The 10 properties, which include one under construction, are in Tampa (three), Brandon and Clearwater, Fla.; Atlanta; Northfield, Ill.; Ann Arbor and Southfield, Mich.; and Houston, Joshua Pardue, associate director in SJC\u2019s New York office, told <i>Commercial Property Executive<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis transaction is significant due to the low benchmark cap rate achieved for a small-cap company, the unique nature of the veterinary use and the complexity of the master-lease structure,\u201d Pardue said in a release.<\/p>\n<p>His further comments suggest that it took dogged work to close the transaction: \u201cThis structure had to address a diverse national real estate portfolio with challenging nuances on multiple assets and be completed in two closings. SJC is pleased to have structured a transaction that helped capitalize a tremendous veterinary organization \u2026 and to structure a win-win that facilitated the investment objectives of Lexington.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The closings took place two and three weeks ago, Pardue told <i>CPE<\/i>. The cap rate was not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>The predecessor of BluePearl was formed in 2008 through the merger of veterinary operations in Tampa, New York and metro Kansas City. Large veterinary practices in Michigan and Georgia merged into the privately owned company in 2010, and the BluePearl name was adopted in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent merger, in November, added a veterinary hospital in Waltham, Mass. The company currently operates more than 30 hospitals in 13 states and employs more than 350 veterinarians.<\/p>\n<p>In 25 years, SJC has completed more than $14.8 billion in net-lease transactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lexington Realty Trust has bought a pack of 10 clinics operated by BluePearl Veterinary Partners, the nation\u2019s leading 24-hour emergency pet care provider, for $53 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004088079,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1489,21783,21754,21742,1612],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004088075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-atlanta","category-investment","category-medical-office","category-latest","category-tampa"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
