Matthews™ Completes Sale of Two Medical Outpatient Buildings in Georgia

ATLANTA, GA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a medical office outpatient property located at 1468 Montreal Road in Tucker, Georgia. Matthews™ Vice President & Associate Director Ryan Burke and Senior Vice President & Senior Directors Michael Moreno & Rahul Chhajed represented the seller in the $7,000,000 transaction, which marked the third-highest sale price for a medical office property in the Northlake/Lavista submarket within the last year. The approximately 18,972-square-foot medical office property comprises two adjacent outpatient buildings leased to Atlanta Heart Specialists and Physio Physical Therapy under a modified NNN structure. Primely positioned within a dense healthcare corridor in the Atlanta MSA, the asset benefits from direct access to Interstate 285 and proximity to multiple major medical anchors, including several Emory hospitals. The seller brought the property to market as part of a broader long-term exit strategy following the sale of their medical practice, timing the transaction to capitalize on the asset’s strong rent roll and favorable underwriting. Drawing on a five-plus-year relationship with ownership, Matthews™ leveraged its healthcare product specialization, extensive market coverage, and deep understanding of physician owner-user dynamics to generate significant investor interest and secure the first buyer to go under contract. During the transaction process, the Matthews™ agents navigated the transition from in-house management to third-party property management, working through longstanding operational routines and ownership-specific processes to keep the deal moving efficiently. The transaction ultimately closed ahead of schedule. The buyer, Maple Street Management, was drawn to the opportunity to invest in healthcare real estate within the Atlanta MSA while satisfying a 1031 exchange. “This is a perfect example of a physician group realizing the benefits of having an exit strategy in place and executing it rather than kicking the can down the line,” Burke said. “With the right planning and execution, physician groups can align practice succession with real estate disposition in a way that preserves value and creates a smoother transition.” For more information, please contact Ryan Burke, Michael Moreno, and Rahul Chhajed or visit www.matthews.com.

San Francisco Business Times Features Chuck Evans

In a recent article with San Francisco Business Times, Matthews™ Market Leader Chuck Evans highlights the accelerating strength of San Francisco’s multifamily market and the resulting resurgence in investor activity across the Bay Area. Evans shared firsthand insights into the surge in rental demand, noting intense competition among renters in key neighborhoods. In one example, a North Beach property received dozens of applications within a single day, underscoring the supply-demand imbalance driving the market. He emphasized that this dynamic is fueling renewed investor confidence and transaction activity, particularly among middle-market buyers. “San Francisco has been seeing the highest rent growth in the United States and there’s a reason for it,” says Evans, pointing to strong fundamentals supporting the city’s rebound. “The market is so strong right now that buyers are gobbling these properties up.” Evans also discussed how this momentum is contributing to Matthews’ expansion in the region. Nearly a year after opening its San Francisco office, the team has grown significantly as multifamily demand continues to rise. He further noted that capital is flowing back into the market, with a growing number of investors, including tech professionals, seeking to acquire multifamily assets. “There is so much real estate in San Francisco and the Bay Area that we can harvest,” says Evans, highlighting both the depth of opportunity and the firm’s long-term outlook in the region. As rental growth continues and pricing gaps narrow, Evans’ perspective reflects broader optimism that San Francisco’s multifamily sector is entering a sustained recovery phase, supported by strong demand, improving fundamentals and increasing investor participation.

Matthews™ Facilitates Sale of Industrial Service Facility in Washington

PORTLAND, OR— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of an 8,193-square-foot industrial service facility located at 6705 Northeast 117th Avenue in Vancouver, Washington. Matthews™ First Vice President & Associate Director Andrew Wiesemann represented the seller in the transaction, with Brian Brockman as the broker of record. Adam Kowalski of Golden Bear Holdings executed a successful value-add strategy by acquiring the previously vacant asset and stabilizing the 4.23-acre property with a long-term lease to a national landscaping company. After achieving his business objectives and creating substantial value, Kowalski sold the property off-market to redeploy capital into new investment opportunities through a 1031 exchange. Leveraging deep industry relationships, Matthews™ directly sourced the buyer, Alterra IOS, whose flexibility allowed for the specific timeline the seller required to identify a replacement property. Led by Parker Pearson, Alterra was drawn to the opportunity to acquire a stabilized asset with a credit tenant in a highly supply-constrained market. The Matthews™ agent structured an extended closing period and maintained close coordination to keep the transaction moving efficiently and ensure a seamless execution that met the strategic goals of both parties. “Successful transactions are not just about matching a buyer and seller; they require understanding the motivations behind each side and creating a structure that supports them,” said Wiesemann. “Our role was to create a path that made sense for both parties and keep the transaction on track from start to finish.” For more information, please contact Andrew Wiesemann or visit www.matthews.com.

