Orlando, Fla., Oct. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CNL Healthcare Properties, a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on senior housing and healthcare facilities, has acquired the Lee Hughes Medical Building, a 76,758-square-foot, Class A medical office building for approximately $29.9 million. Built in 2008, the property is located on the campus of the 500-bed Glendale Adventist Medical Center in Glendale, California, a part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Cypress West Realty Management Inc. will provide on-site leasing and asset management services. Cypress West, a company focused on the management of healthcare properties in the western United States, also manages three additional medical office buildings for CNL Healthcare Properties.
"As a newer, stabilized, on-campus property in one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas, this property is an attractive fit for our growing portfolio of healthcare facilities," said Stephen H. Mauldin, president and CEO of CNL Healthcare Properties. "We are excited that this acquisition gives us the opportunity to both strengthen our presence in southern California and grow our existing partnership with Cypress West."
Physically connected to the main hospital via a sky bridge, Lee Hughes Medical Building is a key component of the hospital campus. The building is 97 percent occupied, with a wide range of tenants, including an ambulatory surgery center leased by Adventist Health that is one of the newest and largest centers of its kind in the Los Angeles area. Glendale Adventist Medical Center is one of the largest hospitals in that region, and the Lee Hughes Medical Building is the only on-campus medical office building not owned by the hospital.
