The facility is 100% leased to a partnership affiliated with Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas, under a long-term triple-net lease with contractual annual rent escalations. Originally constructed in 2006 and expanded in 2017, the property is situated immediately adjacent to Medical City Denton, a 208-bed short-term acute care hospital operated by HCA Healthcare, and adjacent to Baylor Scott & White Heart Hospital – Denton.
The Denton market is well positioned to benefit from sustained growth across the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area, one of the fastest-growing MSAs in the United States. Continued population expansion and an aging demographic base are expected to support long-term demand for healthcare services in the region.
“Outpatient medical and inpatient rehabilitation services are supported by favorable long-term demographics and continued care delivery shifts,” said Julie Robinson, Clarion Partners Head of Healthcare. “This acquisition reflects our focus on healthcare assets with resilient fundamentals, strong locations, excellent tenancy, and a sustainable growth profile. We are excited to collaborate with Big Sky, whose operational expertise and strategic vision will help unlock additional value at the facility.”
“This acquisition marks our first transaction with Clarion Partners, and we are excited to establish this partnership with a firm that shares our conviction that healthcare facilities are among the most resilient and mission-critical assets in real estate,” said Jason Signor, CEO of Big Sky Asset Management. “The deal reflects our continued focus on essential healthcare real estate supported by institutional-quality operators in high-growth markets. The combination of Baylor Scott & White’s operational strength and the property’s strategic positioning adjacent to Medical City Denton provides a compelling long-term investment profile.”
The transaction adds to Big Sky’s growing portfolio of healthcare properties across the United States and further establishes the firm’s presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Big Sky has now completed five acquisitions totaling more than $100 million in the last 90 days.
