New Medical Office Building Is On The Way In Frisco

Dallas-based medical property firm Caddis Partners is building an office building in Frisco.

The 60,000-square-foot Frisco Medical Pavilion II will be located at 12950 Dallas Parkway near Texas Health Frisco hospital. Construction is set to start midyear with an opening in the summer of 2023. Transwestern Real Estate Services is marketing the project to medical tenants.

“Building on the success of our Frisco Medical Pavilion development, which broke ground in 2018 and is now 100% leased, we are excited to begin the development of Frisco Medical Pavilion II in the fast-growing Frisco, Texas, market,” Caddis’ W. Todd Jensen said in a statement.

The medical office building will include space for a potential ambulatory surgical center on the first floor.

“Built with both the physician and patient in mind, Frisco Medical Pavilion II is an excellent opportunity for specialty medical practices seeking Class A space in one of the fastest-growing submarkets in the United States,” Transwestern’s Brooke Sutherland said.

Caddis oversees a portfolio of more than 70 properties across 16 states with almost 5 million square feet. Caddis has offices in Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston and Washington, D.C.

Nothing But Good News Abounds In The Healthcare Real Estate Sector

At a time when U.S. and international headlines have been full of bad news, there seems to be nothing but good news to report about the healthcare real estate (HRE) space.

To start with, medical office building (MOB) sales in 2021 – despite the lingering of the COVID-19 pandemic – broke the all-time record for volume at $17.4 billion, topping the previous record of $15.4 billion set in 2015.

In addition, occupancy rates increased significantly last year, absorption of MOB space is as strong as ever, MOB construction starts are on the rise, and third-party owned MOB projects made up a larger share of projects than any of the previous seven years.

This data and more was presented during a session at last week’s Revista Medical Real Estate Investment Forum 2022, which was held at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort from March 2-4. The annual event is put on by Arnold, Md.-based Revista, which gathers a wide range of HRE data for its subscribers.

Kicking off the agenda on the second day of the conference, March 3, Revista Principals Mike Hargrave and Hilda Martin provided the audience with a wide variety of data from 2021 during a session titled “Medical Real Estate Trends & Top Markets.”

19-Building Florida Medical Building Portfolio Recapitalization Transaction Closes

Kaufman Hall and Associates, LLC (“Kaufman Hall”) was selected as the exclusive financial advisor to AW Property Co. (“AW” or “Sponsor”) related to the joint venture equity raise for the recapitalization of a 19-building, 525,759 square foot medical office building portfolio located throughout the State of Florida.

The portfolio is comprised of a diverse mix of on- and off-campus medical office buildings aligned with several of the nation’s leading non-profit health systems. The portfolio was owned by a discretionary real estate fund sponsored by AW.

Kaufman Hall’s Role

On behalf of AW, Kaufman Hall undertook a competitive effort to identify the most appropriate institutional capital partner. Kaufman Hall’s efforts included approaching a diverse pool of potential equity partners, including investors with previous medical office experience and firms with no prior experience with healthcare real estate. Based on Kaufman Hall’s efforts, the quality of the Sponsor and the opportunity, AW received multiple proposals from various investor types, including domestic pension fund advisors, foreign capital sources and private equity groups, among others. The structured and highly competitive process resulted in the selection of a well-established institutional investment manager with a national presence across multiple real estate asset types.
