News Release: Montecito Medical Acquires Surgery Center in Virginia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 20th, 2019

Nashville, Tenn. — Montecito Medical Real Estate, a leading owner of medical office buildings throughout the U.S., has finalized the acquisition of a premier medical office building and surgery center in Goochland, Virginia.

The property, with just under 70,000-square-feet, is 86 percent-occupied. The building’s anchor tenant is the MEDARVA Stony Point Surgery Center at West Creek which houses 6 operating rooms. The state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) and is licensed by the Virginia Department of Public Health.

The asset offers a full range of services including primary care, cardiovascular services, spine center, gastroenterology, OB/GYN and plastic surgery. The class A facility was constructed in 2015, with a 9,000-square-foot expansion completed in 2017 and is equipped with the most advanced technology and surgical instrumentation for the group’s outpatient surgical and medical procedures.

The building is located in the West Creek Business Park, one of the Richmond region’s premiere business parks in Goochland County, at the intersection of State Route 288 and West Creek Parkway. In May 2018, a joint venture between Sheltering Arms Rehab Institute and VCU Health broke ground on a 114-bed, 200,000-square-foot hospital at 2000 Wilkes Ridge Parkway, located adjacent to the subject property.

“I am from Richmond and know this growing and affluent area very well. Our team was extremely impressed with this medical office building and surgery center and we enjoyed working with Lingerfelt Commonwealth Partners to get this exceptional real estate closed,” explained Chris Conk, a principal at Montecito Medical. “As we approach the end of the year, we still have two additional assets to close to wrap up our best year ever – we’re looking forward to an exciting 2020”

Several other healthcare tenants occupy the building, including Commonwealth Primary Care, Virginia Cardiovascular Services, National Spine and Pain Center, Virginia Oculofacial Surgeons, Virginia Physicians for Women, Richmond Plastic Surgeons, Richmond Gastroenterology Associates, and West End Facial Plastic Surgery.

News Release: Gantry Arranges $60,000,000 in Financing for Pair of NE Medical Assets

Transaction Details

•  Loan Amount: $60,000,000 Combined

•  $31,000,000 Davis Square Center

$60,000,000 in Financing Arranged for Pair of NE Medical Assets

Morristown, NJ & Somerville, MA, (December 19, 2019) – Gantry (formerly Newmark Realty Capital, Inc.), the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the U.S., arranged $60,000,000 in refinancing for two (2) medical office properties located in the Northeast region. The borrower was a Southern California-based healthcare REIT.

Gantry arranged $31,000,000 in financing for Davis Square Center, a 100,699-square-foot medical center in Somerville, MA, and $29,000,000 in financing for Morristown Plaza, a 166,750-square-foot medical tower in Morristown, NJ. Davis Square Center is a four-story facility that counts Atrius Health Inc. among its tenant roster. Morristown Plaza is a six-story building, occupied by such tenants as Summit Medical Group and AHS Hospital Corp.

Gantry’s Andy Bratt, a Principal in Newport Beach, CA who arranged the financing on behalf of the borrower said, “Sponsorship is public non-traded healthcare REIT that typically holds their properties on their lines of credit and therefore required maximum flexibility. Sponsorship was looking for life company execution and we were able to structure the deal with one of our correspondents that recognized the institutional ownership needs. The non-recourse financing provided cash out on five-year fixed loan terms with very flexible prepayment penalties meeting the clients needs.”

Bratt worked with the same borrower on both deals to arrange the five-year, fixed-rate loans through a life insurance correspondent. Sponsorship has seen a large increase in value since acquiring the properties in 2015 and decided to take advantage by recapitalizing the stabilized assets.

At San Francisco-based Gantry, independent thinking is in our genes. As an independent firm, we take a thoughtful and intentional approach to everything we do. So, as our industry consolidates and becomes less personal, we push ourselves to ignore convention, to set a high standard and to always prioritize people ahead of profits. With 30 years of experience, a $13 billion national servicing portfolio, we’re committed to constructing the best deals for our clients. For those seeking a partner that delivers more, we’re a little different. The right kind of different.

