ANNAPOLIS, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Thomas Park Investments today announced it has entered into a programmatic joint venture with a global health care real estate investment trust (REIT).

“Advancing this joint venture aligns Thomas Park with a market-leading health care REIT”

The joint venture:

  • Broadens Thomas Park’s investment strategy to territories beyond the mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
  • Allows Thomas Park to offer tax-advantaged purchases for sellers willing to consider an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (UPREIT) structure.
  • Allows Thomas Park to be an even more nimble buyer with all cash purchases.
  • Allows the REIT to access Thomas Park’s pipeline of off-market opportunities.
  • Allows the REIT to have a partner that can soundly execute on both value-add and core plus business strategies.

“In today’s choppy capital markets, it’s great to have a partner who sees beyond near-term static and looks toward long-term value creation,” says Thomas Park CIO Alex Kopicki. “We believe in the long-term value of the medical office space and its ability to continue to produce resilient returns.”

Three assets have been purchased under the joint venture, including:

  • Raleigh, North Carolina (8300 Health Park) – This 178,000-square-foot medical office building is Thomas Park’s first entry into the Carolina market. The property was acquired off-market in June 2022 and is a value-add opportunity anchored by Carolina Family Practice & Sports Medicine (Duke) and Boylan Healthcare (UNC).
  • Baltimore County, Maryland (8322 Bellona Avenue) – This 56,000-square-foot medical office building was acquired off-market in July 2022 in a partial sale-leaseback. The building is anchored by Towson Orthopaedic Associates, part of the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center.
  • Lawrenceville, New Jersey (2 Princess Road) – This 64,000-square-foot medical office building was purchased in October 2022 and is anchored by Unified Women’s Healthcare and Urology Management Associates. This value-add deal will receive an extensive investment to accelerate additional leasing activity over the next 24 months.
