Fortress Investment Group bought the Sonata assisted living facility in Coconut Creek for $11.9 million.

The New York-based global investment manager bought the 94-unit, three-building property at 4175 West Sample Road from Denver-based Healthpeak Properties, according to a deed.

Healthpeak, a real estate investment trust led by Thomas Herzog, bought Sonata in 2007 from Orlando-based CNL Financial Group, records show. The price is unknown because a deed was not recorded.

Sonata was built in 1999 on 6.6 acres, according to property records.
