Medical Properties Trust Inc. (MPW) has announced a significant lease agreement with NOR Healthcare Systems, encompassing six facilities under a master lease with an initial annualized rent of $45 million. The deal, which supports cash flow visibility and strengthens the company's target of exceeding $1 billion in pro rata annualized rent by the end of 2026, was announced on August 28, 2025 [1].
