Realty Capital and Staubach Capital have teamed up to build Lakeside International Office Center, a 138,000-square-foot property at International Parkway and Lakeside Parkway near the north entrance of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

“Flower Mound has established itself as an attractive area for new residents and businesses with a growing number of shops, restaurants, entertainment and residential options in the Lakeside mixed-use community,” said Jeff Staubach, founding partner of Staubach Capital, in a prepared statement.  “Lakeside International Office Center will be the first of its kind in this part of the metroplex, providing a premium office experience with top-of-class amenities.”

The first tenant to pre-lease space in the office center is IntelliCentrics, according to JLL, which will handle marketing and leasing for the property, and also represented IntelliCentrics in the transaction.

IntelliCentrics, a Flower Mound health care technology company, signed on for 30,000-square-feet of space on the fourth floor of one of the new buildings. One building will encompass 120,000-square-feet of office space across four floors and the other will have two floors totalling 18,000 square feet.

“I am extremely excited for IntelliCentrics’ world-wide headquarters to locate in the Lakeside development in Flower Mound, and as a 22-year resident of Flower Mound I feel the vision is perfect for sustained growth benefiting both residents and commercial tenants,” said Mike Sheehan, CEO of IntelliCentrics, in a prepared statement.

The City of Flower Mound offered an “aggressive incentive package” to help Realty Capital obtain the debt financing needed for the project, according to a release from JLL.

“Without the incentive agreement, we wouldn’t have been able to obtain the financing to build the project on a speculative nature, said Realty Capital’s Jimmy Archie in a prepared statement. “Once we were able to obtain the financing and announce the project to the market, our first tenant showed up to lease a portion of the project prior to us breaking ground.”

BOKA Powell is the architecture firm behind the project, and Muckleroy and Falls is the general contractor. Construction on the buildings began this week, and they are expected to deliver in Q3 of 2020.

Roanoke City Council In Texas Approves Final Plans For Mixed-Use Development With Medical Building

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Roanoke City Council has paved the way for the construction of a mixed-use development that would bring a medical building, office building, hotel and thousands of retail, and restaurant space to the city.

The City Council approved at its July 9 meeting the final plat, or site plan, for Roanoke Village located in the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex. The initial site plan was first approved in January.

The final plat approval was required before city staff and the project’s developer, Newstream Land Partners, can begin preconstruction meetings. Construction could begin after those meetings.

The 6.25-acre project is set to be built at the southeast corner of Parish Lane and US 377. Plans call for five buildings. One will be a medical building; one will be an office buildiing; one will be a SpringHill Suites hotel; and two will have retail and restaurant space.

According to plans submitted to the city, the project will include 14,500 square feet of office space, 28,470 square feet of retail space, and 11,273 square feet of restaurant space.

“Newstream started foundational work at the site in April,” said Troy Lewis, vice president of development with Newstream Construction Services. “Construction could begin by this fall. There is no timetable on when construction could be completed.”

“The project will be a destination within itself, with connectivity to  downtown Roanoke as well,” Roanoke Assistant City Manager Cody Petree said. “The hotel will be within walking distance of stores, restaurants and other amenities. This area is one of the ‘front doors’ into the city, so it’s great to see the project planned out so well and aesthetically pleasing.”

This is the second set of plans for mixed-use development approved by Roanoke City Council in the last month. At its June 11 meeting, council greenlighted Magnolia Oak Street, a three-story project set to be constructed on 2.01 acres at 601 N. Oak St. in Roanoke. Plans call for 78 residential units and 5,070 square feet of retail space. The project will also include 16 live-work units that combine living and work areas into a single unit.

Dallas Is Nation’s Second Most Active Medical Office Building Construction Market

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Dallas-Fort Worth has the second-most medical office building construction nationwide, accounting for nearly 1.5 million square feet and behind only New York City.

Medical office buildings are getting larger, farther away from hospital campuses, and remain profitable and well-occupied in the region, according to Revista data shared by Mike Hargrave at the North Texas Hospital, Outpatient Facilities, and Medical Office Buildings Summit. Private equity is an growing influence in health care transactions, and Dallas leads major Texas markets in average rent and rent growth for medical office buildings as well.

Dallas has 14 projects under construction in the medical office building space valued at $503 million and is second only to New York’s more than 2 million square feet worth over $1.3 billion. Houston is a close third, with 15 projects accounting for 1.2 million square feet and $344 million.

Since the 1980s, medical office buildings have moved from around 1.5 miles from the nearest hospital to often nearing three miles today. Building peaked around 2009 with nearly 35 million square feet built that year to around 21 million this year.

Meanwhile, individual projects are getting bigger. Most projects were less than 40,000 square feet prior to 2005, but since 2009, the average square foot for medical office building are closer to 60,000 square feet.

Healthcare practices are growing as well. Between 1981 and 2007, most practices were less than 8,000 square feet, but today the median size is 12,000 square feet.

Occupancy of investor owned outpatient buildings has remained fairly consistent since 2009, hovering between 90 and 92 percent. Relative to Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, Dallas has nearly as much as Houston in terms of inventory with 34.2 million square feet, but is on top of the heap in occupancy at 89.8 percent. Its $22.53 per square foot is also tops in Texas, as well as its year over year rent growth at 2.9 percent.

Nationwide for the last four years, healthcare real estate transactions remain strong, hovering between $15 and $20 billion for combined hospital and medical office building deals. Private equity’s influence on those deals is growing, as 2014 saw 27 percent of transactions grow to 61 percent by 2018. REIT has seen a sharp decline, from 53 percent of deals in 2014 to just 16 percent last year.

Across the US, there are 439 medical office buildings and 491 general hospitals under construction, accounting for 108.3 million square feet and $67.2 billion. The median size of a medical office building is 50,000 square feet and median value is $17 million. Median hospital size is 95,5000 square feet worth $50 million.
