TOLEDO, OHIO—Welltower has entered into a definitive agreement to buy a 29-property Class-A medical office building portfolio from Hammes Partners for $787 million. The properties are concentrated in the New York and Boston areas as well population centers in Massachusetts, California, Texas and Maryland. The portfolio is affiliated with Baylor Scott & White, Providence St. Joseph, Trinity Health, Medstar and other not-for-profit health systems and multi-specialty physician groups.
Separately, the REIT is also investing $885 million across four separate outpatient medical transactions that are currently under contract.
And in another transaction, Invesco Real Estate took a majority stake in a portfolio of 35 medical office buildings owned by Welltower in a $850 million joint venture with the REIT.
These transactions are the latest by Welltower as it builds out a formidable medical office portfolio. At the start of the year, it struck a deal to acquire a 55-asset medical office and outpatient facilities portfolio from CNL Healthcare Properties for $1.25 billion—the second largest medical office portfolio ever sold. That portfolio consists of 3.3 million square feet in major metropolitan markets across 16 states.
Year to date Welltower has closed or announced over $3.5 billion of outpatient medical acquisitions. These acquisitions, many of which have been off-market, total 450 properties and over eight million square feet to the company's platform.
These transactions establish Welltower as the largest commercial owner of medical office real estate in the country, according to CEO Thomas J. DeRosa, with a platform approaching 30 million square feet.
