120,000, or 13.4%, to $1.0 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 again due to a full year of taxes being expensed for the Hallmark
facility. Real estate taxes at both the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities
were consistent from year to year. Property management fees (such management
fees, which were paid to PGI, have not been paid since the IPO and will not be
paid in the future) increased approximately $327,000, or 44.0%, to $1.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to a full year of
fees assessed at the Hallmark facility and increased revenues at the
Devonshire and the Heritage facilities. However, the Original Facilities were
run more efficiently and economies of scale created by the increase in
occupancy and revenue are evidenced by the reduction of these expenses as a
percentage of revenue decreasing to 60.4% for the year ended December 31, 1995
from 74.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $435,000, or
13.2%, to $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Of this increase,
approximately $511,000 related to a full year of depreciation at the Hallmark
facility and $121,000 related to an increase of depreciable assets at the
Original Facilities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of
$197,000 in the amortization of deferred marketing costs at the Heritage
facility that became fully amortized in mid-1995.
 
  Interest and financing fees expense increased 57.5%, or $2.3 million, to
$6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Of this increase,
approximately $1.7 million was due to 12 months of interest expense at the
Hallmark facility during the year ended December 31, 1995 versus only seven
months during the year ended December 31, 1994. In addition, approximately
$612,000 of additional interest expense relating to the variable-rate bonds
that encumber both the Devonshire and the Heritage facilities was recognized
in the year ended December 31, 1995 due to increased interest rates. Interest
rates on the bonds (exclusive of credit enhancement and other fees) averaged
3.9% during the year ended December 31, 1995 versus 2.9% during the year ended
December 31, 1994. The Devonshire and the Heritage facilities also realized an
increase in financing fees during the year ended December 31, 1995 as a
standard fee of 1.35% of the outstanding bond balance was imposed, which
created a $135,000 increase in financing fees from the prior year. The above
mentioned increases were partially offset by a $117,000 reduction in interest
expense related to a note payable to an affiliate that was paid off during the
year ended December 31, 1994.
 
  In December 1995, the owner of the Hallmark facility repaid its original
mortgage note from the proceeds of a new note at a discount of approximately
$3.3 million, which was recognized as an extraordinary gain on the
extinguishment of debt.
 
  Income (Loss) Before Minority Interest and Net Income (Loss). Loss before
minority interest decreased approximately $2.0 million to approximately $1.4
million and net income increased approximately $4.9 million to $2.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to a loss before minority
interest and net loss of $3.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the
year ended December 31, 1994 primarily due to an extraordinary gain on the
extinguishment of the mortgage on the Hallmark facility and increased revenues
at the Original Facilities, both described above. Partially offsetting the
extraordinary gain and increase in operating revenue was an increase in
operating expenses, as described above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  On May 7, 1997, the Company completed the IPO of 4,500,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.01 par value per share, at $11.50 per share. The underwriters of the
IPO exercised their over-allotment option, and on June 3, 1997, the Company
sold an additional 675,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $11.50 per
share. The proceeds from such IPO (including the exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option), net of related underwriting discounts and commissions
and offering costs, totaled approximately $51.4 million. The Company used
approximately $42.1 million of such net proceeds to fund various transactions
or deposits completed or made in connection with the IPO. The remaining net
proceeds have been used to finance a portion of future acquisitions and
developments of senior and assisted living facilities and for working capital
and general corporate purposes.
 
  The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be
approximately $31.1 million (approximately $35.9 million if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full), after deducting the underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the
Company. Approximately $0.2 million of such net proceeds will be used to pay a
fee for financial advisory and related services rendered in connection with
the Offering. Simultaneously with the completion of the Offering, the Company
expects to use $20.0 million of the net proceeds to repay outstanding
indebtedness under its $20.0 million revolving credit facility with LaSalle,
which terminates upon the completion of the Offering. In addition, the Company
may use approximately $4.5 million to finance the purchase of investment
securities expected to be required to be used to secure the Company's
obligations under the lease with respect to Harbor Village. The net proceeds
not used to either repay indebtedness under the LaSalle credit facility or to
fund such deposit are
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
estimated to be approximately $6.4 million (approximately $11.2 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). Such amount will be
used to finance a portion of the future acquisitions and developments of
senior and assisted living facilities and for working capital and general
corporate purposes. Pending such uses described above, the Company intends to
invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing securities or
certificates of deposit.
 
  Cash and cash equivalents (which excludes cash-restricted of $3.9 million
and the letter of credit deposit of $11.7 million) increased $2.5 million to
$4.4 million at September 30, 1997 compared to September 30, 1996 primarily
due to cash remaining after the use of the IPO proceeds. The increases in net
cash provided by operating and financing activities were partially offset by
an increase in net cash used in investing activities.
 
  Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities decreased $3.2 million
to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
same period in 1996. The primary reasons for the net decreases in cash (used
in) provided by operating activities were the overall decrease in net income
as compared to the Predecessor Properties and the increase in the deferred tax
asset related to the book-tax difference in the carryover basis of the
Heritage and Devonshire facilities, partially offset by the decrease in the
prepaid rent asset due to prepayment at lease inception on December 27, 1996.
 
  Cash used in investing activities increased $46.7 million to $46.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996. The increase was primarily attributable to cash used in the acquisition
of the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza facilities and cash used to acquire
a third party's interest in the Heritage and Devonshire facilities.
 
  Net cash provided by financing activities increased $52.3 million to $46.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to proceeds received from the
IPO and the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment options. These
increases were partially offset by an initial cash deposit required to secure
the Company's obligations related to the credit enhancement for the tax-exempt
bonds for the Heritage and Devonshire facilities.
 
  The Company currently plans to acquire or lease four to six senior and
assisted living facilities per year containing an aggregate of approximately
800 to 1,200 units, and to commence development of two to three new facilities
per year containing approximately 220 units each in urban and suburban areas
of major metropolitan markets. The Company anticipates that new developments
will require eight to 10 months for pre-construction development, 12 to 14
months for construction and approximately 12 months after opening to achieve a
stabilized occupancy rate of approximately 95%. The total construction costs,
including construction period financing costs and operating deficits during
the lease-up period, for the 220-unit prototype are estimated to be
approximately $28.0 million, or approximately $127,000 per unit. The Company
anticipates that it will use a combination of cash on hand, net proceeds from
the Offering, additional equity financing and debt financing, lease
transactions and cash generated from operations to fund its acquisition and
development activities. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds
from the Offering, together with cash on hand, existing debt facilities and
commitments and anticipated financing, will be sufficient to fund its
acquisition and development plans for at least 12 months following completion
of the Offering. Therefore, in order to achieve its growth plans, the Company
will be required to obtain a substantial amount of additional financing. The
Company presently has no commitment, arrangement or understanding regarding
financing to fund the debt portion of the Company's acquisition and
development plans other than the $100.0 million commitment from Nomura. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing
necessary for its acquisition and development programs. See "Risk Factors--
Need for Additional Financing."
 
  As of September 30, 1997, the Company had $65.0 million of long-term
indebtedness in tax-exempt bonds with floating rates. The interest rates
(exclusive of credit enhancement and other fees) on such debt averaged 3.4%,
3.9% and 2.9% during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and 3.7% for the
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Such tax-exempt bonds contain covenants
requiring the facilities to maintain a minimum number of units for income
qualified residents. The Company may obtain similar bond financing for future
facilities. See "Risk Factors--Adverse Consequences of Indebtedness and Lease
Obligations; Floating Rate Debt."
 
  The Company is dependent on third-party financing for its acquisition and
development program. Any such financing obtained in the future is expected to
contain terms and conditions and representations and warranties that are
customary for such loans and is expected to contain financing covenants and
other restrictions that (i) require the Company to meet certain financial
tests and maintain certain amounts of funds in escrow, (ii) limit, among other
things, the ability of the Company to borrow additional funds, dispose of
assets and engage in mergers or other business combinations and (iii) restrict
the ability of the Company to operate competing facilities within certain
distances from mortgaged facilities. See "Risk Factors--Adverse Consequences
of Indebtedness and Lease Obligations; Floating Rate Debt." There can be no
assurance that financing for the Company's acquisition and development program
will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Moreover, to
the extent the Company acquires or leases facilities that do not generate
positive cash flow (after financing or lease costs, as applicable), the
Company may be required to seek additional capital for working capital and
liquidity purposes. See "Risk Factors--Need for Additional Financing."
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
 
  Resident fees from senior and assisted living facilities owned or leased by
the Company and management fees from facilities operated by the Company are
its primary sources of revenue. These revenues are affected by monthly
resident fee rates and facility occupancy rates. The rates charged for senior
and assisted living services are highly dependent upon local market conditions
and the competitive environment in which the facilities operate. Substantially
all of the Company's resident agreements have terms of approximately one year
and allow, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the monthly fees payable
thereunder, thereby enabling the Company to seek increases in monthly fees due
to inflation or other factors. Any such increase would be subject to market
and competitive conditions and could result in a decrease in occupancy at the
Company's facilities. The Company believes, however, that the short-term
nature of its resident agreements generally serves to reduce the risk to the
Company of the adverse effect of inflation. In addition, employee compensation
expense is a principal cost element of facility operations and is also
dependent upon local market conditions. There can be no assurance that
resident fees will increase or that costs will not increase due to inflation
or other causes. In addition, as of September 30, 1997, approximately $65.0
million in principal amount of the Company's indebtedness bore interest at
floating rates and future indebtedness may bear floating rate interest.
Inflation, and its impact on floating interest rates, could materially affect
the amount of interest payments due on such indebtedness. See "Risk Factors--
Competition" and "--Adverse Consequences of Indebtedness and Lease
Obligations; Floating Rate Debt."

OVERVIEW
 
  Brookdale provides senior and assisted living services to the elderly
through its facilities located in urban and suburban areas of major
metropolitan markets. The Company operates 11 senior and assisted living
facilities containing a total of 2,350 units which, as of September 30, 1997,
were approximately 97% occupied. The Company owns four of such facilities,
leases five facilities and manages two other facilities pursuant to management
contracts. With facilities that contain an average of approximately 214 units,
the Company believes it is able to achieve economies of scale within its
facilities and provide senior and assisted living services in a more cost-
effective manner. The Company plans to acquire or lease approximately four to
six facilities per year containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,200
units, and to commence development of two or three new facilities per year
containing approximately 220 units each.
 
  The Company recently entered into a net lease for a facility located in
Farmington, Connecticut. The Company also entered into agreements to purchase
facilities located in West Palm Beach, Florida, Voorhees, New Jersey and
Chicago, Illinois. The closings of the West Palm Beach, Florida and Voorhees,
New Jersey facilities are expected to occur in December 1997. The closing of
the Chicago, Illinois facility is expected to occur prior to January 31, 1998.
There can be no assurance that any or all of such transactions will be
consummated in a timely manner if at all. The Company expects to assign the
purchase agreements for these facilities to unaffiliated third parties which
will acquire the facilities and in turn net lease them to the Company. The
Company has acquired development sites located in Austin, Texas and
Southfield, Michigan for the construction of facilities with approximately 220
units at each site and has commenced construction at the Austin, Texas site.
In addition, the Company has entered into agreements to acquire development
sites located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and Raleigh, North Carolina for the
construction of facilities with approximately 220 units at each site, the
closings of which are contingent upon the receipt of all necessary approvals
for the development of the respective sites and are expected to occur within
12 months following the completion of the Offering. The Company has also been
selected by Battery Park City Authority to be the developer and operator of a
senior and assisted living facility to be located in Battery Park City in New
York, New York. See "Risk Factors--Future Acquisition and Lease Risks;
Potential Difficulties of Integration," "--Development and Construction Risks"
and "--Need for Additional Financing."
 
  Brookdale's facilities are designed for middle to upper income residents who
desire an upscale residential environment providing the highest level of
quality, care and value. The Company's objective is to allow its residents to
age in place by providing them with a continuum of senior and assisted living
services. By providing residents a range of service options as their needs
change, Brookdale seeks to achieve a greater continuity of care, thereby
enabling seniors to maintain their residency for a longer time period. The
ability to allow residents to age in place is beneficial to Brookdale's
residents as well as their families who are burdened with care option
decisions for their elderly relatives. In addition to studio, one-bedroom and
two-bedroom units, the Company provides all residents with basic services,
such as meal service, 24-hour emergency response, housekeeping, concierge
services, transportation and recreational activities. For residents who
require additional supplemental care services, the Company provides assistance
with certain activities of daily living. The average age of Brookdale's
residents is approximately 82 years old, and many of these residents require
some level of assistance with their activities of daily living. The Company
intends to bring "in-house" as many of these services as practicable and has
established a program providing various levels and combinations of these
services called "Personally Yours"SM. The levels of care provided by the
Company to residents vary depending upon the licensure requirements of the
state in which the facility is located.

THE SENIOR AND ASSISTED LIVING INDUSTRY
 
  The senior and assisted living industry is a rapidly growing component of
the non-acute health care system for the elderly. The senior living industry
serves the needs of the elderly who benefit from living in a supportive
environment and may require or prefer occasional assistance with the
activities of daily living, and who no longer desire, or cannot maintain, an
independent lifestyle. It is estimated that 35% of the people over age 85
require assistance with at least one activity of daily living, such as
bathing, eating, personal hygiene, grooming and dressing.
 
