Why Partner With Ventas

  • Sector Specialization: A leading S&P 500 real estate investment trust (REIT), Ventas operates at the intersection of healthcare and real estate, each representing approximately 20% of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). Investing in, owning and managing real estate assets in the life science, senior housing and other healthcare spaces is our only focus. These demographically driven assets require specialized expertise and relationships to deliver consistent superior returns.
  • Scale & Diversification: With a ~$30 billion enterprise value, we utilize scale, best-in-class processes and proprietary knowledge and relationships from our outstanding portfolio of approximately 1,400 properties to enhance capital allocation and returns. Diversification amongst our five demographically driven verticals - Senior Housing, Life Science, Research & Innovation (R&I), Medical Office, Health Systems and Post-Acute Care - enables continuous investment activity through cycles. Our deep understanding of each asset class also informs and enhances our success across the healthcare spectrum.
  • One Ventas, One Team: Access to a proven, long-tenured interdisciplinary team of over 200 professionals, including Ventas’s engaged executive management, supported by state-of-the-art resources and proprietary analytics.
  • Best-in-Class Partnerships: In healthcare real estate, it is essential to underwrite, create and maintain best in class, long-term partnerships with leading life science companies, research universities, health systems and care providers and developers. Our existing arrangements and knowledge provide a competitive advantage that creates investment opportunities and helps drive operating performance.
  • Highly Fragmented $1 Trillion Market with Powerful Demographics: The growing yet highly fragmented $1 trillion healthcare real estate market is ripe for continued consolidation and additional investment. The growth in the market is supported by the rapidly expanding cohorts of both baby boomers and the over 80 population which together are projected to represent over 20% of the US population by 2030, responses to a once-in-a-century pandemic and scientific breakthroughs such as cell and gene therapies.
  • ESG Leadership: Ventas is widely recognized for commitment to and implementation of smart environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies that are essential to delivering long-term superior results, resilience and sustained excellence. Learn more about ESG at Ventas
