Welltower has acquired 1201 Alhambra, a 103,652-square-foot medical office building in Sacramento, Calif. NexCore Group sold the asset for $45.6 million, according to Sacramento County records. Colliers U.S. Healthcare Capital Markets facilitated the transaction.
The property previously traded in 2011 for $21.3 million, when the former owner bought the facility from AKT, CommercialEdge data shows.
Transaction activity in the medical outpatient sector has slowed down, showing a 40-basis-point contraction year-over-year as of March, a Marcus & Millichap report shows. According to the research, sales in the lower price range have affected the average sale price, leading to the need of having to find alternative financing for smaller assets.