  The rapid growth of the senior and assisted living industry is supported by
several significant trends, including the following:
 
  FAVORABLE DEMOGRAPHICS. The primary consumers of senior and assisted living
services are persons over age 65. This group represents one of the fastest
growing segments of the U.S. population. According to U.S. Bureau of the
Census data, the number of people in the U.S. age 65 and older increased by
more than 27% from 1981 to 1994, growing from 26.2 million to 33.2 million.
The segment of the population over 85 years of age, which comprises the
largest percentage of residents at senior care facilities, is projected to
increase by more than 40% between the years 1990 and 2000. Brookdale believes
that these trends, depicted in the graph below, will contribute to continued
strong demand for senior and assisted living services.

  CONSUMER PREFERENCE. The Company believes that senior and assisted living
facilities provide prospective residents and their families with an attractive
alternative to skilled nursing facilities, particularly those prospective
residents who do not require the level of care or institutional setting of
skilled nursing facilities. Senior and assisted living facilities, which are
generally furnished by residents, allow residents to age in place and preserve
their independence in a more residential setting. The Company believes these
factors result in a higher quality of life than that experienced in the more
institutional or clinical settings, such as skilled nursing facilities.

  COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE. The annual per resident cost for senior and
assisted living care is significantly less than the annual per resident cost
for skilled nursing care. The Company believes that the cost of senior and
assisted living care (which includes housing and meal preparation) compares
favorably with home health care when the costs associated with housing and
meal preparation are added to the costs of home health care. Pricing pressure
is also forcing skilled nursing facilities to shift their focus toward
providing more intense levels of care enabling them to charge higher fees,
thus adding to the shortage of facilities providing less intensive care. The
rapid growth of the elderly population coupled with continuing constraints on
the supply and availability of long term care beds is leading to a continued
shortage of long term care beds for the elderly, as the table below
illustrates.

                                    [GRAPH]
 
  CHANGING FAMILY DYNAMICS. As a result of the growing number of two-income
families, many children are not able to care for elderly parents in their own
homes. Two-income families are, however, better able to provide financial
support for elderly parents. In addition, other factors, such as the growth in
the divorce rate and single-parent households, as well as the increasing
geographic dispersion of families, have contributed to the growing inability
of children to care for aging parents in the home.
 
BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGY
 
  The Company's business and growth strategy is based on the following key
elements:
 
  ACQUIRE AND LEASE EXISTING SENIOR AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES. The
Company believes that significant opportunities exist to take advantage of the
fragmented senior and assisted living industry by selectively acquiring or
leasing existing facilities. The Company's acquisition strategy will focus
primarily on facilities that are designed or can be repositioned by the
Company, by improving or enhancing available services and amenities, for
middle to upper-income private pay residents. Acquisitions will primarily
consist of large facilities, similar to the Company's current facilities that
contain an average of approximately 214 units, located in urban and suburban
areas of major metropolitan markets. See "--Acquisitions and Development" and
"Risk Factors--Future Acquisition and Lease Risks; Potential Difficulties of
Acquisition."
 
  DEVELOP THE BROOKDALE PROTOTYPE FACILITY IN TARGETED MARKETS. The Company
intends to leverage its development expertise and construct its prototype
facility in selected sites located in urban and suburban areas of major
metropolitan markets. The Company's prototype facility, which is flexible and
can be adapted to the specific requirements of individual markets and site
requirements, contains 220 units, but can be constructed to accommodate
between 150 and 250 units. The prototype offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom
and two-bedroom units and common areas providing premium amenities. The
Company intends to begin development of two to three facilities in each of the
next five years and anticipates that each development will require
approximately 20 to 24 months from pre-development to completion of
construction. See "--Acquisitions and Development" and "Risk Factors--
Development and Construction Risks."
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
  UTILIZE TAX-EXEMPT BOND FINANCING. The Company intends to utilize long-term,
tax-exempt bond financing, when available, to finance the acquisition and
renovation of existing senior and assisted facilities and the development of
new facilities. The cost benefit of tax-exempt bond financing, which can be a
low cost source of funds in certain circumstances, is partially offset in
certain cases by the potential limit on the Company's ability to increase
prices to Qualified Residents at facilities subject to such bond financing to
the extent such increases affect the ability of the Company to attract and
retain such Qualified Residents. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had
$65.0 million of long-term indebtedness in tax-exempt bonds with floating
rates. The interest rates (exclusive of credit enhancement and other fees) on
such debt averaged 3.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. See
"Risk Factors--Adverse Consequences of Indebtedness and Lease Obligations;
Floating Rate Debt."
 
  PROVIDE ACCESS TO A FULL CONTINUUM OF SENIOR AND ASSISTED LIVING SERVICES.
The Company's strategy is to provide access to a full continuum of senior and
assisted living services that allows its residents to age in place. These
services are provided either by the Company or by outside services or
agencies. It is the Company's strategy to increase the availability of
additional services and to capture the incremental revenue generated by
providing these services through Company employees. In addition, one of
Brookdale's goals is to establish hospital or health care network affiliations
for each of its facilities. Hospital and health care network affiliations
provide for on-site physician and nursing services and facilitate the
provision of health care services and wellness programs to the Company's
residents. In order to offer residents an expanded range of care options, the
Company is presently developing an 82-bed skilled nursing facility on the
campus of the Devonshire facility. The Company may pursue the development of
additional skilled nursing facilities at its other facilities in selected
markets. See "Risk Factors--Development and Construction Risks," "Use of
Proceeds" and "--Company Operations-- Hospital and Health Care Network
Affiliations."
 
  UTILIZE SOPHISTICATED MARKETING PROGRAMS TO MAINTAIN HIGH OCCUPANCY RATES.
The Company utilizes sophisticated marketing programs to achieve high
occupancy rates, which as of September 30, 1997 were approximately 97% for its
facilities. The Company believes that its programs will improve the occupancy
rates of facilities that the Company acquires or leases in the future. The
Company's marketing programs are designed to create community awareness of the
Company, its facilities and its services, and to cultivate relationships with
referral sources such as health care providers, physicians, clergy, area
agencies for the elderly, home health agencies and social workers. In
addition, hospital affiliations have been successfully implemented by the
Company at three of its facilities, which provide referrals of prospective
residents. The Company believes that the success of its marketing programs is
demonstrated not only by its high occupancy rates, but also by the Company's
ability to maintain waiting lists at its facilities for prospective residents
who pay a deposit in order to be included on such lists. See "--Company
Operations--Marketing and Sales."
 
  UTILIZE OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE TO ENHANCE PROFITABILITY. The Company has
developed and implemented sophisticated management and operational procedures
resulting in strong operating margins and occupancy rates. These procedures
include securing national vendor contracts where feasible to ensure consistent
low pricing, implementing sophisticated budgeting and financial controls at
each facility and establishing standardized training and operations
procedures. The Company believes that the systematic implementation of its
management and operations policies will enable the Company to enhance the
financial performance of its existing and future facilities and continue to
improve the profitability of its stabilized facilities. See "Risk Factors--
Future Acquisition and Lease Risks; Potential Difficulties of Integration" and
"--Development and Construction Risks."
 
  EXPAND FACILITIES WHERE ECONOMICALLY ADVANTAGEOUS. The Company has found
that certain senior and assisted living facilities with stabilized occupancies
benefit from additions and expansions offering increased capacity, as well as
additional levels of service for higher acuity residents. Furthermore, the
expansion of existing facilities allows the Company to enhance its economies
of scale by increasing the revenue base at a facility while leveraging such
facility's existing infrastructure such as the laundry equipment and the
kitchen. In addition to the planned 82-bed skilled nursing facility on the
campus of the Devonshire facility, the Company is currently planning to expand
its Hawthorn Lakes facility in Vernon Hills, Illinois with an additional 57
units. See "Risk Factors--Development and Construction Risks."

SERVICES
 
  The Company's senior and assisted living facilities offer residents personal
support services and assistance with certain activities of daily living in a
supportive, home-like setting. Residents of the Company's facilities are
typically unable or choose not to live independently, but do not require the
24-hour nursing care provided in skilled nursing facilities. The Company's
service options are designed to meet residents' changing needs and to achieve
a continuity of care, enabling seniors to age in place and thereby maintain
their residency for a longer time period.
 
 BASIC CARE PROGRAM
 
  The basic care package, which is received by all residents, includes meal
service, housekeeping services within the resident's unit, social and
recreational activities, scheduled transportation to medical centers and
shopping, security, emergency call response, access to on-site medical
services and medical education and wellness programs.
 
 SUPPLEMENTAL CARE SERVICES
 
  In addition to the basic care services, the Company offers custom tailored
supplemental care services for residents who desire or need such services.
Optional supplemental care services include check-in services and shopping,
escort and companion services. Residents with cognitive or physical frailties
and higher level service needs are either accommodated with supplemental
services in their own units or, in certain facilities, are cared for in a more
structured and supervised environment on a separate wing or floor of the
facility with a dedicated staff and with separate dining rooms and activity
areas.
 
  The Company has also established a program providing various levels and
combinations of supplemental care services called "Personally Yours"SM. This
personal service program provides certain non-licensed services, such as
companion services, assistance with dressing and bathing, medication
reminders, check-in services, shopping and escort services. The Company plans
to expand its supplemental service offerings, where permitted, in order to
capture incremental revenue and enable its residents to remain in its
facilities longer. In addition, where practicable, the Company intends to
obtain licensure to provide licensed home health services to residents. At
present, many residents receive supplemental health care services from outside
third parties. The Company's ability to provide certain services depends on
licensure requirements of particular states. However, the Company's general
strategy is to provide assistance with activities of daily living subject to
state licensure limitations.
 
  Certain services, such as physician care, infusion therapy, physical and
speech therapy and other home health care services, are provided to many of
Brookdale's residents who need these services by third parties. The Company
assists residents in locating qualified providers for such health care
services.
 
COMPANY OPERATIONS
 
 OVERVIEW
 
  The Company continually reviews opportunities to expand the amount of
services it provides to its residents. To date, the Company has been able to
increase its monthly service fees on an annual basis and has experienced
increasing facility operating margins through a combination of the
implementation of efficient operating procedures and the economies of scale
associated with the size of its facilities. The Company's operating procedures
include securing national vendor contracts where appropriate to obtain
consistent low pricing, implementing sophisticated budgeting and financial
controls at each facility and establishing standardized training and
operations procedures. The Company believes that successful senior and
assisted living operators must combine health care, finance, hospitality,
marketing and real estate operations expertise.
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
  Brookdale has implemented intensive standards, policies and procedures
systems, including detailed staff manuals, which the Company believes have
contributed to Brookdale's facility operating margins. The Company has
centralized accounting, finance and other operating functions at its corporate
headquarters so that, consistent with its operating philosophy, facility-based
personnel focus on resident care and efficient operations. Headquarters staff
in Chicago, Illinois are responsible for: the establishment of Company-wide
policies and procedures relating to, among other things, resident care,
facility design and facility operations; billings and collections; accounts
payable; finance and accounting; development of employee training materials
and programs; marketing activities; the hiring and training of management and
other facility-based personnel; compliance with applicable local and state
regulatory requirements; and implementation of the Company's acquisition,
development and leasing plans.
 
 FACILITY STAFFING AND TRAINING
 
  Each facility has an Executive Director responsible for the day-to-day
operations of the facility, including quality of care, social services and
financial performance. Each Executive Director receives specialized training
from the Company. In addition, a portion of each Executive Director's
compensation is directly tied to the operating performance of the facility and
to the maintenance of high occupancy levels. The Company believes that the
quality and size of its facilities, coupled with its competitive compensation
philosophy, have enabled it to attract high-quality, professional
administrators. Each Executive Director is supported by a Resident Services
Director who is directly responsible for day-to-day care of the residents and
a Marketing Director who oversees marketing and community outreach programs.
Other key positions at each facility include the Food Service Director, the
Activities Director, the Housekeeping Director, the Engineering Director and
the Business Manager. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on Senior Management and
Skilled Personnel."
 
  The Company believes that quality of care and operating efficiency can be
maximized by direct resident and staff contact. Employees involved in resident
care, including the administrative staff, are trained in the support and care
needs of the residents and emergency response techniques. The Company has
adopted formal training and evaluation procedures to help ensure quality care
for its residents. The Company has extensive policy and procedure manuals for
each department and holds ongoing training sessions for management and staff
at each site. See "Risk Factors--Difficulties of Managing Rapid Growth."
 
 QUALITY ASSURANCE
 
  The Company maintains quality assurance programs at each of its facilities
through its corporate headquarters staff. The Company's quality assurance
program is designed to achieve a high degree of resident and family member
satisfaction with the care and services provided by the Company. The Company's
quality control measures include, among other things, facility inspections
conducted by corporate staff on at least a monthly basis. These inspections
cover: the appearance of the exterior and grounds; the appearance and
cleanliness of the interior; the professionalism and friendliness of staff;
resident care plans; the quality of activities and the dining program;
observance of residents in their daily living activities; and compliance with
government regulations.
 
