The investment banking and strategic advisory firm exclusively specialized in the U.S. healthcare sector, Viper Partners, announced the launch of Viper Insight, a new division specialized in off-market medical real estate transactions, designed to connect healthcare asset owners with qualified institutional investors and buyers.
The initiative targets a segment that has been gaining traction among international investors and wealth structures with U.S. exposure: medical real estate assets with stable cash flows, low correlation, and a strong defensive component, traded outside traditional market channels.
Confidentiality, Access, and Transaction Control
Viper Insight focuses on off-market transactions, without public listing processes, in assets such as medical office buildings, ambulatory facilities, and properties controlled by medical groups. This approach allows sellers to preserve confidentiality while offering buyers access to opportunities that are not typically available on open platforms.
As explained by David Branch, founder of Viper Partners, the new division is built on a well-established network of relationships with both healthcare property owners and institutional and private capital. “Viper Insight was created to facilitate direct and efficient connections between both sides, in an environment where discretion and trust are essential,” he stated. The company is based in North Palm Beach, Florida.
This relational approach is particularly relevant in a context where many offshore investors prioritize access to private deals over standardized vehicles, seeking differentiation, income stability, and lower exposure to public market volatility.
Interest in medical real estate is not new, but it has intensified in recent years for several reasons that particularly resonate with international clients:
Long-term lease agreements, often linked to established medical practices.
Sustained structural demand, less dependent on the traditional economic cycle.
Dollar-denominated assets located in the U.S., a combination sought by international investors as a capital preservation tool.
Possibility of integrating these assets into broader estate and succession planning structures, common in offshore planning.
In this context, access to off-market transactions adds an additional layer of value by avoiding open competitive processes and allowing for a more strategic evaluation of the asset.
