NewPoint Expands Healthcare Platform with New Investment Sales Offering

Chevy Chase, MD (December 17, 2025) – NewPoint Real Estate Capital LLC (“NewPoint”) has hired Tim Cobb as Managing Director, leading the firm’s new healthcare investment sales platform, marking a significant expansion of the company’s capabilities. Based in NewPoint’s Chevy Chase office, Cobb will be responsible for launching and leading NewPoint’s new healthcare investment sales practice, adding brokerage services to the firm’s existing healthcare lending and advisory capabilities.

Cobb brings more than 25 years of experience across the senior housing and healthcare real estate sector, with a career defined by senior leadership roles spanning advisory, brokerage, banking, and business development. He has held leadership positions at Berkadia, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, KeyBank, and GE Capital. Most recently, Cobb founded COBB Healthcare Real Estate, a boutique advisory platform focused on investment sales and capital placement for healthcare and seniors housing owners, built on a client-first approach and deep institutional relationships.

“Tim’s expertise and long-standing relationships across the seniors housing and healthcare real estate sectors make him the ideal leader to launch our healthcare investment sales platform,” said Erik Lindenauer, President of FHA at NewPoint, who also leads the firm’s healthcare originations platform. “NewPoint has built a strong presence in healthcare lending, and moving into healthcare investment sales is a natural next step. Tim will play a critical role in broadening our capabilities and deepening our value to clients.”

With Cobb’s addition, NewPoint continues to expand its national healthcare footprint. The new healthcare investment sales platform will operate alongside and in collaboration with NewPoint’s healthcare lending practice, enabling the firm to provide clients with comprehensive solutions across a property’s lifecycle.

Cobb noted that the launch of the new investment sales platform aligns closely with his career focus and experience. “NewPoint brings exceptional scale and expertise to its clients, and I’m excited to join the world class team Erik has built,” Cobb said. “In today’s market, sellers need more than a broker; they need confidence in the capital, the buyer pool, and the timing of a transaction. That intersection has defined my career. With NewPoint’s established platform and deep healthcare financing capabilities, we are well positioned to help owners maximize value and execute transactions with clarity, certainty, and confidence.”
