710 Newnan Crossing Bypass, Newman, Ga.
(Wilmington, DE) Anchor Health Properties (Anchor), a national full-service healthcare real estate development, management, and investment company focused exclusively on medical facilities, recently completed the acquisition of two medical office buildings in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. Totaling over 45,000 square feet, 721 Wellness Way in Gwinnett, Georgia and 710 Newnan Crossing Bypass in Newnan, Georgia are strategically positioned in growing submarkets adjacent to key hospitals in each respective market. Anchor acquired the assets on behalf of the Chestnut Healthcare Fund, a discretionary equity fund focused on the acquisition and development of medical office assets across the US.
The Newnan building is located adjacent to the Piedmont Newnan Hospital. The Gwinnett building is located adjacent to the Gwinnett Medical Center (which has just announced a pending merger with Northside Hospital). Anchor tenants at the Newnan building include Avail Dermatology and Piedmont Healthcare who provide services that include general surgery, dermatology, and a Mohs surgery center. Anchor tenants at the Gwinnett building include Northside Hospital and Northeast Endoscopy, with complementary tenancy including gastroenterology, imaging, and family medicine rounding out the tenant roster. The medical office buildings are both 100% leased.
“With our continued growth we are always seeking new opportunities to expand our presence in existing investment markets and we are truly excited to complete this lightly marketed acquisition,” said James Schmid, Chief Investment Officer with Anchor. “We are excited about the expertise, resources, and energy that the Anchor group brings, and we are confident that the continued relationship with Piedmont Healthcare and Northside Hospital will secure the legacy of excellence that has been established in the area, building upon our large acquisition with Piedmont Healthcare in the Oconee submarket in 2018. The Newnan and Gwinnett medical office buildings are ideally located to serve the growing patient population and we look forward to working closely with the physician leadership in the years ahead as we seek to further strengthen its position in the marketplace.”
