Three-property core medical office portfolio in Charlotte,NC trades for $31.4 million

Mindy Berman
  

BOSTON, MA – JLL Capital Markets has closed the $31.4 million sale of a three-property, core medical office portfolio totaling 72,499 square feet in Charlotte, North Carolina.

 JLL marketed the portfolio on behalf of the seller, The Keith Corporation (TKC), a privately held, full service commercial real estate firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.


Pete Pittroff
TKC is a preeminent healthcare developer in the Southeast, developing more than 35 healthcare related projects.

The purchaser is Chicago, IL-based Remedy Medical Properties (“Remedy”), the largest private owner of medical properties in the United States.


 The portfolio consists of Mission Hospital McDowell Medical Office Building at 430 Rankin Dr. in Marion; Steele Creek Medical Office Building at 13425 Hoover Creek Blvd. in Charlotte and Tryon Medical Partners – Matthews at 630 Matthews Township Pkwy in Matthews.

The two single-tenant and one multi-tenant facility are 97% leased overall to leading regional and national healthcare providers, including health systems, Novant Health and Mission Health (HCA), and major area physician practice groups, Tryon Medical Partners and Charlotte Radiology.

Brannan Knott 
Two of the three properties were recently constructed or renovated by The Keith Corporation and offer state-of-the-art medical facilities such as surgery centers and advanced diagnostics; the Steele Creek property was jointly developed by The Keith Corporation and Sportsmed Properties.

 

The portfolio is located throughout high growth submarkets of Charlotte, which have seen upwards of 20% population growth since 2010, which is driving outsized demand for healthcare services through the region.

  More than $1 billion in new hospital facility construction in Charlotte illustrates this demand for services and is paralleled with expansion in outpatient care in key locations throughout the region.

Daniel Flynn
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director and Co-head of the Healthcare Practice Group Mindy Berman, Senior Managing Director Pete Pittroff, Senior Director Brannan Knott and Director Daniel Flynn.

 


“The Keith Corporation offering was highly-sought after by investors given the swell in investment appetite for medical properties during the global pandemic,” said Berman.

“The Charlotte properties exemplified the most appealing qualities that institutional investors seek – solid tenancy from dominant healthcare providers, location in a desirable high-growth U.S. metro and new construction with nearly 13 years of average remaining lease term.”