  The Company's quality control measures also include the survey of residents
and family members on a regular basis to monitor the quality of services
provided to residents. The survey process begins with a visitor's survey sent
one week following a potential resident's visit to a facility to ascertain his
or her opinions and initial impressions. Detailed annual written surveys and
exit surveys are used to appraise and monitor the level of satisfaction of
residents and their families with facility operations and services.
 
  In order to foster a sense of community as well as to respond to residents'
desires, at each facility the Company has initiated the establishment of a
resident council, an advisory committee elected by the residents, that meets
monthly with the Executive Director of the facility. Separate resident
committees also exist for food service, activities, marketing and hospitality.
These committees promote resident involvement and satisfaction and enable
facility management to be more responsive to the residents' needs and desires.
 
 MARKETING AND SALES
 
  The Company's marketing strategy is intended to create awareness of the
Company and its services among potential residents and their family members
and referral sources, such as hospital discharge planners, physicians,
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
clergy, area agencies for the elderly, skilled nursing facilities, home health
agencies and social workers. Brookdale's marketing staff develops overall
strategies for promoting the Company and monitors the success of the Company's
marketing efforts. Each facility has a Director of Marketing who oversees the
facility's marketing and outreach programs and supervises the on-site
marketing staff and move-in coordinators. Besides direct contacts with
prospective referral sources, the Company also relies on print advertising,
yellow pages advertising, direct mail, signage and special events, such as
grand openings for new facilities, health fairs and community receptions. In
addition, resident referral programs have been established and are promoted at
each facility. See "Risk Factors--Competition."
 
 HOSPITAL AND HEALTH CARE NETWORK AFFILIATIONS
 
  Another key element in the Company's strategy is to establish affiliations
between Brookdale's facilities and hospitals and health care networks. The
Hallmark and the Heritage facilities are affiliated with Saint Joseph Health
Centers and Hospital and Holy Family Hospital, respectively, pursuant to
agreements with the respective hospitals. Both agreements grant the hospitals
the right to lease space from the Company at the respective facilities and
provide that the hospitals will maintain centers in the facilities to make
services available to facility residents. Each hospital pays rent for its
leased space, and the Company compensates the hospitals for making the
services they render available at the facilities. The annual amounts paid by
the hospitals pursuant to the rental arrangements at the Hallmark and the
Heritage facilities are approximately equal to the annual amounts paid by such
facilities to such respective hospitals pursuant to the applicable
compensation arrangements. The agreement regarding the Heritage facility
terminates in 1998 and the agreement regarding the Hallmark facility
terminates in 1999, but will be automatically extended unless either the
hospital or the Company gives notice of termination. Although not subject to a
written agreement, the Devonshire facility has an affiliation with Good
Samaritan Hospital on terms similar to the agreements regarding the Hallmark
and the Heritage facilities. The Company intends to arrange hospital and
health care network affiliations for its other facilities and those that it
acquires, develops or leases in the future. Hospital and health care network
affiliations provide for on-site physician and nursing services and facilitate
the provision of health care services and wellness programs to the Company's
residents and provide the Company with a referral source.
 
ACQUISITIONS, LEASES AND DEVELOPMENT
 
  The Company evaluates markets for acquisition, lease and development
opportunities based on demographics and market studies. The Company's
acquisition, lease and development strategy will focus on the urban and
suburban areas of major metropolitan markets.
 
 ACQUISITIONS AND LEASES
 
  The Company currently expects to acquire or lease four to six facilities per
year containing an aggregate of approximately 800 to 1,200 units. In some
cases, the purchase contract for a facility may be assigned to an unaffiliated
third party which would acquire the facility and in turn net lease it to the
Company. The Company may acquire facilities as a means of entry to new markets
and may also seek to acquire facilities within its existing markets to gain
further market share and leverage its existing market awareness. Acquisitions
are expected to primarily consist of large facilities that are similar to the
Company's current facilities, which average approximately 214 units per
facility. In reviewing acquisition opportunities, the Company considers, among
other things, underlying demographics, facility location within its
neighborhood or community, the current reputation of the facility in the
marketplace and the ability of the Company to improve or enhance a facility's
available services and amenities. Further, the Company evaluates the
opportunity to improve or enhance services and operating results through the
implementation of the Company's standard operating procedures. See "Risk
Factors--Future Acquisition and Lease Risks; Potential Difficulties of
Integration" and "--Need for Additional Financing."
 
  The Company recently entered into a net lease for The Gables at Farmington,
a 173-unit facility in Farmington, Connecticut. The Company also entered into
agreements to purchase The Classic at West Palm Beach, a 296-unit facility in
West Palm Beach, Florida, The Brendenwood Retirement Community, a 149-unit
facility in Voorhees, New Jersey, and Harbor Village, a 276-unit facility in
Chicago, Illinois. The closings of
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
The Classic at West Palm Beach and The Brendenwood Retirement Community are
expected to occur in December 1997. The closing of Harbor Village is expected
to occur prior to January 31, 1998. There can be no assurance that any or all
of such transactions will be consummated in a timely manner if at all. The
Company expects to assign the purchase agreements for these facilities to
unaffiliated third parties which will acquire the facilities and in turn net
lease them to the Company. See "Risk Factors--Future Acquisition and Lease
Risks; Potential Difficulties of Integration."
 
 DEVELOPMENT
 
  The Company currently intends to commence the development of two to three
facilities per year. The Company's flexible prototype facility contains 220
units, but can be constructed to accommodate between 150 to 250 units. The
size of a particular facility will depend on site size, zoning and underlying
market characteristics. The Company's 220-unit prototype contains
approximately 220,000 square feet in a four-story building and contains a mix
of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. In addition to the living units,
the Company's prototype contains common areas for residents, including a
living room, library, billiards room, multi-purpose room, arts and crafts
room, exercise room, convenience store, beauty/barber shop, mail room, dining
room and private dining room. The Company anticipates that new developments
will require eight to 10 months for pre-construction development, 12 to 14
months for construction and approximately 12 months after opening to achieve
stabilized occupancy. The total construction costs, including construction
period financing costs and operating deficits during the lease-up period, for
the 220-unit prototype are estimated to be approximately $28.0 million, or
approximately $127,000 per unit.
 
  The Company evaluates markets in which to develop its prototype based on a
number of factors, including demographic profiles of both potential residents
and their adult children, existing competitors and lack of new entrants,
estimated market demand and zoning prospects. Site selection is based on
established criteria relating to land cost and conditions, visibility,
accessibility, immediate adjacencies, community perception and zoning
prospects. Full market feasibility studies, which include evaluations of all
potential competitors, extensive interviews with key community sources and
health care providers and demographic studies, are conducted for each site.
 
  The Company is presented with potential sites by independent brokers,
developers, health care organizations and financial institutions and through
internal site identification. If a site meets the Company's general market
criteria, then the Company will order a preliminary market study by an
independent third party. If the market study indicates that the site meets its
selection criteria, the Company will then conduct a more in-depth analysis of
the market to ensure there is a demonstrated need for senior and assisted
living services and that the site is appropriate in terms of location, size
and zoning. If the market and site meet all of the Company's selection
criteria, the property will be purchased for development. See "Risk Factors--
Development and Construction Risks" and "--Need for Additional Financing."
 
  The Company has acquired development sites located in Southfield, Michigan
and Austin, Texas for the construction of facilities with approximately 220
units at each site and has commenced construction at the Austin, Texas site.
In addition, the Company has entered into agreements to acquire development
sites located in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and Raleigh, North Carolina for the
construction of facilities with approximately 220 units at each site, the
closings of which are contingent upon the receipt of all necessary approvals
for the development of the respective sites and are expected to occur within
12 months following completion of the Offering. The Company has also been
selected by Battery Park City Authority to be the developer and operator of a
senior and assisted living facility to be located in Battery Park City in New
York, New York. The closings of the Company's purchases or ground lease of the
development sites is subject to certain customary conditions, including zoning
and other governmental approvals. Although the Company expects the
acquisitions or ground lease of the development sites to be consummated, there
can be no assurance that the conditions to closing such acquisitions or ground
lease will be satisfied in a timely manner, if at all. See "Risk Factors--
Development and Construction Risks."

COMPETITION
 
  The senior and assisted living industry is highly competitive and the
Company expects that it will become more competitive in the future. The
Company will continue to face competition from numerous local, regional and
national providers of senior and assisted living services. The Company will
compete with such providers primarily on the basis of cost, quality of care
and the array of services provided. The Company will also compete with
companies providing home based health care based on those factors as well as
the reputation, geographic location and physical appearance of facilities and
family preferences. Some of the Company's competitors operate on a not-for-
profit basis or as charitable organizations or have, or may obtain, greater
financial resources than those of the Company.
 
  Moreover, in the implementation of the Company's business and growth
strategy, the Company expects to face competition for the acquisition and
development of senior and assisted living facilities. Consequently, there can
be no assurance that the Company will not encounter increased competition in
the future which could limit its ability to attract residents or expand its
business and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations and prospects. See "Risk Factors--
Competition."
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
  Senior and assisted living facilities are subject to varying degrees of
federal, state and local regulation and licensing by local and state health
and social service agencies and other regulatory authorities. While
regulations and licensing requirements often vary significantly from state to
state, they typically address, among other things: personnel education,
training and records; facility services; physical plant specifications;
furnishing of resident units; food and housekeeping services; emergency
evacuation plans; and resident rights and responsibilities. In most states,
senior and assisted living facilities also are subject to state or local
building codes, fire codes and food service licensure or certification
requirements. Assisted living facilities may be subject to periodic survey or
inspection by governmental authorities. In certain states where the Company
operates and where the Company may operate in the future, the Company may be
unable to provide certain higher levels of assisted living services without
obtaining the appropriate licenses, if applicable. The Company's success will
depend in part on its ability to satisfy such regulations and requirements and
to acquire and maintain required licenses. The Company's operations could also
be adversely affected by, among other things, regulatory developments such as
revisions in licensing and certification standards.
 
  Some states have adopted certificate of need or similar laws applicable to
assisted living and nursing facilities which generally require that the
appropriate state agency approve certain acquisitions or capital expenditures
and determine whether a need exists for certain new bed additions or new
services. Certain states have placed a moratorium on granting certificates of
need or otherwise stated their intent not to grant approval for such
expenditures. To the extent certificates of need or other similar approvals
are required for expansion of Company operations, such expansion could be
adversely affected by the failure or inability to obtain the necessary
approvals or possible delays in obtaining such approvals.
 
  Although the Company currently does not participate in the Medicare or
Medicaid programs, the hospitals and other health care providers with which it
has affiliations do participate in those programs, and the Company may
participate in the Medicare program at the skilled nursing facility to be
constructed at the Devonshire facility. In the State of Washington, the
Company is paid for services it provides to 8 residents (as of September 30,
1997) by the Department of Social and Health Services of the State of
Washington. Some portion of such funds are received by such department from
the federal Medicaid program. Accordingly, the Park Place facility is subject
to laws applicable to state governmental contractors receiving federal funds.
Also, most of the Company's residents are eligible for Medicare benefits.
Therefore, certain aspects of the Company's business are and will be subject
to federal and state laws and regulations which govern financial and other
arrangements between and among health care providers, suppliers and vendors.
These laws prohibit certain direct and indirect payments and fee-splitting
arrangements designed to induce or encourage the referral of patients to, or
the recommendation of, a particular provider or other entity or person for
medical products and services. These laws include, but are not limited to, the
federal "anti-kickback law" which prohibits, among other things, the offer,
payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for the
referral of Medicare and Medicaid patients. The Office of the Inspector
General of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
of Justice and other federal agencies interpret these statutes liberally and
enforce them aggressively. Congress and state legislatures have proposed
legislation that would significantly expand the government's involvement in
curtailing fraud and abuse and increase the monetary penalties for violation
of these provisions. Violation of these laws can result in, among other
things, loss of licensure, civil and criminal penalties for individuals and
entities and exclusion of health care providers or suppliers from
participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs.
 
  In addition, although the Company is not a Medicare or Medicaid provider or
supplier, it is subject to these laws because (i) the state laws typically
apply regardless of whether Medicare or Medicaid payments are at issue, (ii)
the Company plans to build and operate a skilled nursing facility at its
Devonshire facility and may establish licensed home health agencies which are
intended to participate in Medicare, (iii) as required under some state
licensure laws, or for the convenience of its residents, some of the Company's
senior and assisted living facilities maintain contracts with hospitals and
other health care providers, including pharmacies, home health agencies and
hospices, through which the health care providers make their health care items
or services (some of which may be covered by Medicare or Medicaid) available
to facility residents, and (iv) the contract between the Park Place facility
and the State of Washington Department of Social and Health Services for the
provision of services to eight residents is funded in part by the federal
Medicaid program. There can be no assurance that such laws will be interpreted
in a manner consistent with the practices of the Company.
 
  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all places of public
accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. A number of additional federal, state and
local laws exist which also may require modifications to existing and planned
properties to create access to the properties by disabled persons. While the
Company believes that its facilities are substantially in compliance with
present requirements or are exempt therefrom, if required changes involve a
greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made on a more accelerated
basis than anticipated, additional costs would be incurred by the Company.
Further legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions with respect
to access by disabled persons, the costs of compliance with which could be
substantial.
 
