         This Amendment No. 1 ( "Amendment") to the Statement on Schedule
13D dated May 19, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D") filed jointly by Fortress
Registered Investment Trust, a Delaware business trust ("FRIT"), Fortress
Investment Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FIF"), Fortress
Fund MM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FFMM"), Fortress
Investment Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FIG"), and
Fortress Investment Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("FIH"; together with FRIT, FIF, FFMM, and FIG, collectively, the
"Reporting Persons"; individually, a "Reporting Person"). This statement
relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
Stock"), of Brookdale Living Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.

         Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

         See response to Item 6.

ITEM 5.

         Item 5 (e) is hereby amended and supplemented to add the
following:

         As of July 26, 2000, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the
beneficial owners of any shares of the Issuer.

ITEM 6.

         Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

                  On July 26, 2000, Health Partners and Capital Z Ltd.
("Capital Z") executed a binding contribution agreement (the "Contribution
Agreement") pursuant to which Health Partners agreed to contribute the Company's
$100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Notes (collectively, the "Convertible Note") to Fortress Brookdale
Acquisition LLC ("Purchaser") in exchange for 40.7% of the membership
interests in Purchaser. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the
Convertible Note will be contributed to Purchaser on the date immediately
following the expiration or earlier termination of the Offer (as defined
herein). On July 26, 2000, Purchaser entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of July 26, 2000, by and among Fortress Registered
Investment Trust, Purchaser, FBZ Acquisition Corp. and the Company (the
"Merger Agreement") which contemplated an offer to purchase for cash the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (not already owned by
Purchaser) at $15.25 per share (the "Offer"). As of August 1, 2000,
Purchaser commenced the Offer which is currently scheduled to expire
September 5, 2000. As described in Purchaser's Amended and Restated Limited
Liability Company Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2000, by and between the
Fortress, Purchaser, Health Partners and Capital Z (the "LLC Agreement"),
the parties thereto have agreed Purchaser will operate as a separate,
stand-alone entity with independent governance provisions, and will not
take any significant action, including any with respect to the conduct of
the Offer and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
without the approval of two-thirds of Purchaser's Operating Committee (as
defined in the LLC Agreement). The Operating Committee members in
accordance with customary fiduciary duty precepts direct the affairs of
Purchaser for the benefit of equity holders taken as a whole rather than
for the benefit of any particular equity holder. Purchaser will make all
investment and voting decisions with respect to the securities of the
Company.

                  Accordingly, as of July 26, 2000, the Reporting Persons
ceased to be the beneficial owners of any shares of the Issuer.


ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

1.4      Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement
         of Purchaser, dated as of July 26, 2000, by and among
         Purchaser, Fortress Registered Investment Trust and
         Health Partners.

1.5      Contribution Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2000, by and
         among Purchaser, Fortress Registered Investment Trust and
         Health Partners.