Thought Leaders: Behavioral health bucks the trend in inpatient care

JLL Healthcare Capital Markets

Behavioral health perspectives

December 2019

The demand for behavioral treatment is growing – and inpatient admissions along with it

Growth in U.S. Inpatient Admissions, 2013 and 2017

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Source: Health Care Cost Institute

Key points:

  • Inpatient behavioral treatment is the exception to the trend of lower acute care hospital utilization.  Growth in behavioral care has been fueled by the need to provide sustained residential treatment of mental health disorders and for substance abuse outside the emergency room or general acute care facility.
  • Inpatient behavioral admissions grew 9% from 2013 to 2017 while all inpatient admissions decreased 5%. There are 59 million Americans with diagnosed mental health or addiction disorders that may be treated on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
  • Capital markets provide healthy support to inpatient behavioral providers, including two large active public company operators, one of which is the largest operator with 186 U.S. inpatient behavioral hospitals, and the other is a pure play behavioral operator with nearly 10,000 acute psychiatric beds in the U.S. Many hospitals and private operators are building new freestanding facilities to meet the growth in demand for services, in contrast to the trend of fewer acute care beds per capita.

News Release: Just Closed – 9-Building Medical Office Portfolio

CBRE Capital Markets | Healthcare

Just Closed: 9-Building Medical Office Portfolio

Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia

CBRE announced that it has completed the sale and financing of a nine-building medical office portfolio totaling approximately 470,000 square feet located in four states.

Chris Bodnar, Lee Asher, Ryan Lindsley and Jordan Selbiger of CBRE’s Healthcare Capital Markets team served as advisors for the transaction and sourced the buyer for the portfolio sale. Additionally, Sabrina Solomiany of CBRE’s Debt & Structured Finance group worked on behalf of the buyer to secure the financing. The buyer, a confidential entity, purchased the property in a sale that closed December 13, 2019.

“This portfolio offered the opportunity to buy a critical mass of medical assets with exposure to some of the top health systems in the country, including Advocate Aurora Health, Einstein Health and INOVA Health System,” said Chris Bodnar, Vice Chairman of Capital Markets for CBRE.

The nine-building portfolio included the 95,043-square-foot Advocate Sherman Medical Building in Elgin, Ill., the 36,413-square-foot Oak Lawn Medical Building in Oak Lawn, Ill., the 60,558-square-foot High Pointe Health Campus in Lake Elmo, Minn., the 71,685-square-foot Einstein Medical Building in East Norriton, Pa., the 35,405-square-foot Sterling Medical Building in Sterling, Va., 118,081 square feet across Pavilion I & II in Duluth, Minn., and 52,105 square feet across CentreMed I & II in Centreville, Va. The portfolio featured over five years of weighted average lease term (WALT).

Ms. Solomiany marketed the debt to various life insurance companies, banks and debt funds. The buyer ultimately decided to bifurcate the portfolio into two separate portfolio loans to achieve the best terms.

“CBRE worked alongside the buyer to arrange two loans that provided flexibility for the buyer on a portion of the assets and strong cash flow with five years of interest-only on the stabilized properties,” said Ms. Solomiany. “Ultimately, the lender was comfortable with the relationship with the sponsor, diversification of locations and quality of the real estate.”

Transwestern Spearheads Leasing Efforts for Wexford Science + Technology

Fifth St. in the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. Developed by Wexford Science + Technology, the 227,000-square-foot, Class A research and office building is being leased by Transwestern’s Managing Director Mark Stratz and Senior Vice President Scott Baumgarten.

CEI’s new space will be its second facility and will pioneer its LabForce and Validation Lab programs.  LabForce will be the first training and certification center devoted to the workforce needs of Arizona’s bioscience industry. The Validation Lab will help early-stage entrepreneurs with market research and competitive analysis. Opening in Downtown Phoenix in 2020, CEI will operate on the ground floor and offer a variety of in-person, online, and hybrid learning experiences for lab technicians, scientists, quality managers and entrepreneurial teams.

