Sila Realty Trust has acquired two medical outpatient buildings (MOBs) in Southlake, Texas, US, in a deal valued at $16.15m.

The acquired portfolio consists of a gastroenterology centre and an ambulatory surgery centre (ASC), both of which cater to a shared physician group and patient demographic.

The gastroenterology facility is leased to Cardinal Health subsidiary GI Alliance.

GI Alliance is said to be the largest gastroenterology group in the US, with a network of over 1,000 physicians.

In January this year, Cardinal Health secured a 73% stake in GI Alliance for nearly $2.8bn.

Cardinal Health operates as a publicly traded entity, providing a range of healthcare services and products, and serves a significant portion of hospitals across the US.

The ASC is leased to a joint venture that includes United Surgical Partners International and Baylor Scott & White Health, along with a group of physicians.

Baylor Scott & White Health is a not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas. United Surgical Partners International is Tenet Healthcare’s for-profit subsidiary.

Sila Realty Trust president and CEO Michael Seton said: “The operational integration of the Southlake Healthcare Facilities paired with the strong institutional support of the tenancies are key characteristics that we seek in the triple-net lease healthcare facilities that we endeavour to own.

“The ASC’s affiliation with Baylor Scott & White Health and the tenants’ focus on the best possible outcomes for patients result in strong operating performance and, consequently, durable income streams for Sila.” Sila Realty Trust focuses on making investments in the healthcare sector.
