Deal Spotlights

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.

Project Madelon

Who they are

A fully stabilized 203-unit, Class A 2020 vintage multifamily property located in the highly desirable Mission District of downtown San Francisco.

Why it matters

Project Madelon, located in San Francisco’s Mission District, a hub for AI and technology companies, was acquired at a significant discount to both replacement cost and development basis. The property stands to benefit from an immediate mark-to-market opportunity, and further upside potential through light upgrades and improved property management and operations.

The HL advantage

Through our established relationship with the sponsor, we were granted early access to the process and co-underwrote the deal alongside the sponsor, receiving our full allocation ask.

The bottom line

San Francisco multifamily rent remains approximately 18% below pre-COVID peaks but is now rising, with 8% YTD rent growth as of Q2 2025 and declining concessions. Surging AI growth and return-to-office trends are fueling regional population inflow, creating attractive fundamentals for continued rent recovery and long-term value creation.

Project Trident

Description

The acquisition of 17 port-focused industrial assets, representing 5.2 million square feet, located across Houston, Jacksonville and Dallas.

​​​​​​Why it matters

Project Trident represents a high-quality portfolio of fully stabilized industrial assets located near major port and transportation infrastructure. The portfolio was assembled on an off-market basis, which led to an attractive discount-to-market pricing at entry. The portfolio is 98% occupied, with a well-diversified, national tenant base. The opportunity offers a 23% mark-to-market opportunity with near-term lease roll-over.

The HL advantage

Through our established relationship with the sponsor, we were granted early access to the process and co-underwrote the deal alongside the sponsor, receiving our full allocation ask at attractive terms.

The bottom line

The portfolio benefits from broader industrial tailwinds and was sourced off-market below market pricing, with accretive financing. Project Trident exemplifies high-quality industrial assets in top U.S. port and transportation markets.
