Deal Spotlights

Project Shockwave

Description

The acquisition of a four-building, 201,078 square-foot Class A R&D campus in Santa Clara, California, fully leased to a premier medtech company.

Why it matters

Project Shockwave is 100% leased to Shockwave Medical, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, and serves as the company’s global headquarters and sole R&D facility. The asset benefits from specialized buildouts and more than $30 million of tenant-funded capital invested in the property, reinforcing tenant stickiness.

The HL advantage

Through our deep relationship with the local operator, we sourced a differentiated opportunity at a discount to recent comparable sales in a prime Santa Clara submarket favored by leading technology and AI companies.

The bottom line

Project Shockwave offers attractive cash yield, strong credit tenancy and mission-critical real estate in a premier innovation market positioned to benefit directly from the rapid growth of AI.

Project Coral

Description

The acquisition of a high-quality 10-property, 1.1 million square foot grocery-anchored, open-air retail portfolio in Florida and South Carolina alongside a best-in-class sponsor.

Why it matters

Project Coral represents a portfolio of high-quality, grocery-anchored centers across Florida and South Carolina, with seven of 10 assets anchored by Publix, a top-three national grocer with dominant regional market share. The portfolio is 93% occupied with a 5.8-year weighted average lease term and strong necessity-based tenancy. The assets have had very strong grocer sales and are located in affluent submarkets with a strong population and household incomes.

The HL advantage

Through our established relationship with the sponsor, we accessed a unique and high-quality retail portfolio alongside a best-in-class sponsor.

The bottom line

The retail sector can be challenging to access at scale due to smaller transaction sizing; however, our relationship with the sponsor enabled access to an institutional-quality portfolio of scale that provides a compelling risk-adjusted return and cash yield.

Project Patient

Description

The acquisition of a 296-property, 17.9 million rentable square foot high-quality medical office portfolio alongside a best-in-class sponsor.

Why it matters

Project Patient represents a unique portfolio of high-quality medical office buildings, diversified across 36 states and over 1,000 tenants, the majority of which are health-system related. The portfolio has strong occupancy and a long weighted-average lease term, supported by high-quality tenancy. The sponsor acquired this portfolio on an off-market basis at attractive pricing and discount to market trades.

The HL advantage

Through our established relationship with the sponsor, we accessed a unique and high-quality healthcare portfolio alongside a best-in-class sponsor that has deep healthcare expertise.

The bottom line

The medical office sector can be challenging to access due to fragmented ownership; however, through our relationship with the sponsor, we gained access to a large, institutional-quality portfolio that not only provides strong diversification across markets and tenants, but also generates a very compelling return and cash yield.
