Chiron Real Estate

What Chiron Real Estate does

Chiron Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: XRN), formerly Global Medical REIT Inc., is a publicly traded healthcare-focused real estate investment trust that acquires and leases mission-critical medical and senior living properties across the United States. The core portfolio comprises approximately 5.1 million leasable square feet of net-leased healthcare facilities — medical office buildings, outpatient facilities, surgical centers, post-acute facilities, and rehabilitation hospitals — anchored by physician groups and regional healthcare systems such as MercyOne. Properties are leased under long-term triple-net contracts with a 5.1-year weighted average lease term, 95.4% leased occupancy, and 2.1% annual rent escalations, producing $115.3 million of annualized Cash NOI as of Q1 2026.

In February 2026 the company rebranded to Chiron Real Estate and initiated a strategic pivot from a pure medical office REIT toward a diversified healthcare real estate platform, anchored by entry into seniors housing operating properties (SHOP). In May 2026 Chiron agreed to acquire three Silverstone Senior Living communities — The Landing, The Riviera, and The Pinnacle — for an aggregate $425 million, closing the first two in June 2026 (292 combined homes) under a third-party operating agreement with Greystone Communities. The pivot is funded by a $100 million delayed-draw convertible perpetual preferred equity investment from Maewyn Capital Partners (closed May 2026 at a 6% dividend) and supplemented by a $150 million uncommitted senior unsecured note facility from New York Life.

The company also operates a Capital Solutions arm providing sale-leaseback transactions, forward funding, build-to-suit investments, mezzanine credit, and lending to healthcare providers and senior housing developers. Capital structure includes common stock and Series A, B, and C preferred tranches, with leverage at 44.7% of total gross assets and a 7.2% weighted average interest rate on $663.4 million of consolidated debt as of Q1 2026. Chiron is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, with 11-50 employees and a leadership team including CEO Mark Decker Jr. (formerly CEO of Centerspace), CIO Alfonzo Leon, CFO Robert J. Kiernan, COO Danica Holley, and General Counsel Jamie Barber.
