Dental offices backed by the largest dental support organization in the U.S., and what to check on the lease, from a NNN buyer’s broker with 225+ transactions.
A Heartland Dental NNN property is a freestanding dental office, usually about 3,000 to 7,000 square feet, leased on a NNN lease of about 10 years, often with annual rent increases. Heartland Dental is the largest dental support organization (DSO) in the U.S., with more than 2,000 supported offices in 38 states and Washington, D.C., and it is majority owned by the investment firm KKR.
Dental is a needs-based, internet-resistant use, which is why these properties appeal to many NNN buyers. But Heartland is a private, non-investment-grade company (S&P B), and Heartland supports affiliated practices, so confirm exactly which entity signs or guarantees each lease. Solid Investments FL helps buyers sort this out, and our buyer representation is always free to you.
