FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CBRE Announces the Sale of 50,986 Square-Foot Medical Office in Burbank to GPI Companies for $23.9 Million
Transaction received strong interest and multiple offers
Los Angeles – Oct. 1, 2021 – CBRE announced the sale of a 50,986 square-foot on-campus medical office property in Burbank, Calif. for $23.9 million, or $468 per square foot, to GPI Companies, a locallybased, full-service commercial real estate investment, development, and operating firm.
Mark Shaffer, Anthony DeLorenzo, Chris Bodnar, Lee Asher, Gerard Poutier and Cody Chiarella with CBRE represented the seller, a private real estate investor.
This was the first time the property, located at 2701 W. Alameda Avenue, was made available for sale since it was built more than 50 years ago.
The building is 90.4 percent leased to a diverse mix of 22 medical tenants, with most of the space occupied by doctors on staff at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, located directly across the street. PSJMC is the primary market demand driver one of the largest employers in the San Fernando Valley. “The transaction received strong interest and multiple offers,” said Shaffer. “Well-located assets supported by strong underlying fundamentals continue to command robust buyer interest. In this case, the property’s value-add proposition in the near-term provides a compelling investment opportunity for the new owner to boost future value.”
Stable healthcare employment and strong medical tenant demand have helped buoy the medical office market in Greater Los Angeles and drive modest rent growth in the region, according to CBRE Research.
“Healthcare investors continue to target markets with strong tenant demand and proximity to a dominant hospital campus,” Chris Bodnar of CBRE’s Healthcare & Life Sciences Capital Markets. “The 2701 W Alameda property is very well positioned for the future.”
The Los Angeles’s medical office vacancy in the first half of 2021 stabilized at 10.5 percent and settled well-below the overall office market vacancy. Specifically, Burbank has one of the tightest medical office vacancies in Los Angeles, at 4.9 percent.
