About Universal Health Realty Income
About Universal Health Realty Income
Universal Health Realty Income Trust holds 77 real estate investments across 21 states, anchored by six hospital facilities — three acute care and three behavioral health — leased to subsidiaries of Universal Health Services. UHS-affiliated tenants generated approximately 40% of the trust's consolidated revenue in 2025, with the six UHS hospital leases alone contributing about 24% of revenue. The portfolio also includes medical office buildings, free-standing emergency departments, and childcare centers spanning states such as Texas, Florida, and Nevada.
The trust earns revenue through long-term net leases on hospitals, medical office buildings, and free-standing emergency departments, with the six UHS hospital leases unconditionally guaranteed by UHS and cross-defaulted with one another, plus bonus rent on McAllen Medical Center tied to the hospital's quarterly revenue. Lease escalators on the UHS hospital portfolio compound annually at rates ranging from 2% to 2.75% depending on the property. The trust is externally managed: UHS of Delaware, Inc., a wholly owned UHS subsidiary, serves as Advisor under an agreement dating to 1986, and the trust's officers are all employees of that UHS subsidiary rather than direct hires. Growth comes from ground-up medical office development on hospital campuses, including an approximately $34 million Palm Beach Gardens, Florida project master-leased 75% to a UHS subsidiary, and the recently completed approximately $35 million Sierra Medical Plaza I in Reno, Nevada.
Show full overview
Because UHS operates the trust's most significant hospital assets and also serves as its external Advisor, the trust's dependency on a single counterparty runs deeper than typical REIT tenant concentration. The 10-K flags that UHS and its subsidiaries face pending legal actions, government investigations, and stockholder litigation, and directs investors to UHS's own SEC filings for details since those matters could affect UHS's ability to make lease payments. UHS also holds purchase options on several hospital properties exercisable at fair market value upon lease expiration or a change of control of the trust, a structural feature that could shrink the portfolio if UHS chooses to buy out leased facilities rather than renew.
