Newmark announces it has arranged the sale of a freestanding, 8,409-square-foot medical office building situated on an oversized 1.14-acre site in Carson, California for $5,125,000, approximately $609 per square foot.
Executive Managing Directors Sean Fulp, Managing Directors Mark Schuessler and Ryan Plummer of Newmark’s Private Capital Group, in partnership with Executive Managing Director Garth Hogan represented the seller, a private family office. The buyer was represented by Newmark’s Managing Director David Ghermezian and Associate Director Jonathan Dadourian.
The property, located at 21501 Avalon Boulevard, is currently 100 percent leased to Providence Health & Services, that operates the site as an urgent care clinic with a portion dedicated to primary care. The property is situated adjacent to the 405 freeway and benefits from its proximity to UCLA-Harbor Medical Center.
“Freestanding medical office buildings are rare in the South Bay. A long-term lease from a credit tenant like Providence made this deal extremely attractive for a private investor looking for secure cash flow. The investment also functions as a covered land play, given the oversized parcel and surrounding development,” said Schuessler.
The city of Carson is in the midst of a development boom with nearly 1,000 residential units currently under construction or approved and more than 4,500 additional units proposed.
“We have seen a large uptick in interest over the past twelve months from private capital buyers looking for well-located medical assets with strong tenants,” said Fulp.
According to Newmark Research, medical office assets have outperformed most other commercial property types through the pandemic. The pandemic has highlighted the necessity of a robust medical industry in communities throughout the country.
