Matthews™ Completes Sale-Leaseback of Legacy Brain & Spine Portfolio in Georgia

ATLANTA, GA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale-leaseback of a nine-property medical office portfolio located across Atlanta and Northern Georgia. Matthews™ Vice President & Associate Director Ryan Burke and Senior Vice Presidents & Senior Directors Rahul Chhajed & Michael Moreno represented the seller in the transaction, which marked the highest sale price for a privately owned medical office sale-leaseback portfolio sold in Georgia within the last year.   The seller and founder of Legacy Brain & Spine, Dr. Said Elshihabi, sought to capitalize on the 92,200-square-foot portfolio he amassed over years of clinical growth. This transaction allowed the seller to monetize his real estate holdings at an opportune time in the market cycle while securing long-term operational control of the facilities through a long-term NNN lease structure.   Due to the various surgery centers and sub-tenant dynamics within the sale-leaseback structure, the Matthews™ agents leveraged their product-specific expertise to navigate the intricate title work and clinical requirements. Through a targeted marketing process, Matthews™ directly sourced a buyer who was attracted to the credibly backed tenancy structure and secured a 45-day closing.   “Our deep understanding of clinical operations allowed us to bridge the gap between a high-caliber operator and a sophisticated buyer,” Burke said. “By maintaining a relentless pace and clear communication, we were able to navigate every hurdle and secure an ideal outcome for both Dr. Elshihabi and Reliant Net Lease.”   Reliant Net Lease acquired the portfolio as part of its strategy to grow its net lease holdings through high-quality healthcare real estate backed by an established operator.   For more information, please contact Ryan Burke, Rahul Chhajed, Michael Moreno or visit www.matthews.com.   About Matthews™ Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, holds recognition as an industry leader in investment sales, leasing, and debt and structured finance.

Matthews™ Completes Sale of STNL IOS Facility in Colorado

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of an STNL industrial outdoor storage (IOS) facility, located at 7925 & 7985 Industry Road in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Matthews™ Vice President Spencer Mason and Associate Jack Kuzio represented the buyer in the transaction.   Positioned on a strong corner lot in the Northeast submarket, the 24,000-square-foot property features rare I-3 industrial zoning, a fully paved yard, covered parking, and a low 9% coverage ratio, providing significant outdoor storage functionality. The 6.07-acre asset has been occupied by a global telecommunications company since the 1980s and is leased under an Absolute NNN structure with more than five years on the remaining term.   Matthews™ directly sourced the buyer, a repeat client with whom the firm has completed several similar IOS transactions. Leveraging its existing relationship and familiarity with the buyer’s acquisition criteria, the Matthews™ agents identified the asset as a strong fit for the buyer’s expanding Colorado IOS portfolio. By securing an all-cash offer that provided certainty of close and expedited the escrow timeline, Matthews™ maintained close coordination between both parties throughout the process to ensure a smooth closing.   “The acquisition of 7925 & 7985 Industry Rd highlights the continued demand for well-located, low-coverage IOS sites leased to strong national tenants, particularly those offering passive ownership through Absolute NNN lease structures,” Mason said. “Assets with this combination of long-term tenancy, functional yard space, and rare zoning remain highly attractive to investors seeking durable industrial opportunities.”   For more information, please contact Spencer Mason, Jack Kuzio, or visit www.matthews.com.   About Matthews™ Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, holds recognition as an industry leader in investment sales, leasing, and debt and structured finance.