  The Company and its activities are subject to zoning and other state and
local government regulations. Zoning variances or use permits are often
required for construction. Severely restrictive regulations could impair the
ability of the Company to open additional facilities at desired locations or
could result in costly delays, which could adversely affect the Company's
business and growth strategy and results of operations. See "Risk Factors--
Development and Construction Risks" and "--Governmental Regulation."
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  As of September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 850 employees, of
which 35 were employed at the Company's headquarters. The Company believes
employee relations are good.
 
INSURANCE
 
  The provision of personal and health care services entails an inherent risk
of liability. Compared to more institutional long-term care facilities, senior
and assisted living residences offer residents a greater degree of
independence in their daily lives. This increased level of independence,
however, may subject the resident and the Company to certain risks that would
be reduced in more institutionalized settings. The Company currently maintains
liability insurance intended to cover such claims which it believes is
adequate based on the nature of the risks, its historical experience and
industry standards. See "Risk Factors--Liability and Insurance."
 
EXECUTIVE OFFICES
 
  The Company's executive office is located in Chicago, Illinois, where the
Company leases approximately 13,500 square feet under an agreement with an
affiliate of PGI. See "Certain Transactions."
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, although the
outcomes of these suits and claims are uncertain, in the aggregate they should
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

(1) In addition to a base salary, these individuals are expected to receive a
    substantial portion of their total compensation from an incentive bonus
    program that for Mr. Whitlock is based on facilities acquired and for Mr.
    Iuppenlatz is based on facilities developed.
 
STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
  The Company has established a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive
Plan") for the purpose of attracting and retaining directors, executive
officers and other key employees. Each option granted pursuant to the Stock
Incentive Plan shall be designated at the time of grant as either an
"incentive stock option" or as a "non-qualified stock option."
 
  The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grants of options ("Options") to
purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock. Under the Stock
Incentive Plan, 830,000 shares of Common Stock will be available for grants.
Participants in the Stock Incentive Plan, who may be directors, officers or
employees of the Company or its subsidiaries or Company-owned partnerships or
limited liability companies, will be selected by the Compensation Committee.
See "--Compensation of Directors; Indemnification Agreements."
 
  The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant
incentive stock options at an exercise price to be determined by it, provided
that such price cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date on which the Option is granted. If an incentive stock
option is to be granted to an employee who owns over 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of the Company's stock, then the exercise price
may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock covered
by such option on the day it is granted. The exercise price of non-qualified
stock options may be any price determined by the Compensation Committee.
 
  Concurrent with the completion of the IPO, the Company granted 675,000
Options (the "Initial Grants") to the following key officers and employees of
the Company: Michael W. Reschke (100,000); Mark J. Schulte (175,000); Darryl
W. Copeland, Jr. (250,000); Craig G. Walczyk (25,000); Matthew F. Whitlock
(25,000); Mark J. Iuppenlatz (25,000); Stephan T. Beck (25,000); Margaret B.
Shontz (25,000); and Sheryl A. Wolf (25,000).
 
  The Initial Grants vest, subject to certain conditions being met, at the
rate of 25% per year over the four years following the date of grant,
commencing on the first anniversary of their date of grant, and have a term of
10 years. The exercise price of the Options issued pursuant to the Initial
Grants is $11.50 per share, the initial public offering price of the Common
Stock. The exercise price for any of these Options is generally payable in
cash or, in certain circumstances, by the surrender, at the fair market value
on the date on which the Option is exercised, of shares of Common Stock.
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
  Concurrent with the completion of the IPO, the Company also granted an
aggregate of 20,000 Options to its non-employee directors that vest, subject
to certain conditions being met, at the rate of 33.3% per year over the three
years following the date of grant, commencing on the first anniversary of
their date of grant, and have a term of 10 years. The exercise price of these
Options is $11.50 per share, the initial public offering price of the Common
Stock. The exercise price for any of these Options is generally payable in
cash or, in certain circumstances, by the surrender, at the fair market value
on the date on which the Option is exercised, of shares of Common Stock.
 
  On June 30, 1997, the Company granted an aggregate of 56,000 Options to
certain employees that vest, subject to certain conditions being met, at the
rate of 25% per year over the four years following the date of grant,
commencing on the first anniversary of their date of grant, and have a term of
10 years. The exercise price of these Options is $11.875 per share. The
exercise price for any of these Options is generally payable in cash or, in
certain circumstances, by the surrender, at the fair market value on the date
on which the Option is exercised, of shares of Common Stock.
 
  Upon a "change in control" (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), all
unvested Options will vest. The rights of any participants to exercise an
Option may not be transferred in any way other than by will or applicable laws
of descent and distribution.
 
  The Compensation Committee may grant options under the Stock Incentive Plan
in substitution for outstanding options with higher exercise prices. In
addition, in the event of certain extraordinary events, the Compensation
Committee may make adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares
reserved for issuance, the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding
awards and the exercise prices specified therein as may be determined to be
appropriate.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  The Company entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Reschke,
Schulte, Copeland, Whitlock and Iuppenlatz. These agreements provide that the
executive officers shall devote substantially all of their business time to
the operation of the Company, except for Mr. Michael W. Reschke who shall only
be required to devote such time as he deems necessary to fulfill his duties
and obligations to the Company as Chairman of the Board. The agreements with
Messrs. Reschke, Schulte, Copeland, Whitlock and Iuppenlatz establish the
initial base salaries set forth in the executive compensation table and
provide for an initial three year term (except in the case of the agreement
with Mr. Copeland, which provides for an initial four year term) which is
automatically extended for an additional year after expiration of the initial
term and any extension period unless the Company provides the executive
officer with at least 30 days' prior written notice that such term shall not
be extended. The agreements with Messrs. Reschke, Schulte and Copeland also
provide for an annual bonus of up to 100% of the base salary based on certain
performance criteria. In addition, the agreement with Mr. Copeland provides
for a signing bonus of $150,000. The agreements with Messrs. Whitlock and
Iuppenlatz also provide for annual bonuses based on certain performance
criteria. If any of such agreements are terminated by the Company "without
cause" or due to disability, the executive so terminated will be entitled to a
lump sum payment. With respect to Messrs. Whitlock and Iuppenlatz, such lump
sum payment will be an amount equal to six months base salary. With regard to
Messrs. Reschke, Schulte and Copeland, such executives will receive a lump sum
payment equal to the base salary for one year plus a pro rata portion of the
annual bonus. Messrs. Reschke, Schulte and Copeland may terminate their
respective agreements and be entitled to approximately two times their annual
compensation and bonus in the event of a "change in control" of the Company
and a material diminution of their respective duties and responsibilities or
compensation. In the event any of Messrs. Schulte, Copeland, Whitlock and
Iuppenlatz voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company or in the
event the employment of any of Messrs. Schulte, Copeland, Whitlock and
Iuppenlatz is terminated by the Company "with cause," the executive will be
subject to a non-compete covenant which has a term of two years for Messrs.
Schulte and Copeland and which has a term of one year for Messrs. Whitlock and
Iuppenlatz. Mr. Reschke is bound by the non-compete agreement among PGI, the
Company and Mr. Reschke. See "Certain Transactions--Non-Compete Agreement." In
addition, The Prime Group, Inc., Mr. Schulte and Mr. Copeland entered into
certain agreements pursuant to which Mr. Copeland has the option to purchase

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
  Formation Agreement. Upon the completion of the IPO, the Company and PGI
entered into the Formation Agreement, pursuant to which PGI transferred to the
Company all of the capital stock of BLC Property, Inc., its interests in the
Heritage and the Devonshire facilities and the operations relating to its
senior and assisted living division. In return for such contribution, the
Company issued 1,703,043 shares of its Common Stock to PGI and assumed certain
indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $65.0 million. In addition, the
Company paid PGI approximately $8.4 million to reimburse PGI for earnest
monies previously paid by PGI in connection with the acquisition of the Edina
Park Plaza and Hawthorn Lakes facilities, the Park Place facility, a third
party's interests in the Heritage and the Devonshire facilities and the
proposed acquisitions of the development sites located in Glen Ellyn,
Illinois, Southfield, Michigan and Austin, Texas, for certain costs and fees
previously paid by PGI relating to the replacement credit enhancement on the
$65.0 million of tax-exempt bonds relating to the Heritage and the Devonshire
facilities and for certain costs and expenses previously paid by PGI relating
to the issuance and distribution of Common Stock pursuant to the IPO. In
accordance with the Formation Agreement, Mark J. Schulte transferred all of
his interests in PGI's senior and assisted living division to the Company in
exchange for 296,957 shares of Common Stock from the Company. Except as
expressly set forth in the Formation Agreement with regard to title, liens,
claims and certain other items and PGI's representations that the Heritage,
Devonshire and Hallmark facilities had been operated in the ordinary course
since December 31, 1996, no party made any representation or warranty as to
the assets, businesses or liabilities transferred or assumed pursuant to such
agreement, as to any consents or approvals required in connection therewith,
as to the value thereof or as to freedom from counterclaim with respect to any
claim of any party. Except as expressly set forth in the Formation Agreement,
all assets were transferred on an "as is, where is" basis. In the Formation
Agreement, PGI covenanted that the partnerships owning the Heritage and the
Devonshire facilities had no less than $800,000 in the aggregate in
unrestricted cash, plus any cash balances in real estate tax and capital
reserve accounts, upon the completion of the IPO; however, any unrestricted
cash in excess of $800,000 then held by such partnerships was distributed to
PGI.
 
  The Company indemnified PGI and its affiliates against certain losses,
claims, damages or liabilities including those arising out of: (i) any
inaccurate representation or breach of warranty by the Company under the
Formation Agreement; and (ii) any indebtedness, lease, contract or other
obligation assumed by the Company pursuant to the Formation Agreement. The
Company also indemnified PGI, as a controlling person, against any loss,
claim, damage or liability arising out of the IPO, except for losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arising from the inaccuracy of information supplied in
writing by PGI for inclusion in the prospectus related thereto. PGI similarly
indemnified the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to any inaccurate
representation or breach of warranty by PGI under the Formation Agreement.
 
  Registration Rights Agreement. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company
granted demand and incidental registration rights to PGI for the registration
of shares of Common Stock owned by PGI under the Securities Act. See
"Description of Capital Stock--Registration Rights Agreement."
 
  Voting Agreement. Upon completion of the IPO, PGI entered into a Voting
Agreement pursuant to which it agreed to vote all of its shares of Common
Stock at any meeting at which directors are elected in favor of the election
of independent directors so that after such election, if such persons are
elected, there will be at least four independent directors. The Voting
Agreement will continue in effect until the earlier of three years from the
closing date of the IPO and the date PGI first owns less than 10% of the
outstanding Common Stock.
 
  Non-Compete Agreement. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company, PGI and
Michael W. Reschke entered into a Non-Compete Agreement that will prevent PGI
and Mr. Reschke from developing, acquiring, owning, managing or operating
senior and assisted living facilities and semi-acute care facilities in the
United States for a period expiring on the earlier of (i) four years from the
closing date of the IPO and (ii) one year from the date of a merger of the
Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the
Company; however, PGI will be permitted to maintain its ownership interest in
the Island on Lake Travis facility. In addition, to the extent PGI or Mr.
Reschke were to acquire a group of properties that included facilities similar
to those operated by the Company, then the Company would have the right and
opportunity to purchase such similar facilities at a
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
price equal to their fair market value. PGI and Mr. Reschke will be allowed to
provide debt or lease financing for properties that are similar to the
facilities owned or managed by the Company.
 
  Management Agreement. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company and PGI
entered into a management agreement for a term of two years with respect to
the Island on Lake Travis facility. The Company will be paid a monthly fee of
5.0% of the gross revenues of such facility for each month and reimbursement
of expenses. The management agreement may be terminated by PGI only for cause
as set forth in the management agreement during its initial term and upon 60
days' prior written notice at any time after the expiration of the initial
term. The Company may terminate the management agreement at any time upon 60
days' advance notice.
 
  Space Sharing Agreement. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company and PGI
entered into a space sharing agreement for office space located at 77 West
Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois to be used as headquarters for the Company.
The space sharing agreement, which included a base rental rate of
approximately $8,800 per month plus a pro rata share of real estate taxes and
operating expenses, was terminated effective September 30, 1997.
 
  Stock Option and Purchase Agreements. Upon completion of the IPO, The Prime
Group, Inc. entered into a stock option agreement with Darryl W. Copeland, Jr.
pursuant to which Mr. Copeland received an option, subject to a one year
vesting period, to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock from The Prime
Group, Inc. at a purchase price of $0.01 per share. In the event the
employment of Mr. Copeland is terminated by the Company for any reason or in
the event Mr. Copeland voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company
due to a "change of control" of the Company and a material diminution of his
duties and responsibilities or compensation prior to the expiration of the
vesting period, the option will immediately vest. Upon completion of the IPO,
Mr. Copeland also entered into an agreement with The Prime Group, Inc. to
purchase an additional 25,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
  Office Lease. On September 25, 1997, the Company entered into a five year
lease, commencing October 1, 1997, for its corporate office with 77 West
Wacker Limited Partnership (the "Landlord"), a partnership which is owned by
Prime Group Realty Trust, the publicly-traded successor to PGI's office and
industrial divisions. The corporate office is located at 77 West Wacker Drive,
Suite 4800, Chicago, Illinois 60601. The office space is approximately 13,500
square feet, with base rent of $18.50 per square foot escalating at $0.75 per
square foot at each anniversary of the commencement date. On October 2, 1997,
in connection with the signing of the lease, the Company received a $404,000
cash payment from the Landlord.
 
