Stability you can count on
Retail leasing moves quickly: short-term leases, frequent tenant turnover, and changing consumer patterns. Healthcare leasing is different. Providers invest heavily in their locations and build-out is expensive. That means long-term commitment and fewer disruptions. For you, that translates into fewer vacancies, less downtime and more predictable returns.
The lease term advantage
Healthcare tenants often sign initial terms of 7 to 15 years, plus renewals. That gives landlords and developers a clear horizon. Retail leases tend to be 3 to 5 years and rely on trend shifts. When you anchor a property with a healthcare tenant, you anchor it with purpose and staying power.
Fewer cycles, lower risk
Healthcare services are essential. Even when the economy changes, people still seek care. Retail businesses face shifting consumer habits, online competition and crowded categories. By choosing healthcare tenancy, your real estate remains relevant and resilient. That means better performance through cycles and higher value over time.
What this means for you
If you’re a developer or investor, think of healthcare tenants not just as occupants, but as strategic partners in long-term value. Choose sites that support care, align with patient access and accommodate build-out needs. When you do, you build assets that work both for the bottom line and the community.
Longer leases. Fewer vacancies. Stronger returns. When you build around healthcare tenancy, you build for stability, for growth and for people.
