Meridian Sells Dialysis Clinic in Palmdale, CA for $6.97 Million, 5.0% Cap Rate

SAN RAMON, CA - Meridian, a full-service real estate developer and owner of medical real estate, is pleased to announce that it has closed escrow on the sale of its 13,750-square-foot dialysis clinic in Palmdale, Calif.

 The purchase price was $6.97 million, representing a cap rate of 5.0%. This is the second dialysis clinic that Meridian has sold this year. Earlier this year, Meridian sold a similar clinic in San Rafael, Calif.


John Pollock

The Palmdale clinic is located at 38454 5th Street West in Los Angeles County, near the new Palmdale Regional Medical Center. In 2010, Meridian acquired several buildings and excess land that were owned by the lender General Electric Credit Equities, Inc.

The availability and low-land basis provided a unique opportunity to work with a dialysis provider to build a new state-of-the-art clinic in close proximity to the hospital with an affordable rent.  

According to Meridian’s COO John Pollock, “Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a fatal condition unless a kidney transplant is available or a patient undergoes dialysis, in which a machine filters toxins and fluids from the blood outside the body.

"In-center dialysis patients are treated approximately four hours a day, three times a week. There is a tremendous need to bring these types of services into the communities where patients live.”

This location, like many other that Meridian has developed, was located near patient need, says Pollock. “Having a visible outpatient facility provides easy access and convenience for patients and staff as they don’t have to navigate large and often confusing hospital entrances and parking garages,” Pollock explains.


Mike Conn
“It is all about the patient experience. Meridian expects this trend to continue in the coming years given the cost advantage and convenience factor of providing basic services in retail settings as opposed to higher acuity hospitals.”

Meridian’s Senior Vice President of Development, Mike Conn, was responsible for delivery of the clinic. “Through a coordinated team effort with our client, vendors and the city, we were able to construct a ground up OSHPD 3 clinic turn-key in less than seven months.” 

Conn added that “Speed to market, branding, and market share are becoming extremely important as providers compete for patients and physician groups. We provide synergistic solutions to healthcare systems that are faster and more cost-effective for them.”

Gary Stache and Bryan Lewitt of CBRE, based in the firm’s Newport Beach and downtown Los Angeles office respectively, represented Meridian, the seller. The buyer, a private investor based in the Central Valley of Calif., was represented by Five Star Land Company, Inc. in Wilton, Calif.

This transaction comes on the heels of Meridian’s sale of its 74,000-square-foot general office building located in Alameda County at 5776 Stoneridge Mall Road in Pleasanton, Calif. The purchase price was $15.5 million, representing a cap rate of 7.0%. The Pleasanton property was sold in September 2016.

PHOENIX, AZ – Lincoln Property Company (LPC) continued its award-winning property management track record at this year’s “The Outstanding Building of the Year” (TOBY), earning a TOBY for its management of Luhrs City Center in downtown Phoenix.

Phoenix’s annual TOBY awards are presented by the Arizona chapter of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA). They represent the industry’s most prestigious honor for excellence in building quality and management, with winners advancing to regional and international BOMA competitions.

LPC was awarded a 2016 TOBY for its management of Luhrs City Center, a National Historic Landmark mixed-use development located at Central and Jefferson – the geographic point of origin for downtown Phoenix.

“LPC and Invesco purchased Luhrs City Center in December and have worked diligently to build on the project’s vintage charm and potential, at a time when tenants are rediscovering downtown Phoenix,” said Lincoln Property Company Executive Vice President David Krumwiede. “It is an honor to be affiliated with the property and to be recognized for our efforts there.”

Built between 1924 and 1929, Luhrs City Center encompasses approximately 157,000 square feet of fully renovated office and retail space featuring red brick interiors and exposed beams. LPC and Invesco are nearing completion on a multi-million-dollar renovation that will further upgrade lobby, common areas and streetscapes at the project.

The Luhrs office project is part of Luhrs City Center, which is a full city block containing office, retail, a six-level parking structure and a new 19-story, 320-room Marriott hotel. Luhrs City Center is in the heart of downtown Phoenix, situated along the existing light rail line as well as the approved light rail extension down Central Avenue. It is home to the award-winning Bitter & Twisted cocktail parlour.

“Our management team has a deep background in office and retail space,” said Megan Watkins, Lincoln Property Company Associate Director of Management Services, who leads LPC’s property management portfolio in the region. “We’re thrilled to be able to apply that knowledge at such a landmark project, bringing a piece of the past into the present for today’s business market.”


David Krumwiede
The LPC management team at Luhrs City Center includes Assistant Property Manager Jessica Allen, Chief Engineer Tom Williams and Building Engineer Carlos Rodriguez.
