Kaufman Hall Selected Financial Advisor To Securing Debt Financing Of Nine Building MOB Portfolio Located In Florida And Georgia

/in /by

Kaufman Hall & Associates, LLC (“Kaufman Hall”) was selected as the exclusive financial advisor to AW Property Co. (“AW”) related to securing debt financing for the acquisition of a nine-building, 348,416 square foot medical office portfolio located in Georgia (“Georgia Portfolio”) and a previously acquired two-building, 33,154 square foot medical office asset unencumbered by debt located in Florida (“Florida Asset”).

The eleven on- and off-campus medical office buildings spanning 381,570 square feet are a mix of core, core-plus, and value-add assets.  Much of the Georgia Portfolio is affiliated with a dominant, physician-owned, multi-specialty clinic in the region. AW acquired the Georgia Portfolio on an off-market basis through an existing relationship.

Kaufman Hall’s Role

On behalf of AW, Kaufman Hall undertook a competitive process to secure debt financing for the Georgia Portfolio and the Florida Asset.  Kaufman Hall approached a diverse pool of debt providers that had prior medical office building experience or were seeking entry into the sector.  Based on Kaufman Hall’s efforts, AW’s track record, and the quality of the opportunity, attractive proposals were received from debt providers, despite a challenging capital markets environment. Ultimately, AW selected a well-established national commercial bank as the lender.
