WEST CAMBRIDGE ALEWIFE ASSEMBLAGE

Through a series of eight separate transactions, Healthpeak has acquired, or is under contract on, $625 million of acquisitions totaling approximately 36 acres of largely contiguous income-producing properties and covered land plays in the Alewife submarket of West Cambridge. The estimated blended year-one FFO yield across the assemblage is 4.2%.

Healthpeak intends to capitalize on robust market fundamentals and tenant demand through the development of multiple Class A life science buildings over the next decade-plus, extending our leading position in West Cambridge. This 36 acre campus has convenient access to the Alewife T station, Route 2, and the Minuteman Bike Trail, which link Cambridge, downtown Boston, and the western suburbs.

In October, Healthpeak closed on an off-market acquisition in the Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego for $20 million.

The Vista Sorrento site is across the street from Healthpeak's 250,000 square foot Sorrento Summit Campus.

NEW MOB ACQUISITIONS

Since our last earnings call, Healthpeak announced it acquired 232,000 square feet of on-campus MOBs for an aggregate $137 million.

BAYLOR MOBs  

In September, Healthpeak acquired two Class A, on-campus MOBs totaling 138,000 square feet for $60 million in an off-market transaction. The properties are 89% occupied and are the only two MOBs on the campus of Baylor Scott & White's 118-bed hospital in Frisco, Texas. Baylor Scott & White (Moody's: Aa3) is ranked the #2 health system in the Dallas MSA and leases 37% of the properties' square footage. The acquisition adds to our market-leading MOB position in Dallas, bringing Healthpeak's ownership to over 4 million square feet in the MSA.

LAKEVIEW MOB

In October, Healthpeak acquired Lakeview Medical Pavilion, a 55,000 square foot on-campus MOB for $34 million in an off-market transaction. The property is on the campus of a 167-bed HCA hospital in Covington, Louisiana, part of the New Orleans MSA. The property, built in 2014, is 100% occupied with a weighted average lease term of 7 years. 

SWEDISH MEDICAL MOB

In October, Healthpeak acquired 700 Broadway, a 39,000 square foot on-campus MOB located in the downtown Seattle healthcare cluster known as "First Hill" for $43 million. The property is on the campus of Swedish Medical Center and connected via an underground tunnel to the hospital. The property is 100% leased to Northwest Kidney Centers, the world's first dialysis organization. The site includes structured and surface parking, providing future densification opportunities. The acquisition brings Healthpeak's total square footage on the campus of Swedish Medical Center to 610,000 square feet with a current occupancy of approximately 97%.

PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED MOB ACQUISITIONS

In July 2021, Healthpeak acquired three buildings totaling 537,000 square feet for $155 million in an off-market transaction. The properties are located in Morristown, New Jersey and are 100% leased to Atlantic Health System, the leading health system in New Jersey, under triple-net leases with approximately 11 years of remaining lease term. The transaction also includes an adjacent land parcel that can support up to 80,000 square feet of medical office development.

HCA WESLEY WOODLAWN MOB

In July 2021, Healthpeak acquired Wesley Woodlawn located in Wichita, Kansas for $50 million. The 132,000 square foot medical campus is 100% leased to HCA with approximately 6 years of remaining lease term.

LIFE SCIENCE DEVELOPMENT LEASING UPDATES  

THE SHORE

Interline Therapeutics, Inc. has signed a lease for the remaining 36,000 square feet at Phase II of The Shore at Sierra Point, bringing the entire 629,000 square foot campus to 100% leased or pre-leased. The lease is expected to commence in late 2022 upon completion of construction.

101 CAMBRIDGEPARK DRIVE

eGenesis, Inc. and Seres Therapeutics, Inc. have signed leases for a combined 142,000 square feet at 101 CambridgePark Drive, bringing the $180 million, 161,000 square foot development to 88% pre-leased. When combined with our adjacent life science holdings at 35 and 87 CambridgePark Drive, Healthpeak has created a flagship 449,000 square foot campus in the heart of West Cambridge.

VANTAGE DEVELOPMENT START  

In October, Healthpeak commenced the first phase of its next South San Francisco life science development project, Vantage. Strategically located on the corner of Forbes Boulevard and at the door-step of Genentech's headquarters, the first phase of the development will include approximately 343,000 square feet, with total project costs of approximately $393 million.

The purpose-built lab campus will feature state-of-the-art design, an amenity center, flexible and efficient floor plates, and building systems that will accommodate a broad range of life science uses. Expected initial occupancy is in the second half of 2023.

Healthpeak expects to pursue additional entitlements for the remaining acreage on the Vantage land site, enabling the development of a multi-phase campus totaling one million square feet based on existing zoning, with the potential for significantly more subject to entitlements.

BALANCE SHEET

In September, Healthpeak closed on an upsized $3 billion revolving credit facility extending maturity to 2026. 

During the third quarter, Healthpeak sold 9.1 million shares of common stock under the ATM equity offering program on a forward basis at an average price of approximately $35.60 per share (before underwriting discounts), which is expected to result in net proceeds of approximately $320 million.

CALCULATIONS

The estimated capitalization rates and yield ranges included in this release are calculated by dividing projected NOI or Cash (Adjusted) NOI for the applicable properties by the aggregate purchase price or development cost, as applicable, for such properties. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service.

The aggregate NOI or Cash (Adjusted) NOI projections used in calculating the capitalization rates and yield ranges included in this presentation are based on (i) information currently available to us, including, in connection with acquisitions, information made available to us by the seller in the diligence process, and (ii) certain assumptions applied by us related to anticipated occupancy, rental rates, property taxes and other expenses over a specified period of time in the future based on historical data and the Company's knowledge of and experience with the submarket. Accordingly, the capitalization rates and yield ranges included in this presentation are inherently based on inexact projections that may be incorrect or imprecise and may change as a result of events or factors currently unknown to the Company. The actual capitalization rates for these properties may differ materially and adversely from the estimated stabilized capitalization rates and yield ranges discussed in this release based on numerous factors, including any difficulties achieving assumed occupancy and/or rental rates, development delays, unanticipated expenses not payable by a tenant, tenant defaults, the results of purchase price allocations, as well as the risk factors set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its subsequent filings with the SEC.
