BGLREP’s National Healthcare Practice specializes in representing and advising owners of healthcare real estate through a variety of transaction structures, including tax-deferred transactions, such as an UPREIT or a §1031 like-kind exchange, as well as an outright sale or equity recapitalization that enables owners to capitalize on current investment demand and historically high valuations while retaining a reduced level of real estate ownership.
