Healthpeak Properties Provides Strategic Initiatives Update and Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Audio By Carbonatix

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 23, 2025--

Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (NYSE: DOC), a leading owner, operator, and developer of real estate for healthcare discovery and delivery, today provided a strategic initiatives update and announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND COMMENTARY

• Outpatient medical demand is growing faster than new supply, which, combined with our leading platform and deep health system relationships, is driving strong cash re-leasing spreads including +5.4% in the quarter, higher annual escalators including +3% on leases signed in the quarter versus +2.7% on the existing portfolio, and low tenant improvement outlays which represented less than 5% of rent on renewals signed in the quarter. Total occupancy was up +10 basis points sequentially.
• Private market values for outpatient medical buildings have strengthened as inflation and interest rates have declined. We are in various stages of negotiation on opportunistic sales and recapitalizations that could generate proceeds of $1 billion or more at attractive prices. We would use proceeds from any such sales/recaps to further strengthen our balance sheet and recycle capital into highly pre-leased new outpatient medical developments, acquire distressed and opportunistic lab properties with significant upside, and/or repurchase shares. Our merger with Physicians Realty Trust has proven timely, as we have benefited from these strengthening prices. Our merger integration is complete, and was highly successful.
• We believe there has been a palpable shift in sentiment across the biopharma sector since the start of the school year driven by M&A activity, clinical data readouts, lower interest rates, reduced regulatory uncertainty, and biopharma stock price performance. The improved sentiment will take time to flow through to leasing executions, but we’re already seeing a pickup in leasing activity. Our pipeline is at its highest level since Q2 2024, and with a higher allocation toward new leasing. While we still expect our Lab occupancy to decline near-term due to expirations and early terminations, the recent trends suggest the underlying biopharma sector may be approaching an inflection point.
• NOI from our 15-asset CCRC portfolio is up more than +50% since 2019, and year-to-date same-store growth is up +11% over the prior year. We see further upside potential from higher occupancy and margin expansion. Total occupancy was up +70 basis points sequentially.
• We are deeply engaged in advancing our technology innovation initiatives. The early rollout of our tech-enabled platform has already improved company-wide connectivity, data access, and productivity, including a 5% reduction in our G&A guidance this year. Over time, the tech platform we’re building is intended to deliver more than just efficiency gains. We believe it will enable new ways to engage our clients and leasing prospects, enhance property performance, and drive differentiation versus other owners.
• Our strong balance sheet (5.3x debt/EBITDA) and well-covered dividend (71% AFFO payout ratio year-to-date) remain key strengths of the platform, allowing us to deploy capital opportunistically.
