Matthews ™ Announces the Promotions of Michael Moreno and Rahul Chhajed

Two Leaders. One Vision. A Division Built to Last The partnership behind one of the most specialized healthcare real estate practices in the country Some partnerships are built on synergy. Others on shared conviction. The one between Michael Moreno and Rahul Chhajed is both. And, it has quietly become one of the defining forces of healthcare real estate. The Matthews ™ Foundation In 2016, two new agents with backgrounds in net lease retail joined Matthews™ with a shared instinct that an opportunity was hiding in a corner of commercial real estate most brokers weren’t paying attention to. That was the start of Matthews™ foray into healthcare real estate. The Matthews™ healthcare division is now one of the most recognized healthcare brokerage practices in the country. And with that, Matthews™ is proud to announce the promotions of Michael and Rahul to Executive Vice Presidents & Senior Directors. This is a recognition of the careers they’ve built, the division they’ve shaped, and the standard they’ve set for what specialized brokerage can look like at its best. What made Matthews ™ the right place to build something? Both Michael and Rahul point to the same things: a culture that prioritized development over hierarchy, a collaborative platform that gave agents the tools to move fast, and an environment that supported their endeavors. Spotting the Gap Both started in the single-tenant net lease retail market, learning the fundamentals of deal velocity, client management, and transactional discipline. But as they moved through deals, a pattern emerged. Medical assets such as surgery centers, dialysis clinics, urgent care facilities were not only performing better than their retail counterparts but counterintuitively trading at a cap rate discount. And that’s where they saw an opportunity. That observation became a conviction, and that conviction became a division. By 2017, they were pioneering Matthews’™ push into healthcare investment sales, leveraging the firm’s platform and the deal-making foundation they’d built in retail to move quickly into a space where relationships and expertise were critical. Together, they scaled the Matthews™ Healthcare Division from two agents to more than 20 professionals, representing REITs, private equity firms, physician groups, developers, and healthcare operators across the country. What they’ve built The numbers tell part of the story. They have facilitated over $2.6 billion in total sales volume across more than 1,300 transactions and have earned recognition as one of the country’s top producers of healthcare, dental, and veterinary real estate sale transactions. Their promotions mark over a decade of work. And for a division that started with two agents and now has grown to a national practice, this is just the beginning.

Matthews™ Executes Sale of Mississippi’s Top Kroger Location

COLUMBUS, MS—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of a tier one grocery asset located at 1829 Highway 45 North in Columbus, Mississippi. Matthews™ Senior Vice Presidents Kyle Stonis and Pierce Mayson and Associate Vice President Boris Shilkrot represented the seller, MS Columbus 45, LLC, in the transaction. The Kroger is situated within the heart of Columbus’ retail corridor, benefiting from 31,200 vehicles per day along US-45. The Kroger ground lease parcel is occupied by the state’s #1 grocer, which committed to an early lease extension through 2041 with plans for expansion. MS Columbus 45, LLC, a longstanding client, elected to bring the 76,269-square-foot asset to market as part of a capital recycling strategy. Leveraging their deep market knowledge and an extensive network of both public and private investors, the Matthews™ agents recognized that the property’s two distinct parcels, a stabilized ground-leased Kroger and a value-add shop component, would appeal to fundamentally different buyer profiles. Facilitating a creative breakup of the asset, Matthews™ secured a publicly traded institution for the Kroger-anchored portion, while the adjacent inline shops are currently under agreement with a private buyer. “This was a great result for the Seller group and an excellent fit for the publicly traded Buyer,” Stonis said. “Given the recent scarcity of tier 1 grocery products available in the Southeast, proven Kroger assets like this one continue to command significant interest in the marketplace.” For more information, please contact Kyle Stonis, Pierce Mayson, and Boris Shilkrot or visit www.matthews.com.

OrthoLoneStar medical office 1031 exchange Houston Texas Kingwood NNN property

Matthews™ Executes Full-Cycle 1031 Exchange From Underperforming Asset to Well-Positioned Medical Office

