Pan-European investors on HBI 2019's Investing in Property panel discussed the sector - but it was one speaker's "flexible design" concept prompting criticism from an operator in the audience which provoked the biggest discussion.
This week delegates from around the world descended on London for HBI 2019 to discuss the healthcare market and its various sub-sectors. Here are the things we learnt:
Spanish real-estate investor and financial healthcare specialist Healthcare Activos has appointed a new CEO in preparation for its European expansion next year. We speak to the founder and former CEO about the company's plans, which include becoming Europe's newest healthcare-only REIT.
Belgian real-estate investor Aedifica SA has acquired a large portfolio of UK care homes and entered the market for the first time. At a time when margins are being squeezed and groups in this sector have proved slow to sell generally, is this a wise move? We ask three experts for their views.
US real-estate investor Heitman has entered the Dutch elderly care market with the acquisition of De Leyhoeve, a high-end assisted living facility for the elderly. We speak to a Dutch market expert about its business model, which takes a luxurious approach to assisted living.
With BMI Healthcare announcing on Monday that it had agreed a rent reduction with its major landlord, we talk to sources and discuss what really happened at the UK's largest hospital chain.
UK hospital operator BMI Healthcare has announced a major financial restructuring which it says will bring its operating company and 35 of its hospitals "back under common ownership", confirming Healthcare Europa's predictions last week.
Healthcare Europa talks to UK healthcare property expert Max Broadbent, director at Colliers International, about the market, trends, and areas to watch.
HBI speaks exclusively to the broker behind a record real estate deal in Europe, after Medical Properties Trust (MPT) sold a 50% stake in its Median Kliniken portfolio in Germany for over €800m.
The Saudi Arabian government has released its draft PPP law. We look through the 50-page document which covers foreign ownership, labour laws and real estate, and speak to Colliers International's head of healthcare in MENA who tells us as far as the last of these is concerned, there is a pleasant surprise.
