Stars
Campus-Adjacent Medical Office Buildings
Campus-adjacent medical office buildings are the core growth engine as systems move procedures to outpatient sites on or next to hospital campuses; demand rose 12% from 2019–2024 for on-campus ambulatory space, per CBRE Health Care Research (2025).
These assets command premium rents—average $38.50/sq ft triple-net in 2024 vs $27.10 for off-campus MOBs—and sustain >95% occupancy with long-term leases from health systems.
They need heavy up-front capital: average development cost $420–560/sq ft in 2024 for campus projects, yet offer the highest long-term value upside, often outperforming core net-lease MOB returns by ~150–250 basis points.
Top-Tier Market Clusters
Concentrated Healthcare Realty holdings in Dallas, Houston, and Charlotte drive scale and lower per-sqft operating costs, with metro rents up 6–9% year-over-year and occupancy at ~95% as of 2025.
Dominating sub-markets boosts capture of physician referrals—clusters account for ~40% of system referrals in those metros, raising tenant retention and rent renewal rates by ~150 basis points.
Rapid metro population growth (Dallas +1.8% 2024, Houston +1.5%, Charlotte +2.2%) forces continuous capex; Healthcare Realty invested $120M in 2024 to expand capacity and protect market share.
Life Science and Research Integration
Life Science and Research Integration targets mixed-use clinic-lab facilities, tapping a niche that saw global VC biotech funding hit $81.3B in 2024 and US life-science real estate demand grow 14% YoY through Q3 2025.
These capital-intensive assets attract institutional tenants (research institutes, biotechs), command rent premiums of 15–25% over standard medical office rates, and show higher occupancy resilience.
Positioned as BCG Stars, they drive portfolio growth despite higher capex, with development yields often exceeding 7% IRR on biotech clusters.
Technology-Enabled Property Management
Healthcare Realty’s investment in proprietary leasing and tenant-management platforms fuels its Technology-Enabled Property Management star, supporting 12% same-store NOI growth in 2024 and helping win 18% more leases vs. peers with legacy systems.
These tools improve tenant experience, reduce churn by ~25% and cut operating costs ~8%, enabling faster roll-up of assets from smaller landlords as the healthcare real estate sector digitizes.
- 12% same-store NOI growth (2024)
- 18% higher lease wins vs. legacy peers
- ~25% lower tenant churn
- ~8% operating cost reduction
Strategic Health System Partnerships
Joint ventures with national health systems are a star for Healthcare Realty, driving high growth and share: 2025 pipeline includes 18 projects worth $1.2B, with pre-leasing rates above 90% locking occupancy before completion.
These deals require heavy upfront cash—development capex averaging $67M per project—but secure long-term NNN leases and position Healthcare Realty to dominate emerging medical corridors.
- 2025 pipeline: 18 projects, $1.2B total
- Pre-leasing: >90% occupancy at delivery
- Avg capex: $67M per project
- Long-term NNN leases: contract terms 10–25 years
Campus MOBs & tech-driven ops fuel 12% NOI growth, $38.50 rents, >95% occupancy
Campus-adjacent MOBs and tech-enabled property management are BCG Stars for Healthcare Realty, driving strong rent premiums (avg $38.50/sq ft vs $27.10 off-campus in 2024), >95% occupancy, 12% same-store NOI growth (2024), and pipeline growth (18 projects, $1.2B, >90% pre-leased for 2025).
| Metric | Value |

| Avg rent (campus MOB, 2024) | $38.50/sq ft |
| Occupancy | >95% |
| Same-store NOI growth (2024) | 12% |

Cash Cows
Stabilized On-Campus MOBs
Stabilized on-campus medical office buildings (MOBs) hold high market share with average occupancy near 95% in 2024, requiring only routine capex (~1–2% of asset value annually) and delivering predictable net operating income that covers operating costs plus debt service.
These cash cows produced roughly $210M in stabilized MOB rent in 2024 for Healthcare Realty (HR), funding dividends and seeding 2025 growth investments in outpatient and ambulatory assets.
Multi-Tenant Suburban Facilities
Established multi-tenant suburban medical offices produce steady cash flow for Healthcare Realty, with average cap rates near 6.5% in 2025 and vacancy below 7% for core suburban assets, so minimal promotional spend is needed.
Long-term leases—median remaining term about 6.8 years—and diversified tenants (physicians, imaging, outpatient) create high switching costs, reducing turnover and rent volatility.
These assets generated roughly 38% of company NOI in 2024, serving as liquidity anchors that cover interest expense and support a 2025 net-debt/EBITDA target near 5.0x.
Third-Party Property Management Services
Third-party property management and leasing turns Healthcare Realty’s operating know-how into high-margin fee income—management fees ran near 12–18% EBITDA margins in comparable REIT services in 2024, so this arm boosts profits without capital deployment.
The unit sits in a mature outpatient/medical-office service market where Healthcare Realty (now a major REIT) is a recognized leader, managing thousands of leases and reducing vacancy risk for owners.
Steady management fees—about 5–10% of Healthcare Realty’s non-rental revenue in 2024—provide recurring, lower-volatility cash flow that underpins corporate infrastructure and covers fixed G&A.
Legacy Single-Tenant Assets
Legacy single-tenant assets—properties leased to single, creditworthy institutional tenants on long-term net leases—act as high-share, low-growth stabilizers for Healthcare Realty, delivering steady NOI with minimal management or capex needs.
These assets produced ~7–9% cash yields in 2025 for comparable REIT portfolios, driving high profit margins and providing predictable free cash flow to fund new growth initiatives.
- Long-term net leases: single institutional tenant
- Low capex & oversight: near-zero management burden
- High margins: ~7–9% cash yield (2025 comps)
- Function: milked for cash to fund portfolio growth
Fixed-Rate Debt Instruments
Healthcare Realty's portfolio holds approximately $3.6 billion of fixed-rate debt locked at sub-4% coupons from prior cycles (2020–2022), creating a cash cow by preserving a spread vs. portfolio average leased cap rates near 6.5% and protecting NOI margins in a mature medical-office market.
That spread converts to higher free cash flow: on a $1.2 billion stabilized rent roll, ~200–250 bps net interest advantage retains roughly $24–30 million annually before capex and taxes.
- Locked debt: $3.6B at <4% (2020–2022)
- Average leased cap rate: 6.5%
- Interest spread: ~200–250 bps
- Estimated retained FCF: $24–30M/yr
High-occupancy MOBs drive $210M rent, strong NOI and $24–30M retained FCF
Stabilized on-campus and suburban MOBs—~95% occupancy in 2024—generated ~38% of HR’s NOI and ~$210M rent in 2024, with median lease term 6.8 years and cap rates ~6.5% (2025 comps), funding dividends and 2025 growth while low capex (1–2% asset value) preserves cash flow; $3.6B fixed-rate debt <4% yields ~200–250 bps spread, retaining ~$24–30M FCF annually.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| 2024 stabilized rent | $210M |
| NOI share | 38% |
| Occupancy | ~95% |
| Median lease term | 6.8 yrs |
| Avg cap rate | 6.5% |
| Fixed-rate debt | $3.6B @ <4% |
| Estimated retained FCF | $24–30M/yr |
