Trinity Oaks Medical Arts Building came online in 2008 and was more than 91 percent leased at the time of sale. Its tenants include the Orthopaedic Associates of West Florida, a subsidiary of the Florida Orthopaedic Institute, Women’s Care and Academic Alliance in Dermatology.

The facility is part of a three-building BayCare Health System complex totaling about 99,000 square feet. The property is at 2044 Trinity Oaks Blvd., some 34 miles from downtown Tampa, Fla. Medical providers in the surrounding area include Orange Blossom Women’s Group, East Lake Pediatrics. HCA Florida Trinity Hospital is less than 3 miles away.

MOB investment stays strong

The medical office real estate sector continues to remain robust, with outpatient volumes expected to increase by 26 percent in the following 10 years, according to a Savills white paper. Additionally, favorable economic factors such as the interest rate cuts are expected to lead to a rise in MOB investments.

In October, MedCraft Investment Partners acquired Sisters Grove Pavilion, a 108,204-square-foot medical office building in Colorado Springs, Colo., for $31.2 million. CommonSpirit Health sold the 2008-completed asset.