“We’re thrilled that CEI’s second location in the Wexford Science + Technology building puts us in the heart of Downtown Phoenix and on-campus with some of the region’s highest regarded intellectual resources,” said Tom Schumann, CEI’s Executive Director. “There is no better place for the Maricopa Community Colleges to offer exceptional educational programming than in our city’s Innovation District.”

The property is located near Arizona State University’s (ASU) Downtown Phoenix campus. ASU will occupy four floors at 850 N. Fifth St. to further its research and innovation programs in close proximity to the ASU College of Health Solutions and Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine-Phoenix, Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), and the Roosevelt Row Arts District.

Earlier this year, Wexford Science + Technology selected Transwestern to be the first outside brokerage firm to lease space at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. The commercial real estate company is leasing floors five, six, and seven, totaling 104,000 square feet that is fully lab-enabled and offered for life-science and biomedical companies of all stages of growth, as well as other companies seeking proximity to world-class research. 850 N.

Okland Construction of Tempe broke ground in May 2019 and is expected to finish in fourth quarter 2020. HKS Architects designed the building, inspired by a Saguaro cactus that provides a deeply rooted connection to its place in the Sonoran Desert and is naturally critical within its environment.

News Release: Caddis wins HREI senior living award for an unprecedented consecutive third year

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Heartis Village Brookfield near Milwaukee was the firm’s third new senior living community in a row to win the magazine’s prestigious national award for excellence

The award-winning, Caddis-developed Heartis Village Brookfield senior living community (top). Caddis executives accepted the HREI award for the new senior development (bottom). Pictured, left to right, are Jud Jacobs, Jason L. Signor and Lance M. Hardenburg.

BROOKFIELD, Wis. and DALLAS, Dec. 19, 2019 – Healthcare Real Insights™ (HREI) magazine has named the Caddis®-developed Heartis® Village Brookfield senior living community a winner of the 2019 HREI Insights Awards™. The development in Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee, won the prestigious national award for the Best New Post-Acute or Senior Living Facility.

This is the third consecutive year that Caddis, a national healthcare real estate firm headquartered in Dallas, has won the HREI Insights Award senior living category for its Heartis senior residences. This is unprecedented in the seven years of the HREI Awards. Last year, Caddis won the award for Heartis Village North Shore, also in a suburb near Milwaukee; and in 2017, the firm won for Heartis Clear Lake near Houston, Texas.

The annual awards, the first totally dedicated to recognizing excellence in the areas of healthcare real estate (HRE) development and executive leadership, are presented by HREI, a national digital and print magazine that covers HRE development, financing and investment. The awards were presented in nine different categories during the GlobeSt Healthcare Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., Dec. 4.

Jason L. Signor, Caddis CEO and Partner, notes, “We faced many challenges developing Heartis Village Brookfield, but our team successfully took those challenges head on to develop a beautiful senior residence that is meeting the need for more senior living options in the community.”

He added, “It is very gratifying that year after year Caddis continues to win the sought-after HREI awards for our Heartis senior living communities, as well as medical office buildings and other healthcare properties. I congratulate our entire development team for their stellar award-winning work.”

Mr. Signor said that Caddis decided to develop a senior community in Brookfield after it identified a shortage of senior housing there. However, the firm faced a number of challenges. City officials were wary of the project because the public opposed multi-family housing and many didn’t understand the difference between multi-family and senior housing. Also, city restrictions on new development in some areas made it difficult to find a viable site.

Caddis initially investigated or made offers on six sites without success until finding the current site. To address the project’s many challenges, Caddis met with city staff to educate them on senior living and how it differs from multi-family; demonstrated a need for more senior living options in the community based on the firm’s research; explained how senior living improves residents’ quality of life; and learned about likely public concerns on zoning and the entitlement process. At the end of the meeting, the city director supported the project and also referred Caddis to a local landowner who owned a highly desirable site that was not on the market.

The seller of the site had tried unsuccessfully to entitle his land for multi-family use, which the city opposed, and was reluctant to give up on his preferred use. After a long deliberation and encouragement from the city, the seller agreed on a purchase price and Caddis secured the site under contract, with closing contingent upon obtaining entitlements. The entitlement process lasted several months and included community hearings and multiple meetings with city staff and departments.

