Overview

Healthcare & Medical Office Properties covers medical office buildings (MOBs), outpatient facilities, life-science/lab space, and healthcare-related real estate. It is a favored, defensive CRE sector benefiting from demographic tailwinds (an aging population) and the structural shift of care to outpatient settings, led by healthcare REITs (Healthpeak, Welltower, Ventas, Physicians Realty).

Demand is driven by aging demographics, outpatient migration, and stable, healthcare-tenant credit, with medical office prized for durable occupancy and recession resistance. Life-science real estate boomed then cooled as biotech funding tightened. It is consolidating around healthcare REITs and a defensive, demographically-supported segment.
