About Vital Capital Partners
About Us
The principals of Vital Capital Partners, LLC and its affiliate companies have developed, constructed, or advised on billions of dollars of commercial investment real estate with a primary focus on medical office and healthcare-related properties over the last decade.
The team has over two decades of experience in commercial real estate investment including acquisition and management. The Vital Capital platform is vertically integrated, with real estate investment, management, and development capabilities.
Our Experience
With over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry, the team at Vital Capital Partners has the expertise and knowledge to deliver results. We have a proven track record of success and are committed to providing the best possible service to our clients.
In addition to the recent launch of the DST platform, the principals have overseen and executed approximately $500 million in healthcare related investments through the HPA Growth Fund since 2014, which is an institutional fund that is fully deployed today.
Tax Advantaged Real Estate Investments
Headquartered in Orange County, California, HPA Exchange was created by the executive team of Healthcare Property Advisors (HPA), an experienced, vertically integrated healthcare real estate owner, investment manager and operator. Our principals launched Vital Capital Partners in 2024 with the goal of bringing our institutional real estate investment experience to the RIA, BD, and ultimately Accredited investors.
Tax Advantaged Real Estate Investments
Following the success of HPA Growth Fund, HPA Exchange was borne from the realization of a need and a desire to deliver institutional-quality medical real estate assets to private investors. We have built our platform specifically for broker-dealers, registered investment advisory firms and financial advisors looking to bring what has been a traditionally recession-resilient asset class to accredited investors to assist in diversifying their real estate portfolios.
The Real Estate Team
The principals of the Vital Capital Partners team are the real estate executives that run the real estate activities of HPA Exchange (HPAXchange.com) which is a DST sponsor platform launched in 2024 that provides financial advisors, registered investment advisory firms, broker-dealers and accredited investor clients with access to vital need-based real estate investment programs.
Experienced Fund Manager & Investment Professionals
In addition to the recent launch of the DST platform, the principals have overseen and executed approximately $500 million in healthcare related investments through the HPA Growth Fund since 2014, which is an institutional fund that is fully deployed today.
Alignment
Alignment is key to our investment philosophy and core to the long-term success of our firm. Our principals are aligned with our investors through personal investments in our funds. In addition, we make sure all of our partners have meaningful direct investments alongside our funds, thereby ensuring alignment with us and our investors.
Teamwork
We believe in a work environment built around teamwork, sharing ideas and respect for our colleagues. Our philosophy is simple: we expect our colleagues to be humble, to be supportive of one another and to treat others as they expect to be treated themselves. We are open to new ideas and encourage debate throughout our investment process, but such debates must be intellectually honest, respectful and constructive.
Honesty & Integrity
We hold our colleagues to high ethical standards in everything they do, both at work and in their personal lives. Upholding these standards is critical to ensuring our success today and in the future. Our reputation has been earned over more than twenty years – and we will not allow it to be compromised.
