NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RREEF Property Trust, Inc. (ZRPTAX, ZRPTIX, ZRPTTX) today announced the acquisition of 40 Allied Drive in Dedham, MA, a fully-leased Class-A, 64,127 rentable-square-foot medical office building outside of Boston, Massachusetts. The acquisition continues RREEF Property Trust’s strategy to diversify its holdings based on sector and geography.
The property was built in 2013 by the Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Company (GBMC). It houses the New England Baptist Outpatient Care Center which provides a full spectrum of orthopedic-related services including state-of-the-art operating rooms, a post-anesthesia care unit, post-operative physical therapy and imaging space, among other amenities. The Property is anchored by New England Baptist Hospital, a leading provider of orthopedic surgery and musculoskeletal treatment. Situated off Route 128/I-95, the property is less than 20 miles from central Boston, accessible via commuter rail and positioned less than 1 mile from the area’s premier shopping, dining and entertainment center.
“Strong demand in the medical office building market has been driven by macro-economic tailwinds, specifically the Affordable Care Act and the aging population. Rising health care costs and technological changes are also pushing outpatient care into medical office buildings, which offer better cost efficiencies compared to hospital facilities,” said Todd Henderson, Chairman of the Board of RREEF Property Trust and Head of Real Estate, Americas, at Deutsche Asset Management. “40 Allied Drive is a high-quality property that is well situated in a region where medical office space supply is generally more constrained due to the high barriers to entry.”
