Remedy Medical Properties (“Remedy”) and Kayne Anderson Real Estate, together the nation’s largest private owner of healthcare real estate, today announced the acquisition of a portfolio of outpatient medical (OM) assets from Welltower. The portfolio comprises approximately 18 million square feet across 296 properties in 34 states, and this acquisition establishes the Remedy and Kayne Anderson Real Estate partnership as the nation’s largest owner of outpatient medical buildings, with more than 52.4 million square feet across approximately 1,104 properties in 44 states. Remedy will add 170 employees from Welltower as part of the transaction, expanding its team to over 500 employees across 60 offices nationwide.
