Irvine, CA

Healthcare providers are getting more strategic about their real estate strategy. Providence St. Joseph Health has sold the first phase of a 10-property portfolio totaling 344,000 square feet for $59 million. The properties are located in California, Washington, Oregon and Montana. Providence sold the assets as part of its strategy to optimize operational efficiency and unlock capital, a growing trend in the healthcare market.

"The purpose of this portfolio sale was specifically directed towards freeing up capital tied up in non-strategic assets to be redeployed towards strategic initiatives, which is a trend I see growing with health systems that have real estate portfolios," Garth Hogan, executive managing director of healthcare west at Newmark Knight Frank, tells GlobeSt.com. "Even with the challenges surrounding the Affordable Care Act and its future, healthcare real estate investment remains strong."  Hogan represented Providence in the deal, along with Sean Fulp and Mark Schuessler of NKF.
