Ventas Launches Fund Targeting Life Science, Medical Office

Healthcare REIT Ventas has sponsored and formed the Ventas Life Science and Healthcare Real Estate Fund, L.P., a perpetual life vehicle that will focus on investments in core and core-plus life science, medical office and senior housing real estate.

The fund is expected to launch during the first quarter of 2020 with more than $700 million in assets under management and third-party equity commitments of approximately $650 million.

The new vehicle will utilize Chicago-based Ventas’s brand, industry expertise and team, providing a vehicle for core and core plus life science, medical office and senior housing real estate asset classes in North America and simultaneously benefitting Ventas’s public equity shareholders.

“This Ventas-sponsored fund is a natural opportunity to capitalize on our position as a trusted industry expert and innovator, and extend our track record of delivering outstanding returns to our public shareholders,” said Ventas CEO Debra A. Cafaro.

Connect Industrial Midwest is coming to Rosemont, IL on March 4. For more information, or to register, click here.
