Healthcare Property Acquisitions & Dispositions in Ontario and Alberta
Buying or selling a healthcare property is unlike any other commercial real estate transaction. The value of a medical office building, long-term care home, retirement residence, dental clinic, or ambulatory care centre is tied to clinical operations, regulatory approvals, occupancy structures, and the specific needs of healthcare tenants and operators.
Whether you are looking to buy healthcare real estate, sell a medical building or clinic, or access off-market healthcare property opportunities across Ontario and Alberta, PRAXIS is Canada's dedicated healthcare commercial real estate broker.
PRAXIS brings a rare combination: the financial discipline of a commercial real estate broker, the clinical and regulatory literacy of a graduate Public Health education, and the market intelligence of a practice that exclusively serves healthcare. Every underwriting exercise accounts for clinical constraints that generalist brokers miss entirely — whether that is Ministry of Health bed allocation for an LTC home, RHRA licensing for a retirement residence, infection control standards for a dental clinic, HEPA filtration and biosafety level requirements for a medical laboratory, radiation shielding and structural loading for a diagnostic imaging suite, or ASHRAE 170 ventilation compliance for an ambulatory surgical centre. These are not surface-level considerations — they are the difference between an asset that functions for its intended clinical use and one that requires expensive remediation after close.
For buyers, PRAXIS identifies and underwrites opportunities that fit your operational and investment strategy — sourcing on and off-market, conducting clinical and financial due diligence, and negotiating terms that reflect the true value of healthcare-specific attributes such as regulated use permissions, clinical infrastructure, and anchor tenant quality.
For sellers, PRAXIS positions your asset to the right buyer pool — institutional investors, REITs, operators, and physician groups — with marketing that articulates the clinical and financial value of your property accurately and compellingly.
Coverage spans all Ontario markets — Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Barrie, Kingston and beyond — and all Alberta markets including Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, and Fort McMurray.

Healthcare acquisitions — answered
PRAXIS advises on the full spectrum of healthcare real estate asset types — medical office buildings (MOBs), long-term care homes, retirement residences, assisted living facilities, dental clinics, orthodontic practices, veterinary clinics and animal hospitals, diagnostic imaging centres, ambulatory surgical centres, primary care clinics, dialysis centres, rehabilitation centres, pharmacies, and medical mall investments across Ontario and Alberta.
Healthcare real estate has clinical, regulatory, and operational dimensions that standard commercial brokers are not equipped to assess. The value of a medical office building or LTC home is tied to tenant covenant strength, licence continuity, Ministry of Health funding streams, clinical lease obligations, and capital requirements that are invisible to a generalist broker. PRAXIS underwrites these factors as standard practice on every mandate.
Yes — PRAXIS provides both buy-side and sell-side advisory. For buyers, this includes off-market sourcing, clinical and financial due diligence, offer structuring, and closing coordination. For sellers, PRAXIS positions the asset to the right buyer pool — institutional investors, REITs, operators, and physician groups — and manages the full transaction process including marketing, negotiation, and closing.
PRAXIS operates across Ontario and Alberta — including Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Brampton, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Pickering, Barrie, Kingston, Peterborough, Cobourg, Calgary, Edmonton, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and secondary markets throughout both provinces.
Yes. A significant portion of healthcare real estate transactions occur off-market — physician group sales, LTC portfolio dispositions, and medical building transfers are frequently not listed publicly. PRAXIS maintains active relationships with healthcare operators, developers, and property owners across Ontario and Alberta that provide access to opportunities before they reach the open market.
