IRVINE, CA – American Healthcare Investors, a commercial real estate investment firm that specializes in the acquisition and management of healthcare-related properties, announced Brian Peay has joined the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer.

The boards of directors of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Inc. and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., which are co-sponsored and managed by American Healthcare Investors, have also appointed Peay to serve as their chief financial officer.

Peay joins American Healthcare Investors from Veritas Investments, Inc., a private real estate investment management company with more than $2 billion of assets under management, where he served as chief financial officer.

 While with Veritas, Peay was the principal financial executive with oversight of fund accounting, investor relations, and sourcing and structuring of debt, as well as financial planning, corporate budgeting, tax structuring and management of all accounting functions for the firm.

“Brian Peay is an important addition to our executive team, bringing with him more than 28 years of experience as a financial professional, including extensive experience in commercial real estate investment,” said Danny Prosky, a founding principal of American Healthcare Investors and president and chief operating officer of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV.

“American Healthcare Investors is one of the largest managers of healthcare real estate in the nation with more than $8 billion in assets under management and one of the most successful sponsors of public non-traded REITs.
