Property upgrades will include new building lobbies, the addition of common area improvements, parking upgrades, and state-of-the-art elevators and mechanical systems. 

Lee Asher, Chris Bodnar and Scott Herbold of CBRE represented the undisclosed seller in the transaction. Ed Cross and Brent Smith of Cushman & Wakefield San Antonio Commercial Advisors advised the buyer. Chad Gunter of Transwestern will lead leasing efforts on behalf of the new owners.

“As part of our mission to deliver top-quality medical space, our investment in these properties will be patient-centric, physician-friendly and community-minded,” said Kyle O’Connor, President of MLL Capital.
