Vital Capital Partners (VCP) is a vertically integrated real estate investment platform that acquires, invests in and actively manages institutional-quality healthcare-centric properties throughout the United States. We believe that the demand for healthcare real estate facilities will steadily increase over the next decade as a result of a variety of demographic, economic and regulatory trends.

We leverage our national relationships for proprietary deal flow access with health systems and physician groups, as well as local and regional build-to-suit developers who seek to monetize assets through outright sale or sale-leaseback transactions. VCP invests in what has been a historically recession-resilient ambulatory medical asset class, as well as more niche specialty outpatient healthcare real estate that has proven to provide steady, long-term cash flows, rent stability and predictable occupancy patterns.

VCP’s platform is vertically integrated, with capabilities across property and construction management, asset management, equity and debt capital markets, and leasing and transaction management – led by an executive team, each with 20+ years of experience in the medical/healthcare real estate sector.
