CHICAGO, IL – Avison Young announced today that it has negotiated the sale of a four building, 74,42-square-foot medical office portfolio in Chicago’s suburban market.

The JOHA Cancer Center portfolio includes buildings located at 2614 W. Jefferson and 254 Republic Avenue in Joliet, IL; 668 Cedar Crossing Drive in New Lenox, IL; and 1600 W. Route 6 in Morris, IL. All four buildings are 100% leased to nationally recognized healthcare tenants with strong ties to local and regional healthcare systems.

Avison Young Principals Erik Foster and Mike Wilson, both based in the company’s Chicago office and members of the firm’s national healthcare capital markets group, represented the seller, a partnership of physicians associated with Joliet Oncology Hemotology Associates (JOHA). The Chicago team worked in conjunction with Avison Young Principals Chip Ryan and Jim Kornick in the firm’s Washington, DC office.

The buyer was Community Healthcare Trust, based in Franklin, Tenn. Financial details were not disclosed.

“The properties are mission critical for the tenants’ core cancer care operations, providing tremendous stability from an investment standpoint.” comments Wilson, “and with that drives significant cost as the properties traded at some of the highest per square foot pricing seen for MOB’s in the Chicago market”

The properties include:

  • 2614 W Jefferson Joliet, IL, a 39,171-sf building that is leased to Presence Cancer Care center and is adjacent to Presence Saint Joseph Hospital.