  Exchangeable Note Transaction. PGI has issued an exchangeable note having a
principal amount of $20 million and a five year term (the "Exchangeable Note")
to an unaffiliated third party (the "Noteholder"), the repayment of which is
secured by the pledge by PGI of 1,370,000 shares of its Common Stock. Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchangeable Note, the Noteholder will have the right,
commencing on November 15, 1998 (the "Initial Exchange Date"), to exchange a
portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Exchangeable Note, plus the
accrued interest thereon, for shares of Common Stock of the Company held by
PGI, at the exchange rate specified therein. On and after the Initial Exchange
Date, the Noteholder will be entitled to exchange up to $5 million of the
outstanding principal under the Exchangeable Note, plus accrued interest
thereon, for shares of Common Stock of the Company held by PGI. Thereafter,
the Noteholder will be entitled to exchange up to a further $5 million of the
outstanding principal amount under the Exchangeable Note, plus accrued
interest thereon, on each of January 15, 1999, March 15, 1999 and May 15,
1999. Subject to certain exceptions, the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to exchange for a given amount of principal and accrued interest to be
exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Note will be equal to (x)
such amount of principal and accrued interest divided by (y) the product of
(A) 88% multiplied by (B) the average of the closing bid prices for the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the seven trading days immediately
preceding the date of exchange.
 
  Wayne D. Boberg, a director of the Company, is a partner of the law firm of
Winston & Strawn, which has provided, and continues to provide, legal services
to the Company. As of the date of this Prospectus, Mr. Boberg beneficially
owns 2,500 shares of Common Stock and has Options to acquire an additional
5,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
  Transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal
stockholders and their affiliates require the approval of a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate")
provides that the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
75,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). Upon the completion of the
Offering, 9,175,000 shares of Common Stock (9,475,000 if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be issued and outstanding,
and no shares of Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The Certificate does not provide
for cumulative voting, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect
all of the directors standing for election. The Certificate provides that
whenever there is paid, or declared and set aside for payment, to the holders
of the outstanding shares of any class of stock having preference over the
Common Stock as to the payment of dividends, the full amount of dividends and
of sinking fund or retirement fund or other retirement payments, if any, to
which such holders are entitled, then dividends may be paid on the Common
Stock out of any assets legally available therefor, but only when and as
declared by the Board of Directors. The Certificate also provides that in the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after
there is paid to or set aside for the holders of any class of stock having
preference over the Common Stock the full amount to which such holders are
entitled and after payment or provision for payment of all debts and
liabilities of the Company, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled
to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution, in
cash or in kind. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of
holders of Common Stock will be subject to the rights of the holders of any
shares of any series of Preferred Stock that the Company may issue in the
future.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Certificate provides that the Board of Directors of the Company is
authorized to issue Preferred Stock in series and to fix and state the voting
powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating,
optional or other special rights of the shares of each such series and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. Such action may be taken
by the Board without stockholder approval. Under the Certificate, each share
of each series of Preferred Stock is to have the same relative rights as, and
be identical in all respects with, all other shares of the same series. While
providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, the issuance of Preferred Stock, among other things,
could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock and,
under certain circumstances, be used as a means of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company. There will be no shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding upon completion of the Offering, and the Company
has no present plan to issue shares of its Preferred Stock.
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Limitations of Director Liability. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended (the "DGCL"), authorizes corporations to limit or
eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of
care. Although Section 102(b)(7) does not change directors' duty of care, it
enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as
injunction or rescission. The Certificate limits the liability of directors to
the Company or its stockholders to the full extent permitted by Section
102(b)(7). Specifically, directors of the Company are not personally liable
for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for breach of the
director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing
 
                                      41
<PAGE>
 
violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
  Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's
Amended and Restated By-laws (the "By-laws") provide for mandatory
indemnification of directors and officers of the Company against any expense,
liability and loss to which they may become subject, or which they may incur
as a result of being or having been a director or officer of the Company. In
addition, the Company must advance or reimburse directors and officers for
expenses incurred by them in connection with indemnifiable claims.
 
  The Company also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.
 
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  The Certificate and the By-laws contain, among other things, certain
provisions described below that may reduce the likelihood of a change in the
Board of Directors or voting control of the Company without the consent of the
Board of Directors. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging,
delaying or preventing tender offers or takeover attempts that some or a
majority of the stockholders might consider to be in the stockholders' best
interest, including offers or attempts that might result in payment of a
premium over the market price for the Common Stock.
 
  Classification of Board of Directors. The Certificate and the By-laws of the
Company divide the Board of Directors into three classes, designated Class I,
Class II and Class III, respectively, each class to be as nearly equal in
number as possible. The terms of Class I, Class II and Class III directors
will expire at the 1998, 1999 and 2000 annual meetings of stockholders,
respectively, and in all cases directors elected will serve until their
respective successors are elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed those in the class whose
terms then expire, each elected director to serve for a term expiring at the
third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after such director's
election, and until the director's successor is elected and qualified. Thus,
only one class of the directors stand for re-election each year, requiring at
least two stockholders' meetings at which directors are elected to replace a
majority of the Board.
 
  Filling of Board Vacancies; Removal. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of
Directors, including any vacancy created by an increase in the number of
directors, shall be filled for the unexpired term by the concurring vote of a
majority of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any
director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the
class in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and
until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.
Directors may only be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock then
entitled to vote at an election of directors.
 
  Stockholder Action by Unanimous Written Consent. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called
annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any
consent in writing by such holders, unless such consent is unanimous.
 
  Call of Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at
any time but only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the
Chief Executive Officer, the President or stockholders possessing at least 25%
of the voting power of the issued and outstanding voting stock entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors.
 
  By-laws Amendments. The stockholders may amend the By-laws by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon. Directors may also
amend the By-laws by a two-thirds vote of the directors then in office.
 
  Certificate Amendments. Except as set forth in the Certificate or as
otherwise specifically required by law, no amendment of any provision of the
Certificate shall be made unless such amendment has been first proposed
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
by the Board of Directors upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then in office and thereafter approved by the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of
the Company entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, if such amendment is
to the provisions described above or the provisions in the Certificate
relating to the decrease in the authorized number of shares of Preferred
Stock, Board authority to issue Preferred Stock, the removal or decreasing of
the limitation on directors' liability or the amendment of the By-laws or
stockholder meeting matters, such amendment must be approved by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote thereon.
 
  Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. With certain exceptions, the By-laws
require that stockholders intending to present nominations for directors or
other business for consideration at a meeting of stockholders notify the
Company's Secretary by the later of 60 days before the date of the meeting and
15 days after the date notice of the meeting is mailed or public notice of the
meeting is given.
 
  Certain Statutory Provisions. Section 203 of the DGCL provides, in general,
that a stockholder acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding voting shares of
a corporation subject to the statute (an "Interested Stockholder"), but less
than 85% of such shares, may not engage in certain "Business Combinations"
with the corporation for a period of three years subsequent to the date on
which the stockholder became an Interested Stockholder unless (i) before such
person became an Interested Stockholder, the corporation's board of directors
approved either the Business Combination or the transaction in which the
stockholder became an Interested Stockholder or (ii) the Business Combination
is approved by the corporation's board of directors and authorized by a vote
of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not
owned by the Interested Stockholder.
 
  Section 203 defines the term "Business Combination" to encompass a wide
variety of transactions with or caused by an Interested Stockholder in which
the Interested Stockholder receives or could receive a benefit on other than a
pro rata basis with other stockholders, including mergers, certain asset
sales, certain issuances of additional shares to the Interested Stockholder,
transactions with the corporation which increase the proportionate interest of
the Interested Stockholder or a transaction in which the Interested
Stockholder receives certain other benefits.
 
  Pursuant to a Board resolution adopted at the time of formation of the
Company, the Section 203 limits do not apply to any "Business Combination"
between the Company and PGI.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
  The Company has granted demand and incidental registration rights to PGI for
the registration of shares of Common Stock owned by PGI under the Securities
Act. PGI has waived its incidental registration rights in connection with the
Offering. Three demand registrations are permitted during the first five years
following the initial public offering of the Common Stock and one registration
per year each year thereafter until PGI owns less than 10% of the outstanding
Common Stock. The Company will pay the fees and expenses of the demand
registrations and the incidental registrations, while PGI will pay all
underwriting discounts and commissions. These registration rights are subject
to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of underwriters to
limit the number of shares owned by PGI included in such registration.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is LaSalle National
Bank.

<PAGE>
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of
shares or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market
price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial
amounts of Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock and the
ability of the Company to raise capital through a sale of its securities.
 
  Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 9,175,000 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, (9,475,000 shares if the Underwriters' over-
allotment option is exercised in full). Of those shares, 7,175,000 shares
(7,475,000 shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in
full) will be freely tradeable without restriction (except for any shares
owned by affiliates of the Company including 2,500,000 of the shares owned by
PGI) or further registration under the Securities Act. The remaining 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock outstanding will be restricted securities ("Restricted
Securities") within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and are
held by PGI and management of the Company.
 
  In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect,
a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned
Restricted Securities for at least one year, and including the holding period
of any prior owner unless such prior owner is an affiliate, would be entitled
to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed
the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the
average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National
Market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule
144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements
and the availability of current public information about the Company. Any
person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been
an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months preceding a
sale, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years (including
any period of ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders), would be
entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume
limitations, manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or
notice requirements. An "affiliate" is a person that directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or under
common control with, such issuer.
 
  PGI has issued an exchangeable note having a principal amount of $20.0
million and a term of five years (the "Exchangeable Note") to an unaffiliated
third party (the "Noteholder"), the repayment of which is secured by the
pledge of 1,370,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company held by PGI.
Pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Note, the Noteholder will have the
right, commencing on November 15, 1998, and thereafter on certain dates
through maturity, to exchange specified portions of the outstanding principal
amount of the Exchangeable Note, plus the accrued interest thereon, for shares
of the Common Stock of the Company held by PGI, at the exchange rates
specified therein. See "Certain Transactions--Exchangeable Note Transaction."
 
  The Company, its directors and executive officers, certain of its key
employees and PGI have agreed not to offer to sell, sell, distribute, grant
any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock owned by them prior to the expiration
of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus, except (i) with the prior written
consent of FBR, and (ii) in the case of the Company, the grant of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company's Stock Incentive Plan.
 
  Upon the expiration of such lock-up period, PGI may sell 2,500,000 of its
shares of Common Stock subject to the volume and other limitations of Rule 144
and may sell 1,703,043 of its shares commencing May 8, 1998, subject to the
volume and other limitations of Rule 144. However, PGI has the right to demand
registration of its shares for resale and has the right to include its shares
in any future registration of securities effected by the Company under the
Securities Act, subject to the right of any underwriter in such offering
requiring PGI to reduce the number of shares PGI otherwise has the right to
have included in such registration. If the Company is required to register
shares held by PGI pursuant to the exercise of its registration rights, or if
PGI sells, subject to applicable Rule 144 limitations, a large number of the
shares it has acquired, such sales may have an adverse effect on the Company's
stock price and its ability to raise needed capital. See "Risk Factors--Shares
Eligible for Future Sale," "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of
Capital Stock--Registration Rights Agreement."
 
  The Company intends to file a registration statement under the Securities
Act registering 830,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. See "Management--
Stock Incentive Plan." Accordingly, shares to be registered under such
registration statement will be available for sale in the open market, unless
such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with the Company and except to
the extent that the holders of such options are subject to the 90 day lock-up
period described above.

  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Common Stock offered hereby
are subject to approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to certain
other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all the
shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than the shares of Common Stock
covered by the over-allotment option described below) if any are taken.
 
  The Underwriting Agreement contains covenants of indemnity among the
Underwriters and the Company against certain liabilities under the Securities
Act.
 
  The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to offer the
shares of Common Stock to the public initially at the price to the public set
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers (who may
include the Underwriters) at such price less a concession not to exceed $0.50
per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, discounts
not in excess of $0.10 per share to any other Underwriter and certain other
dealers.
 
  The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of
300,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price less
underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments. To
the extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each of the
Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage of such additional shares as the number of
shares set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in the preceding table bears
to the total number of shares offered, and the Company will be obligated,
pursuant to the option, to sell such shares to the Underwriters.
 
