Healthcare Realty Trust owns and manages medical office buildings and other outpatient properties, mostly on or near hospital campuses. It rents space to doctors, physician groups, hospitals, and health systems that need convenient places for patient visits, diagnostic services, and administrative work. In simple terms, it is a landlord for healthcare real estate.

The company makes money mainly from long-term lease income. Tenants pay base rent, and in many cases also help cover property expenses such as maintenance, taxes, and utilities. Because its buildings are tied to the everyday needs of healthcare providers, the business depends less on retail-style foot traffic and more on the stable demand for medical services.

What makes its model different is its close link to the healthcare delivery system. Medical office properties are built around how doctors and hospitals serve patients, so location and tenant relationships matter a lot. Healthcare Realty Trust sits between capital and care delivery: it owns the buildings, provides the space, and collects recurring rent from healthcare users who need dependable, long-term locations.
