Montecito’s health-care portfolio

Since 2006, Montecito Medical has acquired medical office properties in 35 states across the U.S., valued at more than $5.1 billion.

Last year in August, Montecito expanded its Florida footprint with the acquisition of a 37,000-square-foot medical office building in Lithia. Rubin Real Estate Advisors sold the asset for $20 million.

A more recent transaction closed early this year, when the company sold a 13-property portfolio to a partnership between Remedy Medical Properties and Kayne Anderson Real Estate. The assets, located in eight states, traded for $131 million.
