Healthpeak Plans $1 Billion Asset Sales in 2026
The company states: "We are capitalizing on strong private market demand for outpatient medical real estate by selling fully stabilized assets and recycling capital into higher growth opportunities, including highly strategic life science campuses in our core submarkets at what we believe is an attractive investment basis. We are well underway on our opportunistic capital recycling plan, including $1 billion of asset sales, recapitalizations, and loan repayments in 2026. These potential transactions would provide further flexibility to recycle capital into highly pre-leased outpatient medical developments at higher returns, acquire assets with significant upside, and/or repurchase shares. Our technology innovation initiatives are focused on automation, superior and faster decision-making, and better servicing our clients. We recently welcomed Omkar Joshi as Head of Enterprise Innovation to lead Healthpeak's technology, automation, and data initiatives and oversee the continued rollout of our agentic operating system to improve performance across the back office and tenant experience. Our earnings guidance for 2026 reflects the life science environment over the past several years, which peaked in intensity in the first half of 2025. We believe improvement in biopharma M&A and capital markets activity that started in Fall 2025 has continued into early 2026, new deliveries are minimal, and certain life science buildings are pivoting to alternative uses. This backdrop supports our view that life science real estate fundamentals are at or near an inflection point, while continuing to acknowledge that a full recovery will take time."
