A Vertically Integrated Real Estate Company

Investment Approach

PCMS seeks clinical, administrative, research and manufacturing healthcare and life-science real estate investment opportunities from Denver west to the Pacific Ocean and select East Coast submarkets where we possess direct experience and active relationships. This includes support facilities such as housing, service retail and hospitality.

 

Prospective investments must meet the risk-return and underwriting requirements of our institutional and high net worth capital partners.

 

PCMA targets and structures investments of three principal types:

 

  • Core – stabilized typically all cash institution quality properties with sound credit tenant profiles ($20MM and up – little to no leverage);

  • Core Plus/Joint Venture – more opportunistic situations requiring redevelopment, releasing and enhanced management ($10MM and up – 50% to 75% leverage);

  • Small Assets – Triple net, targeted purpose, single or low number of occupants ($2MM to $10MM – 50% to 75% leverage)

Opportunistic Situations & Conditions

​

  • M&A – insurance and healthcare delivery and merchandising mergers (e.g. CVS/Aetna, UHG-Optum/Davita, etc.)

  • Consolidation – Disposition of aging hospital facilities and related medical office properties due to legislative initiatives (CA SB 1953) or private equity hospital acquisitions (Apollo/CHS, Abraaj/Advent-CARE, Humana- Kendred);

  • Portfolio Divestment - Forced break up and dispositions of for profit hospital systems (e.g. Tenet, CHS, etc.);

  • Disruptive Developments – trends toward outpatient care and technology driven delivery;

  • Outcomes Efficiency Focus – driven by ACA/legislative and tax reform (changes in payment programs and focus on outcomes);

  • New Market Entrants – Innovative and promising delivery and technology providers (One Medical, Forward, Clover Health, etc.)
