Cap Rates On The Rise

/in , /by

Amid all of the uncertainty in the healthcare real estate sector due to rising interest rates and inflation, Mike Hargrave, principal with Arnold, Md.-based HRE data firm Revista, noted during the firm’s recent conference in Bonita Springs that there are two main questions on the minds of most HRE professionals.

“At Revista, the biggest questions we’re getting are, where are cap rates at and where are they going?” Mr. Hargrave said.

A bit later, after he’d provided plenty of data on medical office building (MOB) sales transaction volumes and capitalization rates, or estimated first-year returns, Mr. Hargrave noted: “So generally, when people ask how much are cap rates going up, I tell them, ‘Well, it depends upon what kind of asset you’re talking about and where it’s located.’”

For the most part, however, Mr. Hargrave indicated that MOB cap rates have been on a steady upward march since the third quarter (Q3) of 2022, amid a time of rising interest rates, pricing uncertainty and greater difficulty in obtaining debt for acquisitions.

Mr. Hargrave presented plenty of data on MOB sales volumes and cap rates during a presentation he gave with another Revista principal, Hilda Martin, during the 2023 Revista Medical Real Estate Investment Forum (MREIF) conference, held Feb. 28 to March 2 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, Fla.

Broe Real Estate Group Adds Site To Growing MOB Portfolio

/in /by

Broe Real Estate Group, a private real estate investment firm and affiliate of The Broe Group, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, confirmed the acquisition of a 41,030 square foot office building located on 4.66 acres at 1501 W. Mineral, Littleton, Colorado.

Constructed in 1999, the two-story multi-specialty building located in Douglas County is the ideal candidate for conversion, given its highly visible location and proximity within the sub-market. BREG will undertake significant capital investments to convert the previously zoned office building into a medical office facility equipped to serve the area’s growing need for medical services. Douglas County‘s 19.4% growth since 2010 has outpaced all metro Denver area counties, creating increased consumer medical need.

“The Mineral acquisition offers the opportunity to repurpose a high quality asset into an institutional quality medical space that addresses the area’s continuing need for non-hospital medical services,” says BREG CEO Doug Wells. “Our team is actively pursuing medical tenants to serve the community’s growing needs.”

The Mineral project is BREG‘s fifth transaction supporting MOB repositioning project in the past twelve months totaling nearly 600,000 square feet.

Jeff Wood and Monica Wiley from CBRE listed the property for sale on behalf of WorldVenture, which operated its headquarters at the site for nearly 20 years.

“1501 West Mineral is a highly visible building with excellent access to nearby retail amenities and medical services. Demand for high quality, well-located healthcare options in Douglas County continues to outpace supply, which has been limited in part by rising construction costs,” noted Wood.
