A prominent British investment fund specializing in healthcare real estate, Assura, has made a decisive move that may significantly reshape the investment landscape in this sector. On Wednesday, the firm rejected a takeover bid from industry competitor Primary Health Properties. The deal, valued at approximately £1.5 billion (around $1.9 billion) and involving a mix of cash and equity, would have marked a pivotal consolidation. By turning down the offer, Assura left an American consortium as the sole active bidder, further highlighting the growing influence of international players in the healthcare real estate market.
