MOB/ASC/Hospital Transactions, Groundbreakings & Openings

MOB fundamentals remain strong but uneven: a Q3 outlook reported 92.2% occupancy, 1% inventory growth versus 2.4% ambulatory employment growth, and $17.6 billion in transaction volume through Q3. Recent local datapoints include a $10.5 million sale of two Fresenius dialysis clinics totaling 33,645 square feet and a nearly 12,000-square-foot Newark, Ohio, medical office building targeting spring 2027. High costs and a shrinking pipeline constrain development; underwriting should emphasize clinical productivity and utilization as well as occupancy.
