Bucktown Medical Campus II is a healthcare campus comprised of two, single-story buildings totaling 69,314 SF and is located in Langhorne, PA approximately 20 miles northeast of Philadelphia. The single-story layout of the property works well for medical office tenants as it provides private ground-floor entrances that offer ease of access for their patients.
The Investment Team views the acquisition as an attractive opportunity to create a cohesive, local medical campus in the submarket, with synergies across two GCREIT owned properties, Bucktown Medical Campus I and Bucktown Medical Campus II. The upside potential is in converting traditional office and flex space into medical office use, a strategy that has already been proven out in the campus, which will result in higher rents, longer lease terms, and higher renewal probabilities.
At the time of acquisition, the property is leased to a mix of medical office, traditional office, and flex users. The investment strategy will be to increase medical office use percentage at the buildings over time, with the ultimate goal of creating a cohesive, local medical campus in the submarket.
The GCREIT has strong conviction in the value creation of combining two smaller office/medical/flex transactions into a larger campus, adding institutional quality healthcare management focused on expanding the medical tenancy and improving the campus feel of Bucktown I and Bucktown II Medical Campuses
