A core-plus fund is an investment vehicle that mixes steady, low-risk assets with a smaller portion of higher-risk opportunities to boost returns — like a savings account that also holds a few growth stocks. For investors this matters because it aims to deliver more income and capital appreciation than a purely conservative fund while still keeping much of the portfolio focused on predictable, lower-volatility holdings.

DALLAS & NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lincoln Property Company (“Lincoln”), a global, full-service real estate firm, and PGIM’s real estate business (“PGIM”), the world’s third largest real estate investment manager, today announced the formation of a strategic joint venture partnership to pursue outpatient medical investments across the United States. The joint venture extends Lincoln and PGIM’s longstanding relationship and underscores a shared commitment to expanded healthcare real estate investment, uniting Lincoln’s extensive operational expertise within the sector and PGIM’s financial strength from over 55 years of successful real estate investment across diversified strategies and $213 billion of current AUM.

The joint venture was arranged by BlackBirch Capital, and it establishes a multi-year, national investment vehicle aimed at driving sustained growth and meaningful scale for both partners in the healthcare real estate sector. The partnership was formed to aggregate a bespoke portfolio of assets from the ground up, evidencing the mutual respect and trust between the firms to successfully execute a disciplined, long-term investment strategy.

“This partnership was a natural choice for Lincoln,” said Brian Bacharach, Executive Vice President at Lincoln. “Our firm has maintained a dedicated team of real estate professionals committed to the healthcare sector for nearly 30 years, and the formation of this venture with PGIM positions us to create significant scale by investing across a broad spectrum of opportunities and diverse geographies.”

“Lincoln has long held PGIM in high regard as one of the most significant and accomplished real estate investment managers, and we are thrilled about the opportunity to build an exceptional platform with their incredible team,” added Bacharach.

Lincoln’s national footprint and proven track record in the healthcare sector made the firm a desirable operating partner for this venture. With operations across all major U.S. markets, Lincoln brings significant scale and unparalleled access to local expertise and market intelligence.

The partnership represents a key component of PGIM’s core-plus fund as it further expands its exposure to sectors benefiting from demographic and technological tailwinds. “The evolution of healthcare and powerful demographic trends are creating sustained demand for high-quality medical and wellness real estate,” said John Sarokhan, Managing Director, Head of U.S. Equity Capital Markets at PGIM. “With our national platform and disciplined approach, we believe PGIM is well-positioned to capitalize on these long-term drivers. We are pleased to have a strong operating partner in Lincoln as we continue to invest in alternative sectors, including medical outpatient and senior housing, that can benefit from the growing need for accessible, modern real estate.”

Since forming the partnership, Lincoln and PGIM have already executed two initial acquisitions totaling 193,000 square feet: Imperial Medical Center in Sugar Land, Texas and 400 Taylor Medical Center in Pleasant Hill, California. The venture will continue to pursue Core Plus and Value-Add opportunities across the country, focusing on properties that serve as strategic outpatient care locations for a diverse group of healthcare providers.
