Healthpeak Properties, Inc. ("Healthpeak" or the "Company") (NYSE:DOC), a leading owner, operator, and developer of real estate for healthcare discovery and delivery, announced that Denis Sullivan is joining Healthpeak as Managing Director of Lab Investments & San Diego Market Lead and Mike Dorris has been promoted to Head of West Coast Development & Construction. These moves underscore the Company's conviction in the life science sector and position Healthpeak to capture investment and leasing opportunities as the market recovers.
Mr. Sullivan brings two decades of life science real estate leadership, with expertise spanning investments, operations, and capital strategy.

Reporting to Adam Mabry, Chief Investment Officer, and Scott Bohn, Chief Development Officer and Head of Lab, Mr. Sullivan will help drive Healthpeak's portfolio-wide Lab investment strategy and all aspects of the Company's leasing and asset management activities in San Diego, one of the country's most dynamic life science markets. He will focus on advancing Healthpeak's Lab business by building a robust pipeline of opportunities while leveraging Healthpeak's unique positioning to capitalize on the sector's recovery.
"Denis is one of the most accomplished leaders in life science real estate, with unique experience shaping and scaling portfolios and platforms," said Scott Brinker, Healthpeak's President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, "His proven ability to execute through cycles and create long-term value will be invaluable as we expand our Lab business."
Mr. Bohn added, "San Diego is at the center of global life science innovation, and Denis brings the knowledge, experience, and relationships to drive our platform forward in this critical market. His leadership will advance opportunities to fuel tenant growth and scientific progress."
Under Mr. Dorris's new role as Head of West Coast Development & Construction for Lab, he will expand the Company's expertise in specialized lab design and construction while strengthening its development and redevelopment capabilities, ensuring Healthpeak continues to create state-of-the-art spaces that support the discovery and development of breakthrough medical therapeutics and diagnostics. Mr. Dorris will continue reporting to Mr. Bohn.
Mr. Brinker concluded, "By combining Denis's investment leadership with Mike's technical expertise, we are strengthening every part of our platform—from sourcing opportunities to delivering innovative solutions for our tenants.