Despite the city telling Caddis that the project would be an uphill battle, it passed the approval process with full support of the city and no public opposition. The new 98,660 square foot senior community, which was completed this summer, features 104 spacious assisted living and memory care apartments and a wide variety of first-class amenities, including large, secured courtyards; beautifully landscaped grounds with gardens and walking paths; activity rooms; libraries; media room; and a fitness center.

Heartis Village Brookfield also is in an ideal location that allows seniors to stay close to their family and friends while enjoying proximity to major transportation routes and nearby amenities and services, including the Milwaukee River, retail, restaurants, hospitals and open spaces.

In addition to benefitting the residents, the project is also benefiting the local community. The city requires residential developers to dedicate a portion of their land for a public park but exempts senior housing. So even though Caddis wasn’t required to do so, it donated a 2.9-acre parcel of land from the original 9.7-acre site to the city to create a new public park. Caddis also agreed to make significant aesthetic changes to the building exterior design, based on suggestions from city staff.

Caddis-developed projects and executives have been named Finalists a total of 16 times and Winners six times in the seven years of the highly competitive HREI Insights Awards.

“NexCore was founded on Greg’s passion for innovation, growing from 18 to 95 people and one office to eight nationwide,” NexCore stated in its nomination of Mr. Venn. “He inspires entrepreneurial thinking and collaboration among all stakeholders on a project, driving peak performance. His balance of vision, diverse sensibility and meticulous attention to detail provides an innate proficiency to identify sustained improvement.

“Encouraging unconventional thinking, Greg inspires a culture of continual learning. His recent sustainability plan transitioned the firm’s next core leadership team, ensuring their influence on the HRE landscape and senior living communities.”

Accepting the award before a roomful of his fellow NexCore employees, industry peers and well-wishers, Mr. Venn shared his appreciation and dedicated the award to his team.

“Thank you very much. I appreciate this. It’s especially meaningful to me because it’s our peers that vote for this, so I really do appreciate it,” he said.

“But it’s not an individual award. I think this is something that it says about the people who work for our company, specifically Todd Varney, Jarrod Daddis, Robert Lawless and Ed Christen, who are really why our company was named NexCore – because it’s the next core group that is going to run the company and take it to the next level, and I feel like they are really doing that. So, they deserve this award, and I appreciate it, and like we say in our shop, we’re just getting started.”

In the seven years of the HREI Insights Awards, NexCore Group has won six times, including four times for development projects, once for Lifetime Achievement (Tim Oliver, Director Strategic Planning & Development, won in 2016) and now HRE Executive of the Year with Mr. Venn.

Feature Story: The ‘state of HRE’ is pretty darn good

Panel of industry experts foresees continued strength in the healthcare space

It sure seems that people’s opinions have changed about whether the country is headed toward an  economic downturn by the end of 2020, as had been predicted at various times during the past couple of years.

As a result, optimism seems to be running high in many business sectors, including healthcare and healthcare real estate (HRE).

“Those fears (of a recession) seem to have waned,” said Philip J. “PJ” Camp, principal with New York-based Hammond Hanlon Camp (H2C), during the 10th Annual InterFace Healthcare Real Estate Southeast conference in Nashville on Nov. 19-20.

“There seems to be a fair amount of optimism over the economy about unemployment being low, interest rates being low, and the stock market certainly has performed well over the last number of months,” Mr. Camp continued. “So, I think it looks all clear at least for the time being.”

On top of the good news about the ongoing strength of the economy, the panelists said it looks as if: Continue reading “Feature Story: The ‘state of HRE’ is pretty darn good”

Transactions: HTA adds nearly 400,000 s.f. in Charlotte, N.C.

Plans have yet to be announced for the “office with medical” portfolio

By John B. Mugford

The new owner hasn’t commented yet, but it would appear that a freshly acquired “office with medical” portfolio near Charlotte, N.C., might be ripe for a conversion to 100 percent medical.

