 NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 19, 2023 –  JLL’s Capital Markets group announced today that as exclusive advisor to Synovus Financial Corp., it worked to arrange the sale of a $1.3 billion medical office loan portfolio to Kayne Anderson Real Estate.

The portfolio consists of 106 floating-rate mortgages secured by 308 best-in-class medical office (“MOB”) properties. The properties are sponsored by a number of blue-chip institutional MOB investors.

 

With approximately 35% of the properties anchored by hospital systems, the portfolio totals just under 13 million net rentable square feet and is 92.3% leased on a long-term basis with a weighted average remaining lease term of nine years.


“As we disclosed during our second quarter earnings call, we believe exiting this line of business will be meaningful for the bank as the capital and liquidity from the sale will allow us to pay down higher-cost wholesale funding in the near term and improve our net interest margin and wholesale funding ratio,” said Jamie Gregory, Chief Financial Officer, Synovus. “In addition, by reducing risk-weighted assets, we expect to accelerate our path to targeted capital levels.”

“As one of the leading investors in medical office properties both as an owner and lender, our deep experience and tenured team in the sector equipped us to thoroughly evaluate this opportunity and move with speed and certainty to close,” said Al Rabil, Chief Executive Officer, Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and co-founder and CEO, Kayne Anderson Real Estate.

“We crafted a creative capital solution to purchase this attractive medical office portfolio from Synovus and expand our real estate debt platform,” added David Selznick, Chief Investment Officer at Kayne Anderson Real Estate.

“This transaction proves to the client’s credit, that liquidity not only remains for secondary loan sale offerings but is especially prevalent for high quality portfolios,” said Will Sledge, Co-Head of JLL’s Loan Sales team.
