The ASC Sale-Leaseback Opportunity
Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) owners are increasingly using sale‑leasebacks to unlock the equity tied up in their buildings. By selling the property to an investor and signing a 10‑15‑year triple‑net lease, physicians retain operational control while converting real‑estate assets into cash. The structure improves EBITDA, boosts valuation multiples, and lets owners fund debt paydown, expansions, or technology upgrades. Timing the transaction 5‑10 years before retirement maximizes pricing, as investors prioritize long lease terms, tenant creditworthiness, and market‑based rent.
