JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with more than $5.9 billion in portfolio assets and advised by LaSalle Investment Management, today announced the acquisition of Duke Medical Plaza, a nearly 60,000-square-foot, world-class, medical office building in Durham, North Carolina. The purchase price was approximately $37 million.
Occupying more than 86 percent of the property, Duke University Health System, an affiliate of Duke University, is the anchor tenant of the four-story property. The health system recently agreed to a lease extension and expansion that will increase the property’s occupancy to 96 percent with a weighted average lease term of more than nine years. Duke Health, the umbrella organization for the broad activities of the Duke University healthcare affiliates that occupy the property, is the state’s dominant academic healthcare provider, with 31 percent of local market share, and is ranked as the best hospital in North Carolina.
“We’re thrilled to add Duke Medical Plaza to our growing healthcare portfolio, as we continue to make healthcare-focused properties our priority focus within the office sector,” said JLL Income Property Trust President and CEO Allan Swaringen. “This well-located property, occupied by a world class tenant, fits squarely into our strategy of acquiring medical office buildings with these traits. This acquisition further diversifies our portfolio across our targeted property sectors that align with our Research & Strategy team’s recommended overweights.”
Constructed in 2010, Duke Medical Plaza is strategically located at the intersection of Interstate 40 and US 15-501 in the sought-after Research Triangle submarket, making it a close drive to large health systems including Duke Health and UNC Health in both Chapel Hill and Durham, respectively. This location provides easy access for patients and access to a highly educated workforce. Additionally, the property is in the middle of a large mixed-use center that includes a hotel and three forthcoming apartment communities.
This acquisition increases JLL Income Property Trust’s healthcare allocation to 15 properties totaling more than 1.1 million square feet, valued in excess of $450 million and representing approximately 8 percent of its overall portfolio
