Big Sky Medical Gets Rezoning Approval For Dallas MOB

Big Sky Medical has received the approval from the Dallas City Council for the rezoning of the roughly 145,000-square-foot Pyramids South Tower, which can now include medical tenants within the property.

The adjacent Pyramids North Tower was rezoned to medical use in 2005 and is currently occupied by Baylor Scott & White and Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute.

Big Sky Medical acquired the two-building property near dowtown Dallas last year in October for an estimated $55 million from Healthcare Realty. The asset was described at that time as the largest medical office property to change hands in the U.S. since 2018. The purchase was made through Big Sky’s partnership with Bahrain-based GFH Financial Group.

The Pyramid Towers encompass a total of nearly 300,000 square feet and are set to become one of the largest medical complexes in North Texas. Pyramids South Tower is a six-story Class A building which was completed in 1998 and features three passenger elevators, controlled access and offers 730 car parking spaces. Managing Director Russ Johnson and Senior Vice President Chris Wright with JLL will handle the leasing services at the property.

Located at 9101 N. Central Expressway, Pyramid Towers are less than 10 miles from downtown Dallas. medical facilities in the surrounding area include Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, SMU Health Center and First Baptist Medical Center, among others.

Big Sky Medical recently made another purchase in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The company acquired Richardson Medical Center I, a 118,472-square-foot medical office building in Richardson. The property’s repurposing to medical office use began this year.

Big Sky Secures $190M Financing For Ten Healthcare Properties Across Four States

JLL Capital Markets just announced that it has arranged approximately $190 million acquisition financing for ten healthcare properties totaling 857,779 square feet.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Big Sky Medical Real Estate, in securing the five-year, floating-rate loan from a bank syndication led by Capital One Healthcare.

“Despite a challenging environment, our team and JLL persevered and successfully syndicated this loan to close out a successful 2022 for Big Sky’s partnership with GFH,” said Jason L. Signor, founder and CEO of Big Sky Medical. “We value our relationships with Capital One and the syndication group.”

The properties, which are collectively 87% occupied, serve a wide range of healthcare uses, including outpatient medical office buildings, ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic imaging centers and more. The portfolio includes:

• Pyramids North, 9201 North Central Expressway, Dallas, Texas
• Pyramids South, 9101 North Central Expressway, Dallas, Texas
• Providence Park, 2501 Earl Rudder Freeway, College Station, Texas
• Greenpark MOB, 7515 Main St., Houston, Texas

JLL’s 2022 Healthcare and Medical Office Perspective highlights that patients are moving to sunbelt states and retirement markets such as Texas, Louisiana and California at exponential rates creating more demand for medical office buildings. As a result, medical office occupancy has ticked upwards as demand intensifies in a moderate construction environment which has gradually increased rents for the 11th quarter in a row.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Managing Directors Timothy Joyce and John Chun and Director Anthony Sardo.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Big Sky Medical team to help capitalize this outstanding portfolio of medical office assets in diverse, high growth markets. We would like to thank the lenders for stepping up in a challenging environment and providing a great debt package for these acquisitions,” says Joyce.
