We specialize in owning, operating, and developing high-quality real estate focused on healthcare discovery and delivery. Our impressive portfolio includes nearly 50 million square feet of medical outpatient buildings, lab and life science facilities and Senior Assisted Living centers throughout the country.
Our mission
At Healthpeak, we give our Forward Deployed Software Engineers the autonomy of a startup with the backing, scope, and staying power of a well‑established organization. We exist to transform technology into a revenue‑generating arm of the real estate business, building products and platforms that directly support our tenants, partners, and the teams who serve them every day.

You will relentlessly prototype, test, launch, and scale new ideas—often moving from concept to production in the matter of weeks. Our first and most important customers are our peers inside Healthpeak, and our ultimate goal is to create delightful, seamless experiences for our tenants and partners by relentlessly minimizing friction.