That would seem to be a reasonable possibility given the identity of the buyer: Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Healthcare Trust of America (NYSE: HTA).
The publicly traded REIT, which is one of the largest owners of medical office buildings (MOBs) in the country with a portfolio of about 24 million square feet of space, recently closed on the purchase of five office buildings, some with medical tenants, in Huntersville, N.C., a northern suburb of Charlotte, for $81.5 million.
Healthcare Real Estate Insights first learned of the transaction through information from healthcare real estate (HRE) research firm Revista, which included two of the buildings in its recent MOB sales transaction data. The other office buildings were not included, according to Revista officials, because they did not include medical tenancy.
An article in the Charlotte Business Journal on Dec. 10 indicates that the five buildings have a total of 395,796 square feet of space, putting the price per square foot (PSF) at about $205. The seller, according to both Revista and the Business Journal, was Atlanta-based OA Development, which in its more than two decades of existence has developed and/or acquired more than 3 million square feet of commercial properties for a total of about $325 million.
OA Development acquired the five-building portfolio in early 2018 for $62.5 million. The facilities were developed between 1990 and 2001.
The two buildings listed in Revista’s data, which the research firm refers to as “office with medical” facilities, are just off U.S. Interstate 77 and comprise the following:
■ The Reed Building, a 106,565 square foot facility at 9920 Kincey Ave. Completed in 1998, the MOB is across the street from the 139-bed Novant Health Huntersville Medical Center, part of the four-state, 15-hospital Charlotte, N.C.-based Novant Health. Tenants include a dialysis center operated by Charlotte-based Independent Nephrology Services.
■ The Alexander Building, a 128,510 square foot MOB at 13620 Reese Blvd., which is just a mile south of the Reed Building. Tenants in the facility, which was constructed in 2001, include North Charlotte Plastic Surgery Associates and North Charlotte Plastic Surgery.
All of the buildings in the portfolio, including the three other non-medical facilities, are in what is known as the Park-Huntersville mixed-use development, which is close to the Novant hospital and is just west of the Gilead Road exit off I-77. The overall development includes 2.6 million square feet of space under numerous ownerships.
In a statement from OA Development included in the Business Journal article, Brian Granath, a partner, said: “Our original pro forma had us holding this asset for several more years, but we reached an inflection point in the leasing cycle where we thought it was time to test the market. Healthcare Trust saw the value of the asset, given its healthy fundamentals, including its location within The Park and the north Charlotte submarket.”
For HTA, which prefers to focus its acquisition and ownership activities to major markets in order to achieve property and asset management scale and efficiencies, the purchase adds to its large holdings in Greater Charlotte.
Prior to the recent acquisition, the REIT, which owns more than 500,000 square feet of MOB space in 15 markets nationwide, owned a portfolio of more than 400,000 square feet in Greater Charlotte, Robert Milligan, chief financial officer, reported during a second quarter (Q2) 2019 earnings call with analysts.
The latest acquisition would bring that total to about 800,000 square feet of space.
Whether HTA intends to convert the entire portfolio to medical remains to be seen. HTA officials had not responded to an inquiry from HREI by the time this article went to press.

News Release: Davis acquires 59,233 square foot MOB on hospital campus in New Albany, Ohio

The Class A New Albany Medical Building II on the Mount Carmel Surgical Hospital campus is occupied by OrthoNeuro, New Albany Surgery Center and other tenants

Davis will manage its newly acquired New Albany Medical Building II and develop a skyway linking the building to the adjacent Mount Carmel Surgical Hospital.

NEW ALBANY (COLUMBUS), Ohio, and MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 18, 2019 – Davis announced that it has acquired the 59,233 square foot, Class A New Albany Medical Building II in New Albany, an upscale suburb of Columbus. The $18.4 million acquisition closed Nov. 15.

The medical building is at 5040 Forest Drive on the campus of Mount Carmel Surgical Hospital, which is owned by Michigan-based Trinity Health, a not-for-profit Catholic health system with 93 hospitals in 22 states.

The building is 80 percent occupied by multi-specialty healthcare tenants, including OrthoNeuro, New Albany Surgery Center and three smaller tenants.

