Overview

Inherent to the DaVita’s operations are the reality that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is market sector experiencing growth. Given the fact that patients must make trips to dialysis centers on a routine basis, from a tenant perspective there will be revenues associated with the demand per building location. Additionally, the nature of their services includes customized equipment installations for each facility. This results in further assurance for net lease investors to see renewed leases at the end of each term. With the rising number of senior citizens in the American economy, the American Journal of Kidney Disease has presented statements concerning chronic kidney disease awareness. Therefore, anticipating the growing need for new dialysis centers continues to be projected. In particular, sample projections taken amongst all individuals above thirty years of age are quite telling. Statistical analysis shows expected increases from around 13 percent to 14 percent by 2020, then upwards of 17% by 2030.
