With pricing for healthcare facilities continuing to rise, physician groups are taking notice.
And while many are starting to look into selling, or “monetizing,” their real estate assets and re-investing the proceeds into their businesses in any number of ways, quite a few are taking the plunge and doing so.
Case in point can be found in Newburgh, outside of Evansville, where the region’s largest orthopedics group, locally based Tri-State Orthopaedics, which has multiple locations in the area, recently sold its flagship facility, the 48-bed, 135,000 square foot St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital at 10388 Warrick Trail.
The price was $88 million, or $652 per square foot (PSF), for the facility with 10 operating rooms and which Tri-State Orthopaedics developed and opened in 2019. It operates the facility in partnership with Indianapolis-based Ascension St. Vincent, whose 376-bed St. Vincent Evansville Hospital is a few miles away. The St. Vincent system is part of the country’s second largest healthcare organization, St. Louis-based Ascension Health, which operates 151 hospitals.
