Brea-based Healthcare Property Advisors has launched HPA Exchange LLC, a real estate investment sponsor that will provide accredited investors with private placement opportunities anchored by medical properties. The platform will initially focus on Section 1031 exchange offerings.

HPA Exchange will target healthcare real estate within secondary growth markets that exhibit strong operating fundamentals, stable health system environments and a growing aging population. Its management team averages 25 years’ experience in healthcare real estate, including co-presidents Thùy Turner and Robert Lee.

“The healthcare industry has historically been recession resilient with predictable occupancy rates, paving the way for the potential of long-term reliable cash flows and strategic value-add opportunities,” said Turner. “Non-high-acuity healthcare is also transitioning from large acute care environments like hospitals to well-located and well-designed strategic ambulatory care, typically closer to neighborhoods.”

1031 Crowdfunding, a real estate investing platform and sponsor of Delaware Statutory Trusts concentrated in the senior housing sector, launched 1031CF Bridge Fund III, a finance fund with a value-add component that targets commercial real estate assets in the senior living space. The fund aims to generate attractive returns for investors while positively impacting communities.

“We are excited to introduce Bridge Fund III as part of our ongoing effort to deliver value and growth opportunities to our investors,” said Edward Fernandez, president and CEO of Irvine-based 1031 Crowdfunding. “The senior housing asset class presents unique opportunities to address the increasing demand for these facilities as the Baby Boomer generation, the second largest in the U.S., continues to age.”

Bridge Fund III will focus on financing value-add, undercapitalized, or otherwise underperforming commercial real estate assets in the senior housing space, and to bridge such assets to their potential through efficient management, improved leasing and occupancy rates, revenue-enhancing expenditures and cost controls.
