Highlights:

  • 26 medical office facilities totaling 1,390,646 rentable square feet with 90.4% occupancy
  • Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) affiliated hospitals and physicians lease 75% of the rentable square feet in these facilities
  • 82% of the rentable square feet of these facilities are on a CHI hospital campus
  • Additional medical office facilities under executed Purchase and Sale Agreements to be acquired from CHI later in the second quarter of 2016

Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE:DOC) (the “Company,” the “Trust,” “we,” “our” and “us”), a self-managed healthcare real estate investment trust, today announced that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced pending purchase of medical office facilities from Catholic Health Initiatives (“CHI”). The first tranche included 26 medical office facilities for a purchase price of approximately $324 million. These 26 facilities are 90.4% occupied, with 75% of the space leased by CHI affiliated hospitals and physicians.

John T. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, commented, “We are honored to have been chosen by Catholic Health Initiatives to acquire 51 mission-critical medical office buildings leased primarily to CHI’s affiliated hospitals in 10 markets. This was not only the largest ever hospital monetization of medical office buildings, but also the first step toward establishing a long term partnership with CHI. Our team has worked closely with CHI and its affiliates in each market over the past three months to complete this acquisition, and with today’s acquisition, we have taken over property management in the multi-tenant CHI facilities. We are working closely with our partners at CHI to complete the final purchase of the remaining medical office facilities as soon as reasonably practical after CHI receives consent from the Vatican for the sale. Except for one project that is currently under construction, we expect the closing on the remainder of the portfolio to occur by the end of the second quarter, but we cannot provide any assurance that any or all of these follow-on acquisitions will be completed.”
