Greene Park Capital co-founder Carrie Hiebeler has launched an investment arm focusing on opportunities across healthcare real estate in the UK and Europe.
The move comes amid rapidly growing demand for healthcare services.
The team, comprising Tom Hoppe, Ben Jones, Wesley Layug and Hugh Risebrow, will advise and partner with investors to help them find and actively manage the right investment opportunities.
In addition, the team will work with healthcare real estate operators to help them attract the capital to build out their platforms.
Hoppe is a former senior director at banking advisory firm Gleacher Shacklock, while Jones has worked as head of real estate long income at M&G for 13 years.
Layug has spent past five years at debt and equity investor Ventas, while Risebrow is chief executive of Larchmore Associates, a consultancy that supports public and private sector healthcare organisations to develop and implement strategy and to create partnerships.
Hiebeler said: “Healthcare in the UK and Europe is on the precipice of major changes and Greene Park Capital Europe is well prepared to be in front of that transformation.
“Given the cost of financing and the fact that many public REITs are currently out of the market, the basis where we can purchase healthcare real estate alongside our capital partners is becoming increasingly attractive. We predict the result could be outsized healthcare returns over the next five to seven years.”
