Australian Unity's unlisted healthcare real estate fund has raised $170 million in two days as it seeks to drive its development pipeline, according to The Australian Financial Review.
The $1.2 billion Healthcare Property Trusts has $500 million in opportunities, according to AFR, including both greenfield and brownfield developments.
The Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust suspended new applications to invest 12 months ago, but on May 15, it opened its doors again to raise funds to help drive its pipeline.
By 3pm on May 16, Australian Unity had closed the offer after strong investor demand in the prior 24 hours.
The Trust continues to be active in developing new and existing property assets to improve healthcare services. In January 2017 the Corrimal Medical Centre was completed for Primary Health Care. Primary will lease the premises for an initial 15-year term.
Significant developments include Herston Specialist and Rehabilitation and Ambulatory Care Centre. In February 2017, the Trust announced it would build this $372 million public hospital as part of the $1.1bn Herston Quarter.
