FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Newmark’s National Healthcare Capital Markets Group Advised The Atkins Companies and Procured two Public REIT Purchasers
Philadelphia, PA (September 10, 2021) — Newmark announces that it has arranged the sale of a 250,000 square foot medical office portfolio comprising six assets developed, acquired and managed by The Atkins Companies, throughout Northeast & Mid-Atlantic US. Newmark Executive Managing Director Ben Appel, Senior Managing Directors Jay Miele and Michael Greeley, Managing Director John Nero, and Associates Ron Ott and Adam Goss of the firm’s National Healthcare Capital Markets Group advised Atkins and procured the pure-play medical office REIT purchaser.
The Atkins Companies has a more than 40-year track record of owning and operating first class medical office buildings throughout the country. The portfolio totals more than 250,000 square feet of recently constructed and renovated Class A medical office buildings, leased to a premier line-up of leading hospital and physician networks, including OSU Health (Moody’s Aa1), Ohio State University (Moody’s Aa1), Hartford Healthcare (Moody’s A2), OneOncology, Allegheny Health Network (Fitch A), and Radnet (Moody’s B2).
“The portfolio is a core collection of outpatient MOBs, with 7.5 years of WALT, located in high barrier-to-entry northeastern United States markets. Sitting at 100% occupancy, these properties have consistently outperformed,” said Appel. “The sale of these assets provides refreshed capital to Atkins Companies and its investors which supports the firm in the continued expansion of its portfolio in the sector,” added Miele.
Bob Atkins, Principal at Atkins Companies added, “While these properties differ in tenant makeup and location, each one speaks to our ability to successfully drive value from real estate development and investment by creating and managing spaces geared to the needs of today’s healthcare practitioners. We look forward to deploying the capital from this sale to purchase additional assets in the months to come and build upon our decades of success in this important asset class.”
The portfolio further benefits from a curated clinical space program comprising tenants across some of the medical sector’s most desirable specialties, including orthopedics, sports medicine, pain management, radiology, oncology, and primary care.
