DaVita Tenant Overview

Tenant Description

DaVita is the leading provider of kidney care in the US, delivering dialysis services to patients.

Investors like DaVita's small price point and the fact that kidney dialysis is a growth industry. Investors take security from the tenant's investment in the build out of the property along with the installation of specialty trade fixtures that make it less likely for the tenant to leave at lease expiration. The very nature of DaVita's business, kidney dialysis, requires clients to visit routinely and consistently, which in turn produces a reliable income stream for that location. The medical industry as a whole is poised for future growth and net lease investors are recognizing the stability this lends.

As the population in the United States ages, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease will rise according to a report published in the American Journal of Kidney Disease. Adults, ages 30 and older, who have CKD is projected to increase from the current 13.2% to 14.4% in 2020, and 16.7% in 2030. These projections continue to support the demand for dialysis centers and the growth in this industry.
