Middle-Income Housing

Middle-income housing stands out as the most resilient segment within multifamily real estate. Serving the largest and fastest-growing segment of U.S. renters, this sector benefits from stable employment among essential workers and high barriers to new supply due to rising construction and land costs. Virtus invests in diverse middle-income housing formats, including infill multifamily, build-to-rent communities, and family-oriented housing with attractive amenities.

Healthcare

Healthcare real estate is a cornerstone of the Virtus portfolio, driven by the aging U.S. population and rising healthcare needs. We focus on medical outpatient buildings, life sciences facilities, specialty healthcare properties, and senior living communities to address diverse care demands. These properties offer stable tenant profiles and high barriers to entry, making healthcare one of the most resilient commercial real estate sectors.

Education

Education real estate is a vital sector that supports students from early education through doctoral studies. Virtus focuses primarily on university and student housing, school infrastructure, and early childhood education facilities. These properties serve diverse demographic groups and often demonstrate countercyclical behavior, as enrollment tends to rise during economic downturns.

Title

Self-Storage

Self-storage facilities are integral to modern living and commerce, offering essential space solutions for households and businesses. Virtus invests in self-storage properties that provide adaptability in both urban and suburban settings, capitalizing on demand driven by lifestyle changes and economic shifts.
