BluePrint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors

What BluePrint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors does

BluePrint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors is a U.S. healthcare real estate advisory firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Chicago, with additional offices in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and Austin, Texas. The firm is exclusively focused on seniors housing, skilled nursing, behavioral healthcare, and medical office properties, and operates as a licensed real estate broker across 26 states through Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, LLC and the wholly-owned subsidiary Blueprint HCRE of California, Inc. Its core service lines are investment sales advisory (buy-side and sell-side representation for portfolios and individual assets), capital markets (debt placement and refinancing through the Blueprint Capital Markets sub-brand), and — following the March 2026 acquisition of MidCap Financial Services' FHA/HUD lending platform — long-term FHA/HUD origination and servicing.

The firm's underlying technology stack is modest and human-centric: a centralized analytics team under Executive Managing Director Ryan Chase completes 350+ valuation assignments per year, supplemented by a client-facing Blueprint Portal for transaction management and document workflow. The platform does not expose public APIs or developer SDKs, and there are no AI/ML modalities disclosed. Business model revenue is transaction-based — advisory and brokerage commissions on investment sales, plus placement fees on debt and HUD loan origination/servicing economics — with fees negotiated individually per engagement rather than through published pricing. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales executed by senior advisors (Executive Managing Directors, Managing Directors, Senior Directors) covering distinct U.S. regions, supported by industry-event presence (NIC conferences), the Drawing the Blueprint Podcast, email newsletters, and an extensive done-deals case study library on the firm's website. Customer concentration sits with institutional investors, public REITs, private equity sponsors, and regional/national operators, with named mandates including National Health Investors, National HealthCare Corporation, Aegis Living, Optalis, Northstar Senior Living, and Alta Senior Living.

Broad incumbents

• Colliers: Colliers has a dedicated healthcare real estate services team offering investment sales and advisory across seniors housing and medical office. It is comparable as a healthcare RE advisor to institutional clients, but is far broader in scope.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Cushman & Wakefield's Healthcare Practice Group advises on seniors housing, MOB, and hospital transactions. It is comparable to Blueprint on healthcare RE investment sales but operates as a diversified global CRE platform.
• CBRE Healthcare: CBRE operates one of the largest healthcare RE advisory practices globally, covering seniors housing, MOB, and hospital transactions. Comparable as a healthcare RE advisor to institutional clients but with vastly greater scale, capital markets reach, and diversified service lines than Blueprint.
• Newmark Group: Newmark has built out a healthcare capital markets practice offering investment sales and debt/equity placement for seniors housing and medical office. It overlaps with Blueprint on healthcare RE mandates but serves a broader CRE client base.
• JLL Capital Markets: JLL is a global CRE services firm with a dedicated Healthcare Capital Markets team handling seniors housing, medical office, and life sciences investment sales and debt advisory. It competes with Blueprint on institutional healthcare RE mandates but as part of a much broader, multi-product platform.

Direct peers

• Walker & Dunlop: Walker & Dunlop is a leading CRE finance and advisory firm with a dedicated healthcare and seniors housing lending platform. Comparable to Blueprint because it serves the same institutional healthcare RE clients (REITs, operators, PE) with debt placement, investment sales, and HUD/FHA financing — directly overlapping with Blueprint's core services.
• Lancaster Pollard: Lancaster Pollard is a specialized healthcare and senior living real estate investment bank focused on seniors housing, skilled nursing, and MOB financing, including FHA/HUD lending. Closely comparable to Blueprint as a niche healthcare RE advisor with strong HUD lending capabilities.
• Berkadia: Berkadia is a top CRE advisor with a strong seniors housing and healthcare practice covering investment sales, debt origination (including HUD), and equity placement. Like Blueprint, Berkadia is a specialized healthcare/seniors housing advisor serving REITs and operators — competing for the same mid- and large-cap healthcare RE mandates.
• Ziegler: Ziegler is an investment bank specializing in healthcare and seniors housing, providing M&A, capital markets, and balance sheet financing. Comparable to Blueprint's transaction advisory and capital markets work for healthcare RE and operator clients.

Others

• Capital Funding Group (CFG): CFG is a healthcare-focused capital markets and HUD/FHA lending firm providing debt placement and refinancing solutions. Comparable to Blueprint's BPCM and newly acquired HUD platform; one of Blueprint's senior leaders (Steve Thomes) previously worked at CFG Capital Markets.