  Subject to certain exceptions, the Company, its directors and executive
officers, certain of its key employees and PGI have agreed not to offer, sell,
contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible or exchangeable into any shares of Common Stock prior
to the expiration of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus, without the
prior written consent of FBR. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
  In connection with this offering, certain Underwriters and selling group
members (if any) who are qualifying registered market makers on the Nasdaq
Stock Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation
M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
during the qualifying period which is two business days before commencement of
sales in this offering. The passive market making transactions must comply
with applicable price and volume limits and be identified as such. In general,
a passive market maker may display its bid at a price not in excess of the
highest independent bid for the security; if all independent bids are lowered
below the passive market maker's bid, however, such bid must then be lowered
when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Net purchases by a passive market
maker on each day are generally limited to
 
                                      45
<PAGE>
 
30.0% of the passive market maker's average daily trading volume in the Common
Stock during a prior period and must be discontinued when such limit is
reached. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the Common
Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail, and, if commenced,
may be discontinued at any time.
 
  The Underwriters have advised the Company that, pursuant to Regulation M
under the Exchange Act, certain persons participating in this Offering may
engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market
price of the Common Stock at levels above those which might otherwise prevail
in the open market, including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering
transactions or the imposition of penalty bids. A "stabilizing bid" is a bid
for, or the purchase of, the Common Stock on behalf of the Underwriters for
the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the Common Stock. A
"syndicate covering transaction" is the bid for, or the purchase of, the
Common Stock on behalf of the Underwriters to reduce a short position incurred
by the Underwriters in connection with this Offering. A "penalty bid" is an
arrangement permitting the managing underwriter to reclaim the selling
concession otherwise accruing to an Underwriter or syndicate member in
connection with this Offering if the Common Stock originally sold by such
Underwriter or syndicate member is purchased by the Underwriters in a
syndicate covering transaction and has therefore not been effectively placed
by such Underwriter or syndicate member. The Underwriters have advised the
Company that such transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market
or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
 
  The Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of shares of Common Stock to
any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.
 
  The Company will pay FBR a fee equal to 0.5% of the gross proceeds of the
Offering for financial advisory and related services rendered in connection
with the Offering.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Winston &
Strawn, Chicago, Illinois. In addition, certain legal matters will be passed
upon for the Underwriters by Alston & Bird LLP, Atlanta, Georgia. Wayne D.
Boberg, a partner of Winston & Strawn, is a director of the Company. As of the
date of this Prospectus, Mr. Boberg beneficially owns 2,500 shares of Common
Stock and has Options to acquire an additional 5,000 shares of Common Stock.

is presented as if, at September 30, 1997, the Company had sold 2.0 million
shares of its common stock at a sale price of $16.6875 per share, with the
proceeds thereof to be used as described under "Use of Proceeds" and includes
the effects of the Acquisitions and Leases Prior to or at the IPO (as
defined). The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended

January 1, 1996. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with all of the

opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the Offering have
been made.
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet and Statements
of Operations of the Company are not necessarily indicative of what the actual
financial position or results of operations would have been assuming the
Offering had occurred at the dates indicated above, nor do they purport to
represent the future financial position or results of operations of the

from May 7, 1997 to September 30, 1997), the Original Facilities (for the
period from January 1, 1997 to May 6, 1997 and the year ended December 31,
1996), the IPO Properties (for the period from January 1, 1997 to May 6, 1997
and the year ended December 31, 1996) and Post IPO Leases (for the period from
January 1, 1997 to September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996) as
described below and the pro forma effects of the consolidation and Offering:

- ---------------------
(1) These properties are collectively referred to as the IPO Properties.
(2) These properties are collectively referred to as the Post IPO Leases.
(3) The Company has leased these properties from a third party since December
    27, 1996.
(4) The Company has leased this property from a third party since May 7, 1997.
(5) The Company has leased this property from a third party since November 24,
    1997.
(6) The Company intends to lease these properties from third parties during
    December 1997.
(7) The Company intends to lease this property from a third party before
    January 31, 1998.
 
  The Company expects to use $20.0 million of the proceeds of the Offering to
repay borrowings under the $20.0 million revolving credit facility with
LaSalle National Bank (Credit Facility). As of December 18, 1997 the Company
had borrowed $20.0 million under the Credit Facility (See Note 7 of the Notes
to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of Brookdale Living
Communities, Inc.). In addition, the Company may use approximately $4.5
million to finance the purchase of investments collateralizing lease
obligations on Harbor Village. Since the borrowings under the Credit Facility
occurred after September 30, 1997 and will be of a short term nature, the pro
forma financial statements have not reflected the use of proceeds as repayment
of debt. The net proceeds not used to either repay indebtedness under the
Credit Facility or to fund investments collateralizing lease obligations are
estimated to be approximately $6.4 million (approximately $11.2 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). Such amount will be
used to finance a portion of the future acquisitions and developments of
senior and assisted living facilities and for working capital and general
corporate purposes. Pending such uses described above, the Company intends to
invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing securities or
certificates of deposit. (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and "Business--Business and Growth Strategy.")

  * The Company has determined the estimated useful
   lives of buildings to be 45 years and furniture
   and equipment to be 5 years, as compared to 40
   years and 3-12 years, respectively used by the
   Original Facilities. This change was made to
   better reflect the estimated periods during which
   such assets will remain in service. For financial
   statement reporting purposes, the above will be
   recorded prospectively as a change in estimate
   for the Original Facilities over their remaining
   lives. Depreciation expense included in the "Pro

   Company's new estimated useful lives.

(g)Income (loss) before minority interest and
 income taxes:
  The income (loss) before minority interest
   and income taxes presented in the historical
   statements of the IPO Properties is before
   gain on sale of property and represents
   income (loss) from continuing operations.
   The gains on sale of properties are not

(i)(Provision) benefit for income taxes:
  The Original Facilities, the IPO Properties
   and the Post IPO Leases were not taxable
   entities. The realization of the deferred
   gain on the sale of the Hallmark facility as
   a reduction of lease expenses is considered
   a permanent difference between book income
   (loss) and tax income (loss) and is not
   taxable. The difference has the following
   impact on the Company's benefit for income
   tax at a 40% rate (includes, federal and
   state statutory income tax rates). This
   adjustment provides pro forma benefit from
   income taxes at a 40% effective income tax

     Retirement Community and Harbor Village from
     a third party. Although the Company expects

           PREDECESSOR PROPERTIES (THE "PREDECESSOR" TO THE COMPANY)
      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
  Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware on September 4, 1996. The Company was formed in order to create a
company focused on senior and assisted living, which would include such
property ownership interests and operations of The Prime Group, Inc. and
certain of its affiliates (collectively, "PGI"). In connection with an initial
public offering (the "IPO"), more fully described in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, in the form it became effective on May 1, 1997,
the Company sold 4,500,000 shares of its common stock to the public and PGI
contributed its senior and assisted living property ownership interests and
operations in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
PGI purchased 2,500,000 of the 4,500,000 shares of common stock. Net of
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, the Company received
approximately $44.2 million in net proceeds from the IPO.
 
  Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company had 6,500,000 shares of common
stock outstanding. Of these shares, the 4,500,000 shares sold in the IPO are
freely tradable without restriction or limitation, except for any shares
(including the 2,500,000 shares purchased by PGI) purchased by "affiliates" of
the Company. The remaining 2,000,000 shares are "restricted securities" and
are held by PGI and management of the Company. The Company used the proceeds
from the IPO primarily to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the
Acquired Facilities (as defined below), to acquire the third party interests
in two properties in which PGI also had interests, to pay certain amounts to
or on behalf of PGI and various parties in connection with the Formation (as
defined in the Prospectus), to finance a portion of future acquisitions and
developments and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
 
  Upon consummation of the IPO, PGI contributed its interests in the
Predecessor Properties (described below) to the Company. In addition, the
Company acquired a third party's interest in The Devonshire and The Heritage
Facilities. The Company acquired the Edina Park Plaza and the Hawthorn Lakes
Facilities from an unaffiliated third party, and the Company entered into an
agreement to lease the Park Place Facilities ("Park Place") from an
unaffiliated third party (collectively, the "Acquired Facilities").
 
  In connection with the IPO, the Company granted the Underwriters an option
to purchase up to 675,000 additional shares of common stock for the purpose of
covering over-allotments. The underwriters elected the over-allotment option
and, on June 3, 1997, the Company sold 675,000 shares in connection with the
over-allotment option and received approximately $7.2 million in net proceeds.
 
  The combined financial statements of the properties owned by the Senior
Housing Division of The Prime Group, Inc. at December 31, 1996 and for the
period from January 1, 1997 through May 6, 1997 consist of five properties,
including three leased properties (collectively, the "Predecessor Properties"
as defined in the table below). As the Springs of East Mesa and The Gables at
Brighton Facilities were not included in the Predecessor Properties until
December 27, 1996, the periods prior to December 27, 1996 represent interests
in the three partnerships that owned, operated and managed The Devonshire, The
Heritage and The Hallmark Facilities (the "Original Facilities"). The
interests in the Predecessor Properties and the Acquired Facilities represent
the interests of the Company at September 30, 1997. The following tables set
forth the Predecessor Properties and the Acquired Facilities (collectively,
the "Properties").

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting
only of recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For
further information regarding significant accounting policies please refer to
the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Brookdale
Living Communities, Inc. Prospectus dated May 1, 1997. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the
consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current financial statement presentation.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS
 
  In conjunction with the Offering, the Company purchased a third party's
interest in two of the Predecessor Properties (the Heritage and the Devonshire
Facilities), purchased two facilities (the Hawthorn Lakes and Edina Park Plaza
Facilities) from an unaffiliated third party and entered into an agreement to
lease a third facility (the Park Place Facilities). The total consideration
(including acquisition costs) for these acquisitions and earnest money
deposits on pending acquisitions was $81,028,000, consisting of $41,096,000 in
cash, $31,345,000 in long-term obligations and the assumption of liabilities
totaling $8,587,000.
 
4. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
 
  On September 3, 1997, the Company purchased land in Austin, Texas for the
purpose of developing a Brookdale prototype senior and assisted living
facility. The Company acquired the land for a total consideration of
$2,889,000.

5. COMMITMENTS
 
  On September 25, 1997, the Company entered into a five year lease
commitment, commencing October 1, 1997, for its corporate office with 77 West
Wacker Limited Partnership (the "Landlord"), an affiliate of PGI. The
corporate office is located at 77 West Wacker, Suite 4800, Chicago, Illinois
60601. The office space is 13,464 square feet, with base rent of $18.50 per
square foot escalating at $0.75 per square foot at each anniversary of the
commencement date. In conjunction with the signing of the lease, the Company
received a $404,000 cash payment from the Landlord on October 2, 1997.
 
6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("FAS 128") effective for financial statements for both interim and annual
periods ending after December 15, 1997. FAS 128 establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share and supersedes APB Opinion No. 15.
"Earnings Per Share." FAS 128 replaces primary earnings per share with basic
earnings per share and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share on the face of the income statement. The Company will adopt
the Standard in the fourth quarter of 1997 and does not expect the adoption of
FAS 128 to have a material impact.
 
  In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" ("FAS 129") effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. FAS 129
requires additional disclosures regarding the Company's capital structure. The
Company will adopt the Standard in the fourth quarter of 1997 and does not
expect the adoption of FAS 129 to have a material impact.
 
  In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"). The statement
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of
a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during
a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to
owners. FAS No. 130 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998. Adoption of FAS 130 is not expected to significantly impact
the Company's financial position or results of operations, including the
required comparative presentation for prior periods.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors of
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Original
Facilities as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the related combined
statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit) and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Original Facilities'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Original
Facilities at December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The Original Facilities represent a combination of three partnerships
described below ("Partnerships") that own, operate, and manage assisted living
facilities ("Properties") in the greater Chicagoland area. The Properties are
under common management and ownership of The Prime Group, Inc. and its
affiliates ("PGI") as either the managing general partner (responsible for the
operations of the Properties) or 100% owner. Two of the Properties have a
third party owner ("Third Party"), whose ownership interests have been
reflected as a minority interest in the combined financial statements.
Pursuant to the formation transactions more fully described elsewhere in this
Registration Statement and Prospectus, the Original Facilities will be
operated (owned or leased) by a newly formed corporation, Brookdale Living
Communities, Inc. (the "Company"), whose shares are being registered pursuant
to this Registration Statement.
 
  The Partnerships and Properties owned and operated by the Original
Facilities are as follows:

      <S>                                                       <C>
      The Ponds of Pembroke Limited Partnership                 The Devonshire
      River Oaks Partners                                       The Heritage
      Hallmark Partners, L.P.                                   The Hallmark
</TABLE>
 
  Included in the combined financial statements are the operations of The
Devonshire (Partnership ownership-PGI: 25% managing general partner interest,
Third Party: 50% general partner interest and 25% limited partner interest)
and The Heritage (Partnership ownership-PGI: 50% managing general partner
interest and Third Party: 50% general partner interest) and the operations of
the Hallmark from June 1, 1994 (The Hallmark facility was purchased by
Hallmark Partners, L.P., a newly formed partnership 100% owned by PGI, on June
1, 1994 for $41.6 million. On an unaudited pro-forma basis for the year ended
December 31, 1994 combined revenue would have increased by approximately $2.6
million and combined net loss would have increased by approximately $1.0
million in the combined statements of operations had the Hallmark been owned
by PGI since January 1, 1994).
 
