What’s Coming This Week in Medical Commercial Real Estate

Under-the-radar shifts are lining up this week, and they’ll matter—even if no press release calls them headline.

📌 Connecticut Hospital Sale Auction in Motion

Prospect Medical Holdings is edging closer to a court-supervised auction of its Connecticut hospitals—Waterbury, Manchester Memorial, and Rockville General. This follows emergency loans and mounting pushback from the Connecticut Attorney General, who’s accusing Prospect of “vulture capitalism” and seeking a formal role in the sale process. Watch for bidders, asset roll-up scenarios, or liability shifts—it all impacts downstream CRE valuation assumptions. 

🏥 continued momentum in Lenexa City Center

Lenexa’s hospital-plus-MOB campus officially opened mid-July. The first phase includes a 44-bed hospital and a 56,000 sq ft medical office building. Tenant move-ins are starting and lease-up plans for future clinic space are slated through 2026. This is a live benchmark for suburban hospital-plus-outpatient modeling in pipeline strategies. 

💰 HUD loan volume still rising

Senior housing is still buying. HUD Section 232 financing is at its highest level in a decade, with forecasts signaling more capital flow into stabilized assisted living and skilled nursing assets. Borrowers still using express-lane pathways and aggressive underwriting remain front of queue. 

🧭 Adaptive reuse alert

San Antonio cleared a medical office-to-residential conversion this week for Highpoint Towers. While not medical-open space, it signals how markets are adapting. Healthcare CRE watchers should track where live-work-play conversions start intersecting with physician housing, workforce housing, or asset repositioning in med corridors. ()

Why It Matters

• Changing ownership dynamics: Prospect Medical’s case affects valuations and capital structure assumptions across legacy sale-leaseback assets.

• New benchmarks: Lenexa City Center is now live—a textbook case for inpatient-aggressive outpatient asset modeling in growth regions.

• Stable financing environment: HUD and GSE are still funding senior housing, reinforcing cap stack predictability for stable operators.

• Use alternatives emerging: Office conversions reflect shifting use cases that may influence future CRE synergies with healthcare.
