Big Sky Medical Joins With GFH On $200M Medical Office Deal Across Seven States

/in /by

GFH, a leading institutional investor based in Bahrain with a global portfolio of investments, has a $200 million deal with Dallas-based Big Sky Medical to acquire 13 outpatient medical office buildings across seven states.

“Big Sky “complements our own global investment capabilities with deep knowledge of the US healthcare market,” Nael Mustafa Chief Investment Officer, Real Estate of GFH said in prepared remarks.

Earlier this year, Newmark assisted in arranging the joint venture, which was seeded by a $400+ million medical office portfolio aggregated by Big Sky during the past 12 months. Newmark led the portfolio financing.

 “The transaction “is a good indication that the market remains quite competitive for well-curated healthcare portfolios,” Newmark senior managing director John Nero said in a prepared statement.

Nero, along with executive managing director Ben Appel, senior managing directors Jay Miele and Michael Greeley of Newmark’s Healthcare Capital Markets group and vice chairman Alex Foshay and executive managing director Joseph Morris of Newmark’s International Capital Markets group, acted as sole financial advisors to the joint venture.

The transaction includes a component for future acquisition financing, which will allow the venture to continue its acquisition strategy under similar terms, according to a release.

/in , /by

An investment bank based in Bahrain has acquired 11 medical office buildings in the U.S. in a $200 million deal.

The transaction increases the value of GFH Financial Group’s U.S. healthcare portfolio to more than $400 million. The combined facilities comprise more than 400,000 square feet of space in Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Utah, Wisconsin, and Ohio.

Tenants of the medical office buildings include Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White Health, Cleveland Clinic,  and Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health.

“The pandemic has underlined a need for more outpatient services and continued demand for healthcare services. As a result we are seeing strong investor sentiment in the medical offices sector,” said Nael Mustafa, co-chief investment officer-real estate at GFH. “This trend is particularly true in the U.S., where healthcare spending comprises around 18 percent of gross domestic product, compared to around 10 percent for most other developed countries. The recession-proof investments such as healthcare are capable of delivering returns for shareholders, and GFH is confident its medical office portfolio will help capitalize on the growing demand for healthcare in the U.S.”
