Elliot LaBreche & Abigail Kind Advise ShareMD on $6.5 Million Acquisition of Palm Beach County Medical Office Building
Atlanta-area buyer amassing commercial properties throughout Florida to grow its medical co-working space platform
Elliot Labreche and Abigail Kind advised ShareMD, a healthcare real estate and physician practice solution company, on the value-add acquisition of a 31,747-square-foot medical office building in Boynton Beach, Florida. ShareMD paid $6.45 million in the off-market deal that closed May 21. LaBreche and Kind represented ShareMD. The seller was Redfearn Capital.
The two-story building, located at 2828 S. Seacrest Boulevard, across the street from Bethesda Hospital East, is approximately 84% occupied. It is anchored by Orthopaedic Surgery Associates. Other key tenants include an imaging center, rehab center and an OBGYN clinic.
“Boynton Beach’s robust population growth and the building’s proximity to a major hospital owned by Baptist Health, fits perfectly with ShareMD’s investment strategy to acquire on-campus medical office assets in South Florida,” said LaBreche, who represents ShareMD throughout Florida. “By investing capital to modernize the building, my client hopes to improve occupancy and drive rent growth over time.”
Alpharetta, Georgia-based ShareMD has been making a big push into Florida to roll out its co-working medical suite concept which is already up and running in five Southern California locations. The company builds out clinical space for doctors and other medical professionals and then leases it by the half-day, day, week or month—allowing physicians to expand their geographic reach and save money by not being tied into long-term rents.
The Boynton Beach transaction represents the seventh medical building acquired by ShareMD in the past 20 months and increases its portfolio to 13 properties and over a million square feet of owned healthcare assets in Florida and California.
LaBreche represented the Atlanta-area investor in three of the Florida transactions. The first occurred in November 2019 when ShareMD entered the South Florida market with the acquisition of a 104,000-square-foot portfolio in Miami. In February 2020, it bought a 20-story medical/professional tower in Jacksonville for $67 million.
