Alex. Brown Realty (ABR) and their joint venture partner, Heritage Properties, are pleased to announce the acquisition of a two-building medical office park located at 101 & 105 SW Cary Parkway in Cary, North Carolina.

The two-building portfolio is situated on 5.5 acres at the corner of Cary Parkway and Kildaire Farm Road, which boasts exceptional visibility to more than 50,000 vehicles per day. Located just one mile from WakeMed Cary Hospital, the properties are occupied by a diverse mix of medical office users. The medical park is being rebranded as Cary Medical Pavilion and the joint venture plans to complete approximately $2.5 million worth of upgrades to the portfolio by late October 2019. Planned improvements include a lobby and corridor renovation, elevator modernization, new suite entries, and roof replacement, among others.

"We are thrilled to acquire 101 SW Cary Parkway and continue growing our medical office portfolio. Our extensive history in the healthcare business and our experience developing high-end mixed-use projects will provide us with the knowledge to create a modern healthcare facility for medical practices to enjoy at a discount to new construction rents," said Ryan Blair, Partner & Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at Heritage Properties.

"This is an attractive value-add opportunity in a market that is experiencing strong demographic and office fundamentals," commented Tom Burton, ABR's Senior Managing Director and CIO. "In addition, Heritage is a strng local operator and we anticipate the successful implementation of the portfolio's business plan should produce attractive returns for our investors," added Burton. The acquisition represents the second joint venture between ABR and Heritage.

"These properties have tremendous potential, due to their prominent location and high visibility at one of Cary's most heavily trafficked intersections. The joint venture is bringing a needed infusion of capital to these buildings, which were originally constructed in 1986 and 1999. Given Heritage's track record of performance and their vision, it will be exciting to watch them reintroduce the property to the market."
