Demand for MOBs Greater Than Ever

LOS ANGELES-Even after a record-setting year for medical office building sales in 2012, it doesn’t look as if would-be investors have any plans to slow down their pursuit of the product type for the remainder of 2013.  That’s the news from the most recent National Medical Office Investor Update, published quarterly by the Healthcare Capital Markets Group of CBRE Group Inc.

In the newsletter, Chris Bodnar and Lee Asher, co-leaders of CBRE’s Healthcare Capital Markets Group, report that respondents to its recent Healthcare Real Estate Investor/Developer Survey have allocated a total of $7.7 billion for MOB acquisitions in 2013.
