Did you know veterinary real estate is an emerging sector with significant investment potential? Often overlooked, this niche market is gaining traction, and in this episode of PlotLines, we delve into the intricacies with Dan Eisenstadt, Founder and CEO of Terravet Real Estate Solutions.
In our conversation, Dan explains how the demand for more modern veterinary facilities has been driven by institutional capital and the evolving standards of veterinary care. He highlights how the traditional model of converted houses and strip centers is being replaced by purpose-built facilities designed to meet today’s needs. These facilities improve the experience for veterinarians, pet owners, and pets alike by incorporating specialized areas for surgery, diagnostics, and treatment.
Dan also discusses the creation of Terravet’s REIT, which offers veterinarians an opportunity to contribute their real estate in exchange for equity. This innovative approach allows them to diversify their investments and benefit from the growing veterinary real estate market without dealing with the complexities of property management. Terravet has grown rapidly, now managing over $220 million in assets across 62 buildings.
A key point Dan makes is the positive impact of institutional investment on veterinary care standards. By introducing regulations and oversight, these investments help ensure consistent, high-quality care. This shift not only benefits the pets and their owners but also creates a more attractive environment for veterinarians.
Tune in to this week’s episode to hear why Dan would “rewrite” the headline as “Veterinary and niche medical real estate is an emerging sector that can deliver better risk-return for investors.”
