Published on REJournals
The dental industry is witnessing a significant shift towards innovative financial solutions that enhance liquidity and operational flexibility for dental practices nationwide. CrownPoint Partners, a leading real estate investment and advisory firm, has recently closed over $51.4 million in dental sale-leaseback transactions spanning 14 states. This strategic move is empowering dental practitioners to unlock capital trapped in their real estate holdings while maintaining full control over their clinic operations.
What Is a Dental Sale-Leaseback Transaction?
A sale-leaseback is a financial transaction where a business sells its owned property to an investor and simultaneously signs a long-term lease to continue occupying the space. For dental practices, this arrangement transforms illiquid real estate assets into cash, helping to:
- Improve working capital
- Fund expansion or renovation projects
- Reduce operational burdens of property ownership
- Preserve continuity of practice operations
CrownPoint Partners specializes in structuring these sale-leaseback deals tailored to meet the unique needs of dental professionals, ensuring quick closings, optimal lease terms, and flexible financing solutions.
