Key Takeaways
Suburban Expansion: Mount Carmel Dublin, located at I-270 and Sawmill Parkway, celebrated it’s grand opening on April 12.
Occupancy Trends: Occupancy rates are now sitting 1% above national average. This reflects a general slowdown in new construction given the current combination of high interest rates and building costs.
Lease Rates: Average lease rates for healthcare properties in Columbus have increased year-over-year to $22.54/SF, though they remain below the national average. The combination of limited new supply and growing demographics continues to keep upward pressure on rents.
Insurance Uncertainty: From the tenant side, we have seen a notable slowdown in deal activity for practices with a significant Medicaid or Medicare base given uncertainty in those markets. Private equity valuations for behavioral health platforms show a preference for geographic diversification and healthy insurance mixes.
