HEALTHCARE INVESTMENT GROUP PHOENIX METROPOLITAN AREA FIRST QUARTER, 2016 HEALTHCARE REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW Phoenix s Medical Office Sector ended 2015 in a strong position, and has continued that momentum into 2016. Activity is buoyed by the market s competitive pricing, job growth and population growth, which includes a significant piece of the nation s 65-and-older demographic. Together, these factors have pushed metro Phoenix s average medical office vacancy rate to sub-17%, continuing a seven-year trend of improving occupancy. Values have also remained strong, averaging approximately $120.00 per-square-foot at year-end 2015 for medical office space and $166.00 persquare-foot for condo space. Rents average approximately $22.00 per-square-foot full service, representing an almost 1.5 percent year-over-year growth. Recognizing the longevity of the Phoenix market, investors continue to place capital in single and multitenant medical buildings, and in local medical retail space (a sector that, at the end of 2015 boasted a median cap rate that was 15 basis points below the rest of the market). During the final quarter of 2015, Phoenix recorded $104 Million in medical office sales, with an average price of $253.00 per-square-foot. Location remains a key differentiator in medical office space, with owners and investors placing high value on sites that can be easily accessed by patients in the 65-and-older category a demographic that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) says makes between 6.2 and 7.2 medical office visits each year. By locating in areas where these individuals live and shop, medical facilities can brand themselves as part of the community. This is a strong advantage for companies like Aetna, who significantly expanded its market footprint in 2015 with its acquisition of Humana Inc. In 2016, the Phoenix population is expected to grow by more than 2%. This will only further spur the need for local medical office and retail space, and already has medical-related entities searching high and low for new site options. Many are getting creative, considering urban addresses like MetroCenter, Fiesta Mall and Downtown Phoenix locations that are situated in the heart of high-density, highdemand populations and can be economically converted for medical use. With the nation s 65-and-older demographic expected to hit 17 million in the next decade, there is little doubt that these projects will remain in high demand for years to come.