Blog Image for Matthews Walmart Portfolio Closing

Matthews™ Completes All-Cash Sale of $30M Walmart Portfolio in GA and SC

TAMPA, FL— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a Walmart Portfolio, located at 108 S Westover Blvd in Albany, Georgia, 801-AE General Stewart Way in Hinesville, Georgia, and 680 Old Greenville Hwy in Clemson, South Carolina. Matthews™ First Vice President and Associate Director Daniel Gonzalez, and Associates Princeton Douglass & Levi Veleanu represented the buyer in the $30,478,338 transaction.   The 124,197-square-foot portfolio is comprised of three single-tenant retail assets secured by long-term leases with Walmart, an investment-grade tenant with a high credit profile and market dominance. Because Walmart owns the vast majority of its real estate and often exercises its Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on leased locations, acquiring Walmart-leased properties presents a meaningful barrier to entry for buyers looking to avoid above-market exchange premiums.   Leveraging the firm’s proprietary database and institutional relationships, Matthews™ sourced a qualified institutional buyer within hours of learning of the seller’s intent to dispose of the assets. The publicly traded retail owner was attracted to the portfolio’s investment-grade stability and the rare opportunity to acquire multiple Walmart-anchored assets at market pricing to expand its high-quality holdings. The transaction allowed the seller, a private institutional multifamily owner, to facilitate a 1031 exchange into multifamily properties, aligning with their core business strategy. Despite the complexities of navigating varying ROFR timelines, the Matthews™ agents diligently maintained close coordination between both parties to ensure an all-cash, 40-day close that balanced the seller’s need for a quick timeline with the buyer’s focus on favorable pricing   “This was a high-stakes negotiation involving two institutional entities with deep market knowledge,” Gonzalez said. “I am incredibly proud of Douglass and Veleanu who displayed a level of persistence and sophistication that ensured this all-cash deal reached the finish line on an unbeatable timeline. It’s a testament to Matthews™ efforts of developing young talent and putting them in a position to execute for institutional-tier clients, proving that our firm’s energy and tech-driven approach consistently outperform traditional market expectations.”   For more information, please contact Daniel Gonzalez, Princeton Douglass, Levi Veleanu or visit www.matthews.com.   About Matthews™ Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, holds recognition as an industry leader in investment sales, leasing, and debt and structured finance.

Matthews™ First Vice President and Associate Director Daniel Gonzalez and Associate Nikolai Novak represented the buyer in the $8,800,000 transaction.   Originally developed by the seller, the 44,000-square-foot retail property was brought to market after a 20+ year hold. Initially listed at $10,000,000 with a local firm, the asset had remained available for more than two years with limited activity.   Leveraging proprietary technology and a national database, the Matthews™ agents generated three off-market offers and ultimately sourced a private client from Massachusetts seeking a large-scale retail investment.

The 5,239-square-foot space will expand the firm’s presence in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, further strengthening its national footprint and reinforcing its coast-to-coast reach.   Matthews™ has held a long-standing track record in the Mid-Atlantic and first established its local presence in Washington, D.C. with the strategic hires of Senior Vice President & Director Josh Ein in 2023 and Executive Vice President Ed Laycox in 2025. Together, the two seasoned veterans have sold over 400 transactions totaling $2 billion across single-tenant and multi-tenant retail.

We are beyond excited to bring our relentless work ethic and execution to one of the most influential markets in the world.”   Bill Pedersen, Regional President of the East, says the firm’s Bethesda flagship is a direct reflection of Matthews’™ continued national growth and commitment to entering markets that matter most.   “The Mid-Atlantic and Washington, D.C. corridor represents an enormous opportunity, from government-leased assets and institutional capital to private investors deploying capital across every asset class, Pedersen said. “We are excited to bring the full weight of our platform to bear in this region. The opportunity in this corridor is significant, and we’re positioned to capitalize on it for years to come.”   The Class A office space delivers a high-quality environment for agents and clients in the heart of Bethesda, located one block west of the Red Line station and just north of Bethesda Row, Matthews™ new office on 4800 Montgomery Lane positions the firm at the intersection of government, institutional capital, and private investment in one of the region’s most dynamic commercial real estate markets.   For more information, please contact a Matthews™ agent or visit www.matthews.com.   About Matthews™ Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, holds recognition as an industry leader in investment sales, leasing, and debt and structured finance.