The building is currently leased to Gerber Collision and Glass, a subsidiary of Boyd Group Services, Inc., providing a durable industrial investment in a premier location. The Matthews™ agent generated significant interest, utilizing the firm’s collaborative platform, connecting an out-of-state 1031 exchange buyer divesting from a hotel portfolio in Montana to a stable industrial asset. This synergy allowed the investor to source a new product type and navigate the 1031 process across different markets. Throughout the transaction, Matthews™ maintained communication between both parties to resolve complicated lease language and maintenance issues that arose during escrow, ultimately securing an all-cash, 31-day close. “This transaction is a testament to the power of the Matthews™ platform and our ability to move capital across product types and state lines,” Stroud said. “Closing this deal required a high level of trust, persistence, and constant communication to navigate the complexities of the 1031 process and ensure a successful outcome for all parties.” For more information, please contact John Stroud or visit matthews.com.

Matthews™ Completed $17.27 Multi-State Sale-Leaseback IOS and Retail Portfolio

UNITED STATES— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the $17,275,000 sale-leaseback of a seven-property industrial portfolio located across several Sunbelt States. Matthews™ Vice President Aria Pournazarian, Senior Associate Thiago Delia, and Associates Brody Hess and Adam Rose represented the seller in the transaction. The portfolio was brought to market as part of a broader balance-sheet optimization initiative for a nationally recognized building materials & lumber distribution company. The transaction enabled the company to monetize company-owned real estate while maintaining long-term operational control of mission-critical facilities. Due to the complexity of the transaction and the need for institutional-level execution, the opportunity was not widely marketed to the open market. Matthews™ conducted a highly targeted outreach that generated multiple offers within a brief two-week engagement window for select investment groups. The Matthews™ agents ultimately sourced and executed the transaction with a well-capitalized investment group whose portfolio strategy and sector knowledge aligned closely with the sale-leaseback structure. Leveraging the competitive environment, Matthews™ secured pricing approximately 20% above the seller’s initial expectations while meeting the company’s critical timing requirements. “From day one, our focus was on protecting the client’s priorities while minimizing execution risk,” Pournazarian said. “Our platform helped build client conviction, as they were evaluating sale-leasebacks for the first time, and supported a clear path to pricing, timing, and certainty of execution.” For more information, please contact Aria Pournazarian, Thiago Delia, Brody Hess, and Adam Rose or visit www.matthews.com.

Lore was drawn to Matthews™ for its technology-driven platform and collaborative culture, which he believes will enhance his ability to serve clients and expand the firm’s investor reach throughout the Carolinas and the broader Southeast. “Affordable housing has become one of the most pressing challenges in almost every community across the United States. Manufactured housing communities and RV parks play an increasingly important role in addressing that need. Matthews’s platform provides the exposure, data, and execution capabilities needed to connect owners with the right investors and achieve stronger outcomes,” Lore said. Lore joins Matthews™ as the firm grows its footprint in the Charlotte market, laying the groundwork for expanded local coverage and client support across the Carolinas. Matthews™ Regional President of the East, Bill Pedersen said Lore’s addition reflects the firm’s broader strategy to deepen its presence in high-growth Southeast markets. “We see significant opportunity in the Charlotte market as we continue growing across the Southeast,” Pedersen said. “Nick will play a key role in expanding our reach and supporting clients throughout Charlotte and the broader Carolinas.” For more information or to contact a Matthews™ specialized agent, visit www.matthews.com.
