Medical and office building in Durham sells for $11.5M

RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C., June 16, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $11.5 million sale of 4321 Medical Park Dr., a 79,202 square foot, two-story medical and office building in Durham, North Carolina.

JLL marketed the properties on behalf of the seller, 5401 Holdings Co LLC. Greenleaf Capital acquired the asset.

4321 Medical Park Dr. is anchored by Duke HomeCare & Hospice, a division of the renowned Duke University Health System, along with The Almac Group, a global pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization. Currently 78.2% occupied, the property features available space that is well suited for both lab and traditional office tenants.

Situated on 8.17 acres, the property is proximate to Duke Regional Hospital and downtown Durham. Durham is also home to Duke University, which ranks as one of the nation’s top research universities and leads the Country in R&D funding from private businesses. Additionally, 4321 Medical Park Dr. provides convenient access to the area’s major thoroughfares, including US-501 and Interstate 85.

Located within the greater triangle region, 4321 Medical Park Dr. benefits from the region’s diverse, thriving economy, bolstered by burgeoning life science, health care and STEM sectors and a highly educated work force. The property is in the North Durham office submarket, one of the fastest growing submarkets due to explosive population growth and exceptional regional connectivity. As a result, the area boasts strong market fundamentals as demand increases from major corporate users and expanding regional companies.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Directors Daniel Flynn and John Mikels, Senior Managing Director Ryan Clutter, Managing Director Chris Lingerfelt and Analyst Chris Irwin.

“The sale of 4321 Medical Park Drive is a testament to investor demand for high quality assets featuring stable cash flow and credit worthy underlying tenancy,” said Flynn. “Moreover, real estate has historically performed as a reliable hedge against inflation and investors are increasingly taking this into consideration given the broader macroeconomic trends we are observing.”

In addition, Matt Black of Envisage Law served as council for 5401 Holding Company, LLC.
