Remedy, Kayne Anderson Real Estate Acquire Trophy Medical Office Portfolio In Denver Area

Joint venture partners Remedy Medical Properties and Kayne Anderson Real Estate have acquired a trophy medical office portfolio in the Denver suburb of Englewood.

The acquisition of the two-building, 68,195 square foot Dry Creek Medical Campus closed April 12.

Principals of Chicago-based Remedy and Boca Raton, Fla.-based Kayne Anderson Real Estate – which, aside from hospitals and health systems, are the nation’s largest owners of medical properties – say the acquisition has many upsides and provides their firms with a number of benefits.

“This acquisition gives us the opportunity to invest in a strong, highly coveted market with excellent demographics,” says Joe Magliochetti, Chief Investment Officer of Remedy. “The Denver area is one of America’s fastest growing regions. There are almost 234,000 residents within a five-mile radius of this property, and the population is forecasted to grow 3.4 percent between 2022 and 2027, compared to only 1.2 percent for the United States as a whole.”

The area also boasts an average household income of nearly $159,000, which is 51 percent more than the national average. As home to 10 Fortune 500 companies, the area also has a diverse, thriving economy with a steady influx of highly educated, talented workers.

“The campus location is also ideal, with easy access to local transportation,” Mr. Magliochetti adds. “It’s two blocks from Interstate Highway 25 and the Dry Creek Light Rail Station, and close to two major airports. It’s also within 10 miles of seven major hospitals, including Sky Ridge Medical Center, Littleton Adventist HospitNews Releaal and Centennial Hospital.”

The facilities, located at 135 and 145 Inverness Drive E., are 100 percent leased by six leading healthcare providers with complementary specialties. Services are centered around a full-service ambulatory surgery center (ASC) leased to Orthopedic Centers of Colorado (OCC) in partnership with SCA Health, the national leader in specialty care, which is owned by UnitedHealth Group. Dr. Metz Bariatric Surgery, which is also on the campus, recently became part of HealthOne, one of the leading health systems in Colorado. Other specialties housed in the properties include imaging, spine, orthopedics, anesthesia and dermatology.

“The properties house high-quality, well-respected medical tenants that have average remaining lease terms of almost nine years,” says Antonio Minchella, Senior Managing Director, Medical Office, Kayne Anderson Real Estate. “With average annual net operating income (NOI) growth of 3 percent, the assets will deliver a steady, predictable and growing income stream.”

Mr. Minchella adds that the two properties are relatively new, with the three-story 145 Inverness Drive building built in 2019 and the one-story 135 Inverness Drive facility built in 2000. The one-story building was completely renovated into an orthopedic surgery center in 2021 and now features seven operating rooms, three convalescent care rooms, and pre-op and post-op areas.

“The surgery center has been very successful and active, performing more than 500 surgeries a month, which is among the busiest in the Denver area,” Minchella adds.

CBRE U.S. Healthcare & Life Sciences served as the broker for the transaction.

Remedy And Kayne Anderson In Joint Venture Buy 13-Property MOB Portfolio In 8 States For $131M

Remedy Medical Properties, in a joint venture with Kayne Anderson Real Estate, has acquired the Project Prism medical office portfolio, a collection of 13 properties in eight states totaling 300,328 square feet.

The fully leased assets traded for $131 million, with the participation of JLL. The previous owner was Montecito Medical Real Estate, CommercialEdge data shows.

The medical office buildings are leased on a long-term basis with a weighted average lease term of 10.4 years.

 “The properties’ tenants have strong patient bases and track records, some of them being nationally renowned companies,” Remedy CIO Joe Magliochetti stated in prepared remarks.

Optum-Marsh, Halo Breast Center, Jordan Young Institute and Precision Spine Care are some of the health-care providers that occupy the facilities. On-site medical services include orthopedics, neurology, gastroenterology, radiology, imaging and surgery, as well as general spine and pain management, family medicine and other services.

Previous Joint Venture Acquisitions

The Project Prism portfolio is not the first acquisition for the Remedy-Kayne Anderson duo, as the joint venture’s purchasing history dates back to early 2022. In February, the partnership, alongside MedProperties Realty Advisors, formed a $350 million-plus joint venture to recapitalize a 23-asset health-care real estate portfolio totaling more than 1 million square feet.

Later that year, the companies added eight medical office buildings to their joint investments. The properties, located in Florida, Texas, North Carolina and Tennessee, changed hands for $91 million.

Kayne Anderson Reportedly Set To Close $2.5B Fund With Eye Toward Medical Office Buildings

In a move underscoring growing demand for medical office, Kayne Anderson Real Estate is set to close a $2.5 billion fund expected to spend approximately half of its money on the asset class, the Wall Street Journal reported this week, citing sources familiar with the fund.

While medical office buildings sales volume slowed in 2020, they performed better than most asset classes during the pandemic. A report from Colliers earlier this spring noted that MOB investment decreased 12.2% year-over-year in 2020 to hit $11.1 billion, while cap rates fell 20 basis points to 6.5%. But when compared to overall CRE, which posted a 32% decline in sales volume overall, those numbers look good.

“Cap rate stability reflects the continued desirability of healthcare as it became one of the most essential sectors in 2020,” Colliers said in the report, noting that investors view MOB as safe and durable even in the face of economic shockwaves.

The sector also saw an increase in activity in Q4, with sales volume rising to $3.6 billion from $2.1 billion in Q3.  Private equity investment led acquisition activity last year, accounting for 67% of total volume.

Investors may find, however, that supply will be an issue for the sector this year: aside from new construction, the market has a somewhat limited supply of investable inventory, according to Colliers, with healthcare systems holding nearly two-thirds of all healthcare real estate. The firm notes that with 30 million new square feet of new space expected this year, demand is still expected to outpace supply.

Experts also note that investors looking to repurpose office assets for medical uses should know that “it’s really not that easy,” according to Pete Bulgarelli, president and CEO of Lillibridge Healthcare Services and executive vice president, office, Ventas, who made the comments on CBRE’s ‘The Weekly Take’ podcast. The issue boils mostly down to the way in which physicians deliver care and utilize their space.

There are some headwinds that could slow the asset class’ performance. Medical office REITs could face some disruption as changes like telemedicine continue to change the way care is provided. While the overall impact of telehealth is still TBD, a recent BTIG notes that some features are already becoming clear.

“This trend is partially reorganizing the system by bringing care to the patient rather than the patient to the healthcare while treating them as a consumer,” BTIG analysts wrote. “Recent years have seen a continued push to move care to the lowest acuity setting, and with advancing technology that setting might increasingly be the patient’s home.”
