Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

         On June 30, 2005, a subsidiary  of Capital  Senior  Living  Corporation
("Company")  entered  into lease  agreements  with  affiliates  of Ventas,  Inc.
("Ventas")  for  a  six  community,  approximately  $85  million  sale/leaseback
transaction.  The six  communities  ("Properties")  are  Crown  Pointe in Omaha,
Nebraska,  The Harrison in Indianapolis,  Indiana,  Villa Santa Barbara in Santa
Barbara,  California,  West Shore Village in Hot Springs,  Arkansas,  Cottonwood
Village in Cottonwood,  Arizona and The Amberleigh at Woodside Farms in Buffalo,
New York. The Properties have  approximately  950 units and a combined  resident
capacity of nearly 1200.

     Ventas entered into purchase and sale agreements to purchase the Properties
from joint ventures between the Company and affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate
Advisors  ("Blackstone").  The Company owns a 10% interest in the selling  joint
ventures.  The  purchase by Ventas will occur upon lender  approval,  regulatory
approvals and other customary closing conditions.  The Company currently manages
these Properties.

     The Company  entered  into  binding  lease  agreements  with Ventas for the
Properties.  Until  completion of the sale to Ventas,  the leases impose various
obligations  upon the  Company  regarding  cooperation  with  the sale  process,
obtaining  lender and regulatory  approvals,  payment of  transaction  costs and
various other obligations.  Upon closing of the sale to Ventas, the Company will
be required to commence rent  payments for the  Properties.  The initial  annual
rent for the Properties  under the leases is  approximately  $6,800,000 per year
payable monthly and are subject to conditional escalation  provisions,  which if
applicable  are  expected to average  2.5% per year over the life of the leases.
The leases have an initial term of ten (10) years and the Company has two 5-year
renewal  options.  The leases are  "triple  net"  leases  pursuant  to which the
Company  pays all  expenses of the  Properties  except  principal  and  interest
payments  on  the  debt  on  the  Properties.   The  leases  contain   customary
representations  and  warranties and  affirmative  and negative  covenants.  The
leases are guaranteed by another subsidiary of the Company.
