Newmark has announced the sale of the first phase of a more than 344,000- square-foot, 10-property portfolio for Providence St. Joseph Health (PSJH) for a total value of approximately $59 million.
The 10 properties are located in the states of California, Washington, Oregon and Montana and range in asset type from medical to office and flex industrial. Newmark Executive Managing Directors Garth Hogan and Sean Fulp along with Director Mark Schuessler handled the disposition on behalf of PSJH.
For PSJH, the objective of the portfolio sale is to optimize operational efficiency and unlock capital. In mid-2019, PSJH partnered with Newmark to sell a selection of non-essential real estate assets located across Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana and California.
The second phase of assets to be sold will be released to the market in early 2020 which will be comprised of medical, office and land assets in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana and California.
“We’re thrilled with the year-end results of the Phase One asset sale. All 10 transactions required coordination and expertise in multiple markets. PSJH plans to continue with its strategy to unlock capital in non-strategic assets for the purpose of redeployment of capital towards strategic initiatives. Newmark has proven themselves as a true real estate partner in accomplishing this goal.” said Director of Real Estate Strategy and Operations for PSJH Bill Martin.
Hogan added, “The buyers were a diverse group of investors ranging from private equity funds to physicians and multi-family developers. Proceeds from the first round of sales have already been earmarked for strategic acquisitions throughout the PSJH service areas.”
