LOS ANGELES – August 16, 2017 – CBRE Global Investment Partners (GIP) has acquired a 95 percent interest in a 25-building U.S. medical office portfolio. The investment was made on behalf of clients of GIP and marks an expansion of GIP’s investment into the medical office sector. Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (“KAREA”) and MB Real Estate Healthcare (“MBRE Healthcare”) will continue to operate the portfolio and hold a five percent ownership.
The portfolio comprises medical office buildings across 10 states with key concentrations in Atlanta and Chicago totaling 1.4 million square feet of existing space and a 150,000 square foot development project. The assets present a broad geographic exposure with a mix of both off-campus and on/near-campus locations. The portfolio is approximately 95 percent occupied, with key tenants including both national and regional healthcare systems along with high-quality specialists.
GIP will partner with the KAREA/MBRE Healthcare platform, a best-in-class owner/operator in the medical office sector, to continue to create value through leasing and repositioning, focusing on providing solutions to strengthen relationships with tenants and targeting capital expenditure in areas that create and improve a high-quality patient experience.
“The medical office sector has seen strong demand due to demographic drivers that have heightened consumer demand for health care,” said Ian Gleeson, CIO of CBRE Global Investment Partners. “Additionally the medical office sector features high tenant retention rates as tenants invest significant capital in their spaces and prefer to remain in the same location that is convenient for their patient base. We are pleased to partner with Kayne Anderson and MB Real Estate in this venture given their strong relationships with key tenants and industry participants.”
Al Rabil, Managing Partner and CEO of Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors, said, “We are pleased that CBRE Global Investors, one of the world’s largest real asset investment managers, is expanding their presence in the medical office space by acquiring a 95 percent stake in the best-in-class portfolio we have built over the past four years. This transaction provides the opportunity for the KAREA/MBRE Healthcare platform to continue to operate these assets to create value for CBRE Global Investors as well as the platform.”
Peter J. Westmeyer, Founder, President and Managing Principal of MBRE Healthcare, added, “This transaction is an exciting moment for the KAREA/MBRE Healthcare platform. Together, we have acquired and enhanced more than 10 million square feet of medical office space throughout the last four years. This particular portfolio of assets is a perfect opportunity for CBRE Global Investors to expand in the medical office business, and we are excited to further enhance operations and continue to strengthen tenant relations and occupancy across the portfolio.”
Evercore acted as financial advisor to KAREA/MBRE Healthcare, and Lee Asher and Chris Bodnar with CBRE’s Healthcare Capital Markets Group were advisors on the transaction.
