Activist investor Jonathan Litt made his case to split Brookdale Senior Living Inc. into a real estate investment trust and senior-housing operator to members of the company’s management, according to people familiar with the matter.

Litt’s Land & Buildings Investment Management, which owns a 3.2 percent stake in Brookdale, has been pushing the company to explore ways to unlock the value of its real estate since 2016.
