IRA Capital was drawn to this Portfolio for its strong submarket fundamentals, established partnerships with regional health systems, and its offering of best-in-class medical care in specialties such as advanced imaging, oncology, orthopedic surgery, fertility, gastroenterology, inpatient rehab, and internal medicine. Jay Gangwal, Managing Partner at IRA Capital, commented, "The strategic positioning of these assets, along with recent hospital expansion projects in the vicinity, is expected to drive increased demand within these medical corridors. We plan to invest additional capital to modernize the buildings and solidify them as best-in-market, further driving leasing velocity while supporting the long-term growth of its tenants."

Stephen Breedon, Senior Vice President of Oaktree's Real Estate Group, added, "We are excited to partner with a best-in-class operator in IRA Capital on the acquisition of this well positioned portfolio in supply constrained markets with excellent demographics. The medical outpatient sector offers attractive risk adjusted returns and is poised to benefit from accelerating national demand for high quality healthcare."

IRA Capital continues to be a key player in the healthcare real estate market, having invested approximately $410 million in healthcare real estate since the beginning of the year, with an additional $150 million expected to close in Q3 2024. The market for Medical Outpatient Buildings (MOBs) is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% through 2028, driven by an aging population and increasing healthcare demands. High-barrier-to-entry markets such as California and Texas are particularly appealing due to their strong economic fundamentals and limited property availability. The trend toward outpatient care, supported by technological advancements and patient preference for convenience, further underscores the sector's resilience and continued demand for Class-A medical space.