HOUSTON, TX—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the acquisition of a single-tenant net lease medical office property located in Kingwood, TX. Matthews™ Executive Vice President & Senior Director Josh Bishop, Vice President & Associate Director Brett Baumgartner, and Associate Alex Larramendi represented the client in an end-to-end 1031 exchange. The buyer, a diversified healthcare investor, sought to optimize their portfolio through a 1031 exchange, trading out of an underperforming healthcare clinic in a tertiary Oregon market for a more stable, well-located medical asset. Leveraging the firm’s proprietary investor database, the Matthews™ agents secured a buyer for the downleg while simultaneously identifying the ideal replacement property with stronger fundamentals, a more sustainable rent structure, and superior long-term cash flow protection. The upleg property identified was a 15,219-square-foot purchase property that is 100% occupied by Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, a division of OrthoLoneStar, the largest independent orthopedic group in Texas, with over 40 providers across four Houston-area locations and more than 40 years of operating history. Leased under a NNN structure, Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine has operated the site for over 15 years. Situated near HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood and within a five-mile radius of more than 142,000 residents, the property is well-positioned to benefit from sustained demand for healthcare services in the growing Kingwood submarket. During due diligence of the upleg, Matthews™ successfully negotiated a brand new roof, eliminating out-of-pocket capital expenditures for the buyer and delivering significant improvements at acquisition. “It is not every day that we execute an exchange that checks every box, while the client also takes home a bigger rent check every month,” Larramendi said. “We are grateful to have had the opportunity to guide our client through both the downleg and upleg for a successful 1031 exchange, a process many investors find daunting given its tight time constraints.” For more information, please contact Alex Larramendi, Brett Baumgartner, and Josh Bishop or visit www.matthews.com.

DALLAS— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of Tractor Supply Company, located at 1215 US-380, Bridgeport, Texas. Matthews™ Executive Vice President & Managing Director Chad Kurz represented the seller, and Vice President & Associate Director Kevin McKenna represented the buyer in the transaction, which marked the highest price for a retail property sold in the Northwest Fort Worth submarket in the last year. The newly constructed 23,957-square-foot property sits on 3.61 acres and is leased to Tractor Supply under a new 15-year lease with scheduled rent growth. Positioned along US Highway 380, the asset benefits from strong visibility, convenient access, and proximity to surrounding national and regional retailers, supporting long-term tenant demand and investment stability. The Matthews™ agents leveraged the firm’s proprietary platform to directly source a trusted repeat buyer completing a 1031 exchange. The California-based investor was attracted to the property’s new construction, long-term lease, scheduled rent growth, and alignment with their net lease acquisition criteria. Through close coordination between both parties, Matthews™ facilitated an efficient transaction process, resulting in a 27-day closing. “Investor demand for essential retail tenants like Tractor Supply continues to drive the market, particularly for assets with long-term leases and strong real estate fundamentals,” McKenna said. “We were able to leverage our network to source an ideal 1031 exchange buyer and achieve a swift closing that met our client’s strategic objectives.” For more information, please contact Chad Kurz, Kevin McKenna, or visit www.matthews.com.

Brunswick West grocery-anchored shopping center Georgia sale Winn-Dixie

Matthews™ Facilitates Sale of a Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center in Georgia

BRUNSWICK, GA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of Brunswick West, a grocery-anchored shopping center, located at 5420 New Jesup Hwy in Brunswick, Georgia. Matthews™ Senior Vice Presidents Pierce Mayson & Kyle Stonis, and Associate Vice President Boris Shilkrot represented the seller in the transaction. Strategically positioned off I-95, one of the busiest thoroughfares on the Eastern Seaboard, the 77,485-square-foot asset serves as a primary retail destination for the Brunswick/Kingsland submarket, drawing from a wide trade radius and benefiting from 60,600 vehicles per day. The center is anchored by one of the few remaining Winn-Dixies in Georgia, which recently executed a new 10-year lease extension through 2034, and a new 13,500-square-foot Dollar Tree. The seller, H & R Brunswick, LLC, elected to bring the property to market as part of a strategic capital recycling strategy. The Matthews™ agents leveraged their deep expertise in Southeast grocery-anchored retail and a longstanding client relationship, having successfully executed four prior Winn-Dixie-anchored dispositions for the seller, to deliver a seamless transaction from start to finish. Matthews™ sourced the buyer directly, ultimately securing Hakimian Holdings, Inc., a Jacksonville-based family office for whom the asset represented a strong portfolio fit given its proximity and long-term cash flow profile. The buyer plans to continue operating the center to capitalize on its stable, long-term cash flow. “The sale of Brunswick West represents the final of 5 Winn-Dixie anchored assets that our team has executed for our seller,” Mayson said. “With an overall lack of available grocery-anchored product in the Southeast over the last year, this asset provided an excellent opportunity for the buyer to acquire a neighborhood grocery-anchored center with a long history of success at the location.” For more information, please contact Pierce Mayson, Kyle Stonis, and Boris Shilkrot or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Expands Multifamily Presence in Dallas with FVP Hire