  On December 27, 1996 The Hallmark was sold by Hallmark Partners, L.P. (HP)
to Health and Retirement Properties Trust (HRPT) which then leased The
Hallmark to BLC Property, Inc. (BLC), an affiliate of PGI, which subleased the
property back to HP (see Note 7), in a sale-leaseback transaction. HP received
net proceeds from the sale of $58.5 million, resulting in a gain of $18.5
million net of a prepayment fee of $2.8 million and the writeoff of deferred
financing fees of $579,601. The above gain is deferred and is being amortized
using the straight-line method over the life of the sublease.
 
  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
 
RESIDENT FEE REVENUE
 
  Resident fee revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of
fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional
services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of," under which the Partnerships would be required to
recognize impairment losses for the Properties when indicators of impairment
are present and the Properties' expected undiscounted cash flows are not
sufficient to recover the Properties' carrying value.

                              ORIGINAL FACILITIES
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
The Partnerships adopted Statement No. 121 effective January 1, 1995 with no
impact on the accompanying combined financial statements.
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or
extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful life. Interest and other direct costs incurred during
construction periods are capitalized as a component of the building cost.
 
  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets, which are as follows:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                            <C>
             Buildings..................... 40 years
             Building improvements and
              furniture fixtures........... 3-12 years
</TABLE>
 
DEFERRED COSTS
 
  Deferred financing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the mortgage notes and bonds. Deferred lease costs are amortized
using the straight-line method over the term of the sublease. Deferred
marketing costs, consisting primarily of the costs of the marketing
facilities, were amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated
lease up period of 22 months through June 1995 when they were fully amortized.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnerships pay no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnerships is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
  The Partnerships net basis of real estate assets as reported in the
financial statements at December 31, 1996 exceeds the basis used for federal
income tax purposes by approximately $2.2 million due to the use of
accelerated depreciation methods for federal income tax purposes.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
PRO FORMA PRESENTATION (UNAUDITED)
 
  The pro forma net income per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 was
determined based upon 2 million shares of common stock issued by the Company
to PGI in exchange for its ownership in the Original Facilities.
 
  The pro forma (provision) benefit for income taxes for the Original
Facilities is based on the historical combined financial data of the Original
Facilities as if the entities comprising the Original Facilities had operated
as taxable corporations for all periods presented and is recorded at the
federal and state statutory rates in effect during the period (40%).
 
2. CASH--RESTRICTED
 
  The Heritage and The Hallmark have Life Care Escrow deposits required under
the Illinois Life Care Facility Act Section 7(b) which will be funded from
time to time in accordance with a schedule provided by the

Illinois Department of Public Health. The amount on deposit at December 31,
1995 and 1996 was $652,503 and $1,088,797, respectively.
 
  In accordance with the mortgage note payable described in Note 5, The
Hallmark was required to maintain escrow deposits for real estate taxes,
repairs, and other operating activities. The total of all escrow accounts at
December 31, 1995 was $1,080,351.
 
  Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 148(f), The Heritage was required
to rebate to the United States government any interest earnings in excess of
the interest cost of the Bond proceeds not yet used for Project costs. During
1995, the Partnership paid $806,418 from unused restricted Bond proceeds to
the United States government as a final settlement of its arbitrage rebate
payable. No amounts were paid in 1994 or 1996.
 
3. DEFERRED COSTS
 
  Deferred costs consist of the following:

- ---------------------
(A) The mortgage note payable was collateralized by The Hallmark's real
    estate.
(B) On December 27, 1996, The Hallmark was sold and a portion of the proceeds
    were used to repay the mortgage note payable. In addition, The Hallmark
    was required to pay a prepayment fee of $2,722,679 which has been included
    as a reduction in calculating the gain on sale of property. The Hallmark
    repaid a previous note payable on December 18, 1995 from proceeds of the
    above mentioned mortgage note payable which resulted in an extraordinary
    gain of $3,274,207 in 1995.
(C) Permanent financing for the development for The Devonshire and The
    Heritage has been provided by $65,000,000 (The Devonshire--$33,000,000;
    The Heritage--$32,000,000) of tax-exempt Qualified Residential Rental
    Bonds (the "Bonds"). The Bonds mature on December 15, 2019 and December
    15, 2025.
  Under the terms of the bond loan agreement, The Devonshire and The Heritage
  are to make interest-only payments monthly, calculated using a floating
  rate determined by the Remarketing Agent of the Bonds. The rates ranged
  from 1.65% to 5.50% during 1994, 2.55% to 5.20% during 1995 and 2.30% to
  4.40% during
 
                                     F-29
<PAGE>
 
                              ORIGINAL FACILITIES
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  1996. The rates at December 31, 1995 were 5.05% and 5.20%, and December 31,
  1996 were 4.00% and 4.10%.
  The maximum annual interest rate on the Bonds is 15%. Under certain
  conditions, the interest rate on the Bonds may be converted to a fixed rate
  at the request of the respective Partnership.
  The Bonds are collateralized by irrevocable letters of credit issued by
  various banks in the aggregate amount of $66,714,699 (the "Letters of
  Credit") that expire December, 1997 and December, 1998. A Letter of Credit
  fee of .5% per annum of the stated amount of the Letters of Credit is due
  quarterly in advance. The Letters of Credit with the various banks are
  collateralized by separate Standby Purchase Agreements entered into with
  the Third Party to reimburse the banks for any funds drawn on the Letters
  of Credit. The Letters of Credit and Standby Purchase Agreements are
  collateralized by mortgages on The Devonshire and The Heritage. The due
  dates of the bonds would be accelerated upon the expiration of the Letters
  of Credit and Standby Purchase Agreements unless they are extended or
  replaced. However, The Devonshire and The Heritage have entered into
  separate Standby Bond Purchase and Indemnity Agreements (the "Agreements")
  with the Third Party pursuant to which the Third Party agrees to provide
  standby credit enhancement to issuers of replacement Letters of Credit or,
  if replacement Letters of Credit are not obtained, to buy the bonds. The
  Agreements expire on March 22, 1998. If the Third Party buys the bonds
  pursuant to the Agreements, The Devonshire and The Heritage would be
  required to buy the bonds from the Third Party on March 22, 1998. PGI has
  provided the Third Party with certain collateral totaling $2,220,000 to
  secure the obligations of The Devonshire under the Agreements with the
  Third Party. The Partnerships incurred financing fees of $743,002, $877,500
  and $581,441 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996
  respectively.
  Each bondholder may tender bonds on any business day and receive a price
  equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest through the
  tender date. Upon tender, the Remarketing Agent shall immediately remarket
  the Bonds on a best-efforts basis. In the event the Remarketing Agent fails
  to remarket any bonds, the partnerships are obligated to purchase those
  bonds, for which they may draw on the Letters of Credit.
 
  Included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 is
$117,318 of interest expense related to a $2,510,081 note payable to an
affiliate that was repaid in 1994. The note payable bore interest at 10% per
annum.
 
  Interest expense is stated net of interest income of $155,608, $118,642 and
$113,696 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  Total interest paid on the mortgage note payable and bonds payable was
$2,633,635, $6,306,039 and $4,761,857 for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1995, and 1996, respectively.
 
5. TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING
 
  The Heritage is located in a redevelopment area designated by a local
municipality as a tax incremental financing district ("TIF"). Under the terms
of the redevelopment agreement, The Heritage is eligible to receive up to
$1,136,889 for all eligible development costs, as defined through a Tax
Incremental Financing Bond ("Bond"). The Bond matures on December 1, 2007 and
bears interest at 10%, with principal and interest payable annually on each
December 1. The Bond is subject to optional redemption in whole, or in part,
at any time, at a redemption price equal to the principal outstanding at the
date redeemed. The Bond is subject to mandatory redemption, in part, by the
application of annual sinking fund installments by the municipality on each
December 1 thereafter, at a redemption price equal to the principal
outstanding at the date redeemed. The Bond is payable solely from real estate
tax incremental revenues and certain sales tax receipts generated in the TIF.
Payments are to be made to the extent of available TIF revenues. The
insufficiency of TIF revenues generated in the
 
                                     F-30
<PAGE>

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
redevelopment area for any given year shall not be considered a default in
payment, but all past due amounts shall be a continuing obligation payable
from future TIF revenues. Any unpaid amounts including interest, at maturity,
will be forgiven. As the collectibility of the bond principal and interest is
dependent upon sufficient revenues being generated in the redevelopment area,
revenue is recognized by The Heritage when principal and interest are
received. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996, The Heritage
received principal and interest payments totaling $144,389, $144,089 and
$610,804, respectively.
 
6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
  In August 1994, PGI established 401(k) plans for all employees that meet
minimum employment criteria. The plans provide that the participants may defer
up to 15% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis subject to certain
maximum amounts. The Partnerships will contribute an additional 25% of the
employee's contribution to the plan, up to $500 per employee per annum.
Employees are always 100% vested in their own contributions and vested in
Partnerships contributions over five years. The Partnership made contributions
in the amount of $33,456, $16,480 and $29,782 for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1995 and 1996 respectively. Such amounts are included in facility
operating expense in the combined statements of operations.
 
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  In connection with the organization of the Partnerships and the development
and financing of the Properties, PGI and an affiliate are entitled to payments
and fees for various services provided. Such amounts incurred for the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996 are summarized as follows:

transactions more fully described elsewhere in this Registration Statement and
Prospectus. The advances are non-interest bearing and have been reflected as
an increase in partners' deficit in the combined financial statements.
 
  In conjunction with the sale of the Hallmark (see Note 1) BLC leased The
Hallmark from the third party and then subleased (Sublease Agreement) the
property to Hallmark Partners, L.P. The Sublease Agreement has an initial term
of 23 years with options to extend the term for two consecutive 25-year terms,
and requires monthly lease payments ranging from $490,834 to $568,334 over the
life of the sublease. Future minimum annual rental expense to be recorded over
the life of the Sublease Agreement is $5,933,301 (Gross expense of $6,739,136
less amortization of deferred gain on sale of property of $805,835). During
1996, the Partnerships recorded $74,875 of rental expense (included in
facility operating expense in the combined statements of operations) related
to the Sublease Agreement.
 
8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Cash, cash-restricted and variable rate and fixed rate mortgage notes
payable are reflected in the accompanying combined balance sheets at amounts
considered by management to reasonably approximate fair value. Management
estimates the fair value of its long-term fixed rate notes payable generally
using discounted cash flow analysis based upon the Original Facilities'
current borrowing rate for debt with similar maturities.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors of
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Activelife
Facilities as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the related combined
statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Activelife Facilities' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Activelife
Facilities at December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The Activelife Facilities ("Activelife") represents a combination of three
partnerships described below ("Partnerships") that own, operate, and manage
assisted living facilities ("Properties"). The Properties are under the common
management of Activelife Management Corporation ("AMC"). Certain principals of
AMC also have ownership interests in the Partnerships. Pursuant to the
formation transactions more fully described elsewhere in this Registration
Statement and Prospectus, the Activelife Facilities will be operated (owned or
leased) by a newly formed corporation Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (the
"Company"), whose shares are being registered pursuant to this Registration
Statement.
 
  The Partnerships and Properties owned and operated by AMC are as follows:
 
<TABLE>

                  PARTNERSHIP                          PROPERTY              LOCATION
<S>                                              <C>                  <C>
East Mesa Senior Living Limited Partnership      Springs of East Mesa Mesa, Arizona
Edina Park Place Associates Limited Partnership  Edina Park Plaza     Edina, Minnesota
Hawthorn Lakes Associates Limited Partnership    Hawthorn Lakes       Vernon Hills, Illinois
</TABLE>
 
  The Partnerships maintain their books and records on the basis of accounting
used for federal income tax purposes. The differences between federal income
tax basis and generally accepted accounting principles affecting the
Partnerships relate to differences in the basis of real estate assets and the
use of accelerated depreciation methods with shorter depreciable lives used
for federal income tax basis, resulting in the net book value of real estate
assets at December 31, 1996 being approximately $15.1 million lower for
federal income tax basis.
 
  On December 27, 1996 the Springs of East Mesa was sold by East Mesa Senior
Living Limited Partnership to a third party for net proceeds of $13.8 million,
resulting in a gain of $7.4 million net of the writeoff of deferred financing
fees of $170,650. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the mortgage
note payable on the Springs of East Mesa.
 
  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
 
RESIDENT FEES REVENUE
 
  Resident fees revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of
fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional
services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Properties were carried at cost which was not in
excess of net realizable value as determined by management. In March 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
under which the Partnerships would be required to recognize impairment losses
for the Properties when indicators of impairment are present and the
Properties' expected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the
Properties' carrying value. The Partnerships adopted Statement No. 121
effective January 1, 1996 with no impact on the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or
extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful life.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets, which are as follows:

      <S>                                                             <C>
      Buildings...................................................... 40 years
      Building improvements and furniture and equipment.............. 5-10 years
</TABLE>
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Partnerships consider all cash accounts and money market funds and
certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
DEFERRED FINANCING FEES
 
  Deferred financing fees are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the mortgage notes payable.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnerships pay no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnerships is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
2. CASH--RESTRICTED
 
  In accordance with mortgage note payable agreements described in Note 3, the
Partnerships are required to maintain escrow deposits for real estate taxes,
repairs, and other operating activities.

