Downing Healthcare Real Estate

Downing provides senior and wholesale lending debt solutions secured against healthcare and social infrastructure assets, targeting attractive risk-adjusted returns with a focus on capital preservation and downside protection. Unlike traditional real estate lenders, our investment approach recognises these assets as operating businesses, combining credit expertise with a deep understanding of the underlying healthcare sector.

Reflecting our focus on investments that matter, we provide institutional investors with access to essential healthcare infrastructure that supports the delivery of care. Through rigorous underwriting and specialist sector knowledge, we seek to create resilient loan portfolios designed to perform through market cycles.