DALLAS, TX— Matthews™, a commercial real-estate investment services and technology firm, welcomes Bryce Smith as First Vice President. Based in Dallas, Smith is an apartment investment sales professional specializing in B and C class multifamily properties, with a statewide footprint spanning Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and emerging secondary markets throughout Texas. Since entering multifamily brokerage in 2018, Smith has transacted more than $400 million in multifamily assets, advising clients on acquisitions and dispositions through a relationship-driven, results-oriented approach. Prior to joining Matthews™, Smith spent nearly eight years at The Multifamily Group, where he advanced from Senior Advisor to Senior Managing Director. Earlier in his career, he built his foundation through single-family sales and luxury apartment leasing. Smith joined Matthews™ to leverage the firm’s national platform, resources, and relationships to better serve clients and continue expanding his multifamily practice across Texas. “I’ve been fortunate to spend the last eight years working with multifamily owners and investors across Texas, and I’m excited for this next chapter with Matthews,” Smith said. “The firm has built an outstanding platform and reputation, and I look forward to continuing to grow my business while helping clients capitalize on opportunities throughout the market.” Matthews™ Senior Managing Director Andrew Gross says Smith’s addition is part of a broader initiative to strengthen the firm’s Dallas multifamily division. “Bryce brings the kind of technical expertise and market acumen that strengthens our operations on the ground in Dallas,” Gross said. “His deep roots across Texas and proven ability to execute in both primary and secondary markets make him an exceptional addition, and allow us to better serve clients across every stage of the transaction process.” Smith joins the firm at a pivotal moment in the Texas multifamily cycle. Rapid development across the Dallas metroplex has pushed the market into a supply digestion phase, yet the fundamentals driving renter demand remain firmly intact. Steady population growth, a declining homeownership rate among adults under 35, and elevated home prices and mortgage rates that have made purchasing increasingly unaffordable continue to sustain demand across the state.

Beginning June 1, the eight-week training program continues to extend its coast-to-coast reach, offering participants access to 124 specially curated lessons and modules. Led by Matthews™ President David Harrington, executive leadership, top producers, and nationally recognized industry experts, the program covers investment sales, leasing, capital markets, professional development, and career readiness. Harrington says Matthews™ University plays a defining role in shaping the culture, mindset, and discipline required to build a successful brokerage career. “In commercial real estate, lasting success comes from relationships, and we build them by delivering real value to owners through market expertise, sourcing opportunities, and grit,” Harrington said. “Matthews University gives every agent that foundation, along with the mentorship and guidance to turn it into client relationships that last.” Matthews™ University offers year-round training across more than 30 offices nationwide.

Chad Kurz Discusses How to Optimize Net Lease With GlobeSt

Look Beyond the Cap Rate Two different deals with equal cap rates may appear the same, but they rarely carry the same risk or upside potential. “People look at the cap rate as though the deals have the same amount of risk associated with them, but that is just not true,” says Kurz. “Not all cap rates are equal and a good broker or investor knows the difference.” Take two restaurant properties offered for sale; they are in a similar market, with a similar purchase price ($3MM), and a similar cap rate being offered (5.50%).The first property is a small drive-thru only building that can be purchased above replacement cost. It is paying substantially higher rent than market, and operates at a much lower EBITDAR coverage ratio. The second property is paying below market rent; and operating at a much higher EBITDAR coverage ratio. The downside of the first property is substantially higher, and the upside of that property is also substantially lower. It makes no sense that both assets will trade at the same price and the same cap rate, yet they do. As investors analyze deals, it is important to look beyond the cap rate and purchase price, explains Kurz. Learn from Past Mistakes Many investors focus on the quality and prestige of the tenant rather than the real estate fundamentals, but the physical asset is more important than the tenant alone. “Real estate is the ultimate security. Focus on quality real estate that happens to have a lease attached to it, don’t focus solely on the lease,” says Kurz. “With every net lease asset, the lease will eventually go away and you’ll be left with just the real estate. Buyers that don’t understand that often don’t realize they just purchased an annuity.” Buyers today, individual investors, family offices, DSTs, and large institutional investors, are making the same mistakes they have made in past decades. They purchase property based on the credit of the tenant and the length of the lease with little regard to the actual underlying real estate. As the lease term burns down, the credit of the tenant downgrades, or the tenant reduces rent or vacates, they lose a substantial amount of their initial equity. “If anything, the mistakes buyers are making today are worse than in the past,” says Kurz. “Twenty years ago, a premier credit tenant was at least located on a great corner, even if it was a challenging box to re-use. Today, some of the premier credit tenants are in challenging boxes to re-use, and they’re also located in undesirable locations.” Consider Shorter Lease Structures One of the other concepts buyers don’t understand is that higher interest rates and post-Covid inflation have had a major impact on new construction assets. Chad Kurz explains, “higher interest rates mean that developers are building at higher cap rates, and inflation means it’s more expensive to build. This has caused rent for new construction properties to be significantly higher than where they were just 5 years ago.” Understanding the nuances of net lease provides owners and brokers great opportunities in today’s market to manage their portfolio.
