Two Washington, D.C. area medical offices trade

BOSTON, September 13, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of Shady Grove Professional Centers I and II, two multi-tenant medical office buildings that total 103,249 square feet in Rockville, Maryland adjacent to the Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of Anchor Health Properties and MedProperties. An affiliate of Heitman LLC (Heitman), a global real estate investment management firm, acquired the asset.

The buildings are 87%-leased to a variety of tenants and are anchored by Capital Digestive Care, Johns Hopkins and independent physician groups. Shady Grove Professional Centers I and II are multi-specialty clinical buildings with more than 15 medical specialties and ambulatory surgery centers with 18 operating and procedure rooms. Aside from surgery centers, the properties include top specialty practices such as gastroenterology, MRI and imaging, pediatrics, primary care, family care and ophthalmology among others.

Located at 15001 and 15005 Shady Grove Rd., Shady Grove Professional Centers I and II are adjacent to the 329-bed Adventist Healthcare Shady Grove Medical Center, the market leading acute care center in the area. The properties benefit from their position within the D.C. Metro, the sixth largest in the U.S. with nearly 6.3 million citizens. The average household income within a three-mile radius of the buildings is $156,056 and 65.2% of residents in the Shady Grove submarket hold a bachelor’s degree or higher.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Brannan Knott, Senior Managing Director Mindy Berman, Directors Dave Baker and Anthony Sardo, Senior Director Chris Hew and Associate Landon Weaver. Leasing support is provided by Senior Managing Director Amanda Davis and Senior Vice President JG Cahill.

“This was an ideal time to buy, as the Shady Grove medical office market continues to experience considerable expansion with the hypergrowth of the life science submarket and the construction of the new Adventist Healthcare bed tower,” Knott said. “The Shady Grove Professional Centers garnered significant interest from the healthcare investment community from industry veterans such as Heitman and new entrants due to the rare scale, acuity and campus adjacent location within a sought-after metro.”
