Remedy Medical Properties Completes Development of Piedmont Healthcare Medical Office Building. Remedy Medical Properties has announced the completion of the 5-story, 113,000 square foot Piedmont Medical Plaza II which it manages and owns. The plaza is on the Piedmont Newman Hospital campus in southwest Atlanta. This is the second outpatient care facility on the Newman campus and provides a large range of services. The project broke ground in fall of 2019 and construction was completed in December of 2020, with a move-in phase at the end of January 2021. The building serves as a one-stop healthcare destination for patients in the Atlanta area.

The space for Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which covers the fifth through eighth floors of the tower, is projected to take up to three years to build out. Once the space is completed, the school will utilize its new location for molecular therapies, research and treatment of breast and spinal cancers, outpatient care, and an imaging center.

Healthcare Real Estate Trends

Decline in Leasing Softens Fundamentals. Developers had more than 10 million-square feet of medical offices under construction in the nation’s major metros at the end of 2020 with completion dates stretching into 2023. More than half of the underway projects are due in 2021, providing the lowest delivery pace in more than 10 years. Reduced deliveries in 2020 still outpaced net absorption, raising vacancy to 9.4 percent, a year-over-year jump of 80 basis points and the highest rate since 2015. Leasing activity will likely recover relatively quickly once patients feel comfortable returning to medical providers for checkups and elective procedures.
