While the headlines focus on high-tech offices and warehouses, one sector is growing quietly: private healthcare space. Dental clinics, medical aesthetics, physiotherapy, psychology, women's health and diagnostic centers. In 2026, this demand spans every region in Israel, changing the rules of the game for small and medium-sized properties.
Why This Is a Good Sector for Property Owners
Medical tenants invest substantial equity in fitting out the premises: water and drainage systems, electricity, air conditioning, acoustic insulation, accessibility and, in some cases, specialized protection. This type of investment creates a strong commitment to the location. A tenant who has invested hundreds of thousands of shekels in a fit-out will not relocate easily. The result is long-term leases and stable cash flow.
What Makes a Property Suitable
A short list determines whether a property will appeal to a medical tenant. Full accessibility, including an elevator and accessible restrooms. Available customer parking. The option to connect water and drainage in every room. Ceilings and a building envelope that allow for reasonable acoustic insulation. A location on a major route served by public transport. Finally, a permit allowing medical use, or a realistic option to obtain a change of use.
What Causes Deals to Fall Through
The first issue a tenant will raise is permits. A residential condominium with an apartment converted into a clinic can create problems with both the neighbors and the local authority. The second issue is electricity. A clinic with heavy equipment requires suitable electrical infrastructure, and unclear arrangements regarding the connection can delay deals by weeks.

How to Set the Rent
Clinic space is generally leased at a higher price per square meter than comparable office space because it requires a specialized fit-out and allows the tenant to generate high revenue per square meter. In return, the property owner must provide flexibility during the fit-out period and may sometimes need to share the cost of infrastructure upgrades. Such participation makes financial sense when it is built into the lease and recovered through the rent over the lease term.
Clauses That Must Be Included in the Lease
The first is regulation of the fit-out works: what may be done, who bears the cost, and what happens at the end of the lease. The second is professional insurance and liability. The third is the handling of medical waste. The fourth is operating hours, to prevent friction in the building. The fifth is a right of first refusal or an extension option, which is usually in both parties' interest.
What We Do in Practice
We identify medical tenants, structure the lease around the fit-out budget and manage the property throughout the lease term. In most cases, properly adapting a property for medical use increases the rent enough to recover the investment within a few years.