(C) On December 27, 1996 the mortgage note was repaid from proceeds from the
    sale of the Springs of East Mesa. In February 1994, the mortgage note
    payable was refinanced resulting in an extraordinary loss on
    extinguishment of debt of $304,407.
(D) The Elderly Housing Interest Reduction Agreement (arising out of tax
    increment financing) between the HRA and the Partnership provides that the
    HRA will make loans upon request of the Partnership in monthly
    installments to the Partnership totaling $170,000 each year for a period
    of 20 years, commencing in 1987, for the payment of interest on the
    mortgage note payable issued by HRA. The loan bears interest at the
    greater of 12 1/2% simple interest per annum or the statutory minimum, as
    defined, and shall be payable with interest at maturity. Included in the
    balance is accrued interest of $789,112 and $982,915 at December 31, 1995
    and 1996, respectively. Advances plus all unpaid interest are payable in
    one installment due 20 years after the anniversary date of the last
    payment request on the loan.
 
  The aggregate amount of all principal payments for the mortgage notes
payable are as follows:

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Cash and cash equivalents, cash-restricted and fixed rate mortgage notes

estimates the fair value of its long-term fixed rate notes payable generally
using discounted cash flow analysis based upon AMC's current borrowing rate
for debt with similar maturities.

The Board of Directors
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Gables at Brighton
Associates (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1995 and the related
statements of income, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Gables at Brighton
Associates at December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  Gables at Brighton Associates (the "Partnership") is a general partnership
that owned, operated, and managed an assisted living facility known as The
Gables at Brighton ("Property") located in Rochester, New York. On December
27, 1996 the Property was sold by the Partnership to a third party for net
proceeds of $10.4 million, resulting in a gain of $4.9 million. As of December
31, 1996 the proceeds from the sale have been distributed to the partners and
the Partnership has no assets or liabilities at that date.
 
RESIDENT FEE REVENUE
 
  Resident fee revenue was recorded when services were rendered and consisted
of fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with
additional services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs were expensed to
operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve
and/or extend the useful life of the asset were capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful life. Interest incurred during construction
periods was capitalized as a component of the building cost.
 
  Depreciation was calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of assets, which were as follows:

             <S>                         <C>
             Building and improvements.. 20-27.5 years
             Furniture and equipment....     5-7 years
</TABLE>
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnership pays no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnership is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  In connection with the operation of the Property, an affiliate of one of the
partners was entitled to management fees equal to 2.5% of resident fees and 5%
of cash flows, as defined. Amounts due to affiliate are for amounts due for
the above fees and are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors of
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Park Place
Facilities as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the related combined
statements of operations, changes in partners' capital/owners' equity and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Park Place Facilities'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Park Place
Facilities at December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the combined results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The Park Place Facilities ("Park Place") represents a combination of a
general partnership and a limited liability corporation described below
("Ownership Entities") that own, operate, and manage assisted living
facilities ("Properties"). The Properties are under the common management of
Senior Living Management Services ("SLM"). A principal of SLM also has
ownership interests in the Ownership Entities. Pursuant to the formation
transactions more fully described elsewhere in this Registration Statement and
Prospectus, the Park Place Facilities will be owned and operated by a newly
formed corporation Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (the "Company"), whose
shares are being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement.
 
  The Ownership Entities and Properties owned and operated by SLM are as
follows:
 
<TABLE>

         PARTNERSHIP                    PROPERTY                  LOCATION

Park Place General Partnership     Park Place Phase I        Spokane, Washington
Park Place II, LLC                 Park Place Phase II       Spokane, Washington
</TABLE>
 
  The combined financial statements include the operations of Park Place Phase
I from January 1, 1995 and Park Place Phase II from February 1996 (facility
commenced operations--special care facility in February 1996 and assisted
living facility in May 1996). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in combination.
 
RESIDENT FEES REVENUE
 
  Resident fees revenue is recorded when services are rendered and consist of
fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with additional
services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Properties were carried at cost which was not in
excess of net realizable value as determined by management. In March 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
under which the Partnerships would be required to recognize impairment losses
for the Properties when indicators of impairment are present and the
Properties' expected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the
Properties' carrying value. The Partnerships adopted Statement No. 121
effective January 1, 1996 with no impact on the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or
extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their
estimated useful life. Interest and other direct costs incurred during
construction periods are capitalized as a component of building cost.
 
  Depreciation is calculated using straight-line and accelerated methods over
the estimated useful lives of assets, which are as follows:
 
<TABLE>

      Buildings and improvements.................................. 27.5-39 years
      Furniture and equipment.....................................     5-7 years
</TABLE>
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Ownership Entities consider all cash accounts and money market funds and
certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
DEFERRED FINANCING FEES
 
  Deferred financing fees are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the mortgage notes payable.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Ownership Entities pay no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Ownership Entities is includable on the respective federal income tax returns
of the partners/members.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
2. CASH--RESTRICTED
 
  In accordance with mortgage note payable agreements described in Note 3, the
Ownership Entities are required to maintain escrow deposits for real estate
taxes, repairs, and other operating activities.

5. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Cash and cash equivalents, cash-restricted, fixed and variable rate mortgage
notes payable and other variable rate notes payable are reflected in the
accompanying combined balance sheets at amounts considered by management to
reasonably approximate fair value. Management estimates the fair value of its
long-term fixed rate notes payable generally using discounted cash flow
analysis based upon SLM's current borrowing rate for debt with similar
maturities.

USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
3. DEFERRED COST
 
  Deferred costs consist of the following:
 
<TABLE>

             Deferred leasing................ $187,243
             Deferred organization...........   44,479
                                              --------
                                              $231,722
                                              ========
</TABLE>
 
  No amortization expense was recorded in 1996.
 
4. LEASES
 
  BLC entered into a lease agreement (Lease Agreement) with Health and
Retirement Properties Trust (HRPT), to lease the Leased Facilities. The Lease
Agreement has an initial term of 23 years with options to extend the term for
two consecutive 25 year terms and requires monthly payments ranging from
$692,709 to $802,084. The Lease Agreement also requires additional rent
beginning in 1999 related to increases in revenue, as defined, generated by
the Leased Facilities. Future minimum annual rental expense to be recorded
over the term of the Lease Agreement is $9,510,877. Included in prepaid rent
and other at December 31, 1996 is $692,709 of prepaid rent related to these
leases. Included in other liabilities at December 31, 1996 is $13,309 for the
effect of straight-lining of rental payments in 1996, net of $9,430 for the
effect of straight-lining sublease rental payments in 1996 described below.
 
  The Lease Agreement provides for various operating covenants including that
the Company maintain a tangible net worth equal to one year's minimum rent.
The Lease Agreement provides that any demand notes receivable from the
Company's stockholder can be included in calculating tangible net worth (see
Note 5).
 
  The Company has subleased The Hallmark to Hallmark Partners, L.P., an
affiliate of PGI, under comparable lease terms with monthly lease payments
ranging from $490,834 to $568,334 over the life of the lease. Future minimum
annual sublease rental income to be recorded over the life of the sublease
agreement is $6,739,136. Included in prepaid sublease rent-affiliate at
December 31, 1996 is $490,834 of prepaid rent from this sublease.
 
  Rent expense in the consolidated statement of operations is recorded net of
sublease income of $74,875 received from the above sublease.
 
5. NOTE RECEIVABLE--STOCKHOLDER
 
  As described in Note 4 the Company is required to maintain a minimum net
worth equal to one year of minimum rental payments. The Company's stockholder
has provided a capital contribution evidenced by a note. The note bears
interest at prime, per annum, and is due on demand. The balance of the note
receivable will be adjusted as necessary for the Company to maintain the
minimum net worth requirement of the Lease Agreement.
 
6. INCOME TAXES
 
  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  Amounts due to affiliates are advances made by affiliates that bear interest
at prime rate and are due on the earlier of the closing of Brookdale's initial
public offering or January 1, 1998. Payments of amounts due to affiliates are
subordinated to payments required under the Lease Agreement.
 
8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
  The Company established 401(k) plans for all employees that meet minimum
employment criteria. The plans provide that the participants may defer up to
15% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis subject to certain
maximum amounts. The Company will contribute an additional 25% of the
employee's contribution to the plan, up to $500 per employee per annum.
Employees are always 100% vested in their own contributions and vested in
Company contributions over five years. The Company made no contributions for
the period ended December 31, 1996.
 
9. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Cash and the variable rate note receivable-stockholder are reflected in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at amounts considered by management to
reasonably approximate fair value.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Gables at Farmington
Associates as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the related
statements of income, partners' capital and cash flows for the period from
January 1, 1997 to September 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31,
1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Gables at
Farmington's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Gables at Farmington
Associates at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 to September
30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

January 2, 1996. The Lending Partner has not foreclosed on the mortgage note
payable and has left the terms intact.

third party and used the proceeds to repay the mortgage note payable.
 
  During 1997 and 1996, the Partnership made interest payments of $963,937 and
$1,293,778, respectively.
 
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

financial statements are the responsibility of Lincoln Harbor Village, L.P.'s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Lincoln Harbor Village,
L.P. at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 to September
30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Partnership will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note
3, the Partnership's operating property has a history of recurring operating
losses, and the Partnership is anticipating cash flow deficits for 1997. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of assets or the
amounts of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The Lincoln Harbor Village L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership
that owns and operates an assisted living facility known as The Harbor Village
(the Property) located in Chicago, Illinois. The Partnership has entered into
an agreement to sell the Property to Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. for
approximately $16.8 million.
 
RESIDENT FEE REVENUE
 
  Resident fee revenue was recorded when services were rendered and consisted
of fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with
additional services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs were expensed to
operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve
and/or extend the useful life of the asset were capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful life.
 
  Depreciation was calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of assets, which were as follows:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                           <C>
             Building and improvements.... 27-40 years
             Furniture and fixtures.......  5-10 years
</TABLE>
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnership pays no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnership is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE--AFFILIATE
 
  The Partnership has a mortgage note payable to one of the partners (the
"Lending Partner"), in the original amount of $16,200,000, collateralized by
the Property. The note bears interest of 9.625% per annum in monthly interest
only payments of $129,937 during the first 36 months of the note term, until
May 1993. Commencing in June 1993, monthly payments of principal and interest
in the amount of $137,698 are due until maturity on May 1, 2000, when the
entire unpaid balance of principal and interest is payable in full. During
1997 and 1996, the Partnership made interest payments of $1,137,790 and
$1,561,793, respectively.
 
3. ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OPERATIONS
 
  The Property has incurred recurring operating losses. In addition, the
Partnership anticipates that the Property will not generate sufficient funds
to meet future operating expenses and debt service requirements. The general
partner and certain of its affiliates have provided funding necessary to
sustain operations through September 30, 1997. However, the Partnership's
ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they
come due is ultimately dependent upon its ability to generate adequate cash
flow from operations, to obtain continued funding from affiliates of cash
deficits, or to obtain additional financing sources.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors
Brookdale Living Communities, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Brendenwood MRC Limited
Partnership as of September 30, 1997 and the related statements of income and
partners' deficit and cash flows period from January 1, 1997 to September 30,
1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of Brendenwood MRC
Limited Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Brendenwood MRC Limited
Partnership at September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 to September 30, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1997 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  Brendenwood MRC Limited Partnership (the Partnership) is a limited
partnership that owns, operates, and manages an assisted living facility known
as The Brendenwood Retirement Community (the Property) located in Voorhees,
New Jersey. The Partnership has entered into an agreement to sell the Property
to Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. for approximately $15.8 million.
 
RESIDENT FEE REVENUE
 
  Resident fee revenue was recorded when services were rendered and consisted
of fees for basic housing, support services and fees associated with
additional services such as personalized health and assisted living care.
 
REAL ESTATE
 
  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs were expensed to
operations as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve
and/or extend the useful life of the asset were capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful life.
 
  Depreciation was calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of assets, which were as follows:

             <S>                            <C>
             Building and improvements..... 5-40 years
             Furniture and fixtures........  5-7 years
</TABLE>
 
RESTRICTED CASH
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage note payable, the Partnership is
required to maintain a replacement reserve account to fund capital
expenditures associated with fixed asset replacements. The Partnership is also
required to maintain a tax escrow account for real estate taxes and insurance
payments. At September 30, 1997, the amount of the replacement reserve was
$308,981, and the amount of the tax escrow was $126,589.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Partnership pays no income taxes and the income or loss from the
Partnership is includable on the respective federal income tax returns of the
partners.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
 
  The Partnership has a mortgage note payable which requires principal and
interest payments at an interest rate of 8.45% per annum payable monthly. The
mortgage note payable matures February 2030. The Partnership made interest
payments of $697,432 during the period.
 
  The mortgage note payable is coinsured by the note holder and the Federal
Housing Administration of the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development under Section (S)221(d)(4) and pursuant to Section (S)244 of the
National Housing Act.