“This acquisition was an excellent opportunity for Davis,” explains Mark Davis, Founder and Partner of the national healthcare real estate development, property management, brokerage and investment firm headquartered in Minneapolis. “It’s located in a growing, prosperous area near Columbus with good demographics. It’s also on the Mount Carmel Surgical Hospital campus, which is owned by Trinity Health, a highly regarded national healthcare system. In addition, we’re fortunate that the building houses a number of high-quality medical tenants.”

He added, “We plan to invest in and enhance this property, including developing a skyway that links to the surgical hospital, which will provide greater convenience and accessibility for patients and staff. We will also provide first-class property management services for the tenants and assist them with their expansion needs in the building.”

News Release: Healthpeak™ Announces Transactions Enhancing the Growth of its Three Core Businesses

News Release Issued: Dec 18, 2019 (8:00am EST)

Healthpeak™ Announces Transactions Enhancing the Growth of its Three Core Businesses

As part of Healthpeak’s development program with HCA, Healthpeak and HCA have entered into an agreement on an additional development project. The 172,000 square foot six-story Class A medical office building will be located on the TriStar Centennial Medical Center Campus in Nashville, TN.

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (NYSE: PEAK) announced today multiple transactions to enhance the continued growth of its life science, senior housing and medical office businesses.

“We are pleased to announce several important transactions that will be funded primarily through our recent forward equity offering and senior housing joint venture proceeds,” said Tom Herzog, Healthpeak’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our portfolio repositioning included $4.5 billion of non-core senior housing sales over the last few years in order to achieve our desired portfolio quality and mix. We are now able to focus on investing accretively in new, high-quality properties across all three of our core asset classes.”

Expanded Life Science Development Pipeline

Healthpeak will commence construction on a $164 million life science development and redevelopment project, The Boardwalk, located on Science Center Drive in the Torrey Pines life science cluster in San Diego.

The Boardwalk will be Healthpeak’s flagship campus in the core life science market of San Diego. Totaling approximately 190,000 square feet, the campus will combine three adjacent Healthpeak holdings, activating two land sites through 105,000 square feet of ground-up development that will flank both sides of an existing 85,000 square foot property that will also be redeveloped. The Boardwalk will be a LEED-certified Class A cohesive campus with a first-class amenity package that includes a full-service restaurant, indoor/outdoor meeting areas and fitness space that take advantage of the San Diego climate. Construction at The Boardwalk is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2020 to accommodate occupancy as early as the second quarter of 2021. Upon stabilization, the campus is projected to generate an estimated yield on cost of 7%.

Healthpeak has additional development projects in South San Francisco and Boston in various stages of entitlement, based on the favorable market fundamentals in life science. We expect to commence one to two of these projects in 2020.

Oakmont Senior Living (“Oakmont”) Purchase Option Agreement

Healthpeak and Oakmont entered into an agreement that provides Healthpeak the option to acquire up to 24 of Oakmont’s senior housing development properties (the “Development Properties”) when Oakmont elects to sell. The Development Properties are concentrated in California with a projected value of approximately $1.3 billion in the aggregate. The acquisition options are expected to be offered in tranches between 2020 and 2023, including approximately $200 million in the first half of 2020. Once offered, Healthpeak has the option to acquire each applicable tranche of the Development Properties based on a pre-determined pricing formula with projected year-one cash capitalization rates equal to 5.5%. At the closing of each Development Property acquisition, Healthpeak would enter into a highly incentivized management contract with Oakmont Management Group creating a strong alignment of interest. In addition, the acquisitions would be paid for in part with downREIT units.

Expanding Medical Office Development Program with HCA Healthcare (“HCA”)

As part of Healthpeak’s development program with HCA, Healthpeak and HCA have entered into an agreement on an additional development project. The 172,000 square foot six-story Class A medical office building will be located on the TriStar Centennial Medical Center Campus in Nashville, TN. The $46 million development will expand the TriStar Centennial campus, which is HCA’s second-largest campus in the United States. The project is 45% pre-leased and construction is expected to begin in mid-2020. We expect to announce additional developments to our program with HCA in 2020.
