Last Week in Medical CRE

Ground kept moving even as the dog days set in. Three small to mid size medical office trades printed in the Southwest and California, a Texas master planned community advanced a large health anchor, an Upstate South Carolina system broke ground on a full medical campus, and a major outpatient and sports medicine complex was announced in New Orleans. On the capital side one of the largest health care REITs paid its higher quarterly dividend, and the United Kingdom saw merger oversight steps in the primary care real estate roll up.

In California, a JLL team sold a two story Thousand Oaks medical building for about seven point one million to a spine surgeon who will occupy part of the asset. Owner users continuing to step in at smaller lot sizes is the story here. It keeps pricing from drifting and tightens supply for investors who want stabilized rent.

San Diego saw a five point three million trade of a single tenant medical building near Sharp Memorial with a local buyer represented by Voit. Small cap private buyers remain active on well located single tenant medical with strong hospital adjacency.

Arizona posted a larger deal in Surprise where Matthews closed a ten point four million sale of a multi tenant asset with Optum and Spooner Physical Therapy in place. The tenant mix tells you where outpatient demand is still expanding in growth suburbs.

On the development front Howard Hughes broke ground on a fifty one thousand square foot medical facility for Memorial Hermann at Bridgeland outside Houston. The plan is the first phase of a much larger medical district inside the community. Master plans that pair rooftops with care access continue to pull medical to the front door of daily life.

In the Carolinas AnMed broke ground on a one hundred five million campus serving Central and Clemson with a round the clock emergency department plus physician offices therapy imaging and lab. Expect this to re set patient leakage patterns in that corridor once it opens.

New Orleans added a headline grabber. Ochsner confirmed a new two story forty six thousand square foot sports medicine complex beside the Saints and Pelicans training site with James Andrews involved and Catalyst as developer. Phase one brings clinics therapy imaging and lab with surgery to follow.

Capital notes matter for pricing. Welltower paid its increased quarterly dividend on August twenty one after raising it in late July which keeps yield buyers engaged across seniors and outpatient exposure. Strong cash flow guidance and a higher payout help sentiment for medical real estate even as rates chop.

Across the Atlantic the regulator kept working on the Primary Health Properties and Assura combination. The UK competition authority updated its case page on August nineteen and PHP reported acceptance levels on August twenty. Consolidation in primary care real estate abroad often foreshadows portfolio strategies and pricing logic that cross back into the United States.

Finally keep one eye on hospital ownership changes. Ochsner was the positive story. Prospect Medical’s sale processes moved forward in court with stalking horse disclosures and Connecticut bid timing updates this week. Real estate outcomes follow operating sponsors so local investors should track these dockets.
