CNL Healthcare Properties Acquires Nine Medical Office Buildings for Approximately $238 Million

(ORLANDO, Fla.) Dec. 29, 2014 — CNL Healthcare Properties, a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on senior housing and healthcare facilities, has acquired a portfolio of nine Class A medical office buildings in the Southeastern United States for approximately $238 million. Located across North Carolina and Georgia, the properties combined have approximately 907,300 square feet of rentable space and are collectively 92 percent leased. All of the properties are anchored by market share leading health systems. 

The transaction is among the largest medical facilities transactions in the United States in 2014.

With these acquisitions, CNL Healthcare Properties has now invested approximately $825 million in medical office buildings, acute care and post acute care medical facilities, making the company one of the largest third-party owners of such facilities in the United States. The acquisition also increases the size of the company’s portfolio to 100 assets, including healthcare facilities and senior housing communities.

Meadows & Ohly, a best-in-class developer and manager of healthcare real estate across the Eastern U.S., will continue to lease and manage the properties on behalf of CNL Healthcare Properties.

“We believe the acquisition of this portfolio of medical office properties both allows us to expand our holdings with very high-quality on-campus assets and anchor health system tenants in attractive Southeastern markets, but also reaffirms our commitment to be a leader in this sector,” said Stephen H. Mauldin, president and CEO of CNL Healthcare Properties. “We are thrilled to establish an important relationship with Meadows & Ohly, a dynamic and leading developer and manager of healthcare facilities. We believe we share a common dedication to providing facilities that allow for the best possible patient treatment and care.”

“We are pleased to sell this portfolio of buildings to CNL Healthcare Properties, a firm that shares so many of our core values,” said Van Fletcher, vice president and principal of Meadows & Ohly. “The sale met the objectives of our investment partners and the long-term goals of our organization. CNL Healthcare Properties has a deep capacity to execute complex transactions, understands the healthcare marketplace and will be an excellent long-term partner for the clients we serve together.”
