Physicians Realty Trust Purchases Premier Atlanta Medical Office Building

Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE:DOC) (“the Company”), a self-managed healthcare properties REIT, announced today the execution and closing of a contract to purchase the Peachtree Dunwoody Medical Center (the “Medical Center”), a premier multi-tenant medical office building located in the heart of Atlanta's "Pill Hill" hospital market. The purchase price was $36.6 million, representing a cap rate of approximately 7% based on the net operating income expected to be generated by the property in 2014. The transaction closed on February 28, 2014. The Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand and paid off the existing debt secured by the building.

In addition, on February 28, 2014, the Company completed its previously announced purchase of a medical office building located on the campus of Foundation Surgical Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. The building is 100% occupied and was purchased for a price of $6.8 million, representing a first year cash yield of 8%.

The Medical Center in Atlanta has approximately 131,000 rentable square feet and is 96% occupied with approximately 5,000 square feet available for rent. Northside Hospital is the largest tenant in the building with 42,383 square feet including clinical office space, an ambulatory surgery center with seven operating rooms, an imaging center, and sleep medicine facilities. Peachtree Orthopedics is the second largest tenant with 26,785 square feet consisting of clinical office space, an ambulatory surgery center, a physical therapy treatment facility, and an imaging center. Collectively, these two tenants occupy over half of the building. The remainder of the space currently on lease is occupied by eight other tenants, including primary care physicians, specialists, and other healthcare providers.

John T. Thomas, President and CEO of Physicians Realty Trust, stated, “Peachtree Dunwoody Medical Center has a long history as the premier multi-tenant medical office building in Atlanta's Pill Hill district, with close proximity to Northside Hospital's flagship location, Emory-St. Joseph's Hospital, and Scottish-Rite Children's Hospital. The building is 96% occupied with long-standing high quality healthcare provider tenants and Physicians Realty Trust has the opportunity to lease the additional 5,000 square feet, further enhancing the net operating income potential of the property. We also have sufficient parking at the facility to expand the building by an additional 30,000 rentable square feet, providing an exciting opportunity for future growth at this facility.”
