Metro Atlanta - The Decatur medical office building (MOB) is a mature submarket located around the Dekalb Medical North Decatur Campus and Decatur Hospital in downtown Decatur. There is approximately 926,836 square feet in 24 buildings—the most recent delivered in 1995. Four of the MOBs are on campus of the two hospitals with the remaining within walking distance. Decatur is a unique pedestrian friendly market that experienced occupancy rates over 90% for the past four years. One interesting note, not unique to this submarket, is the marketing of nontraditional medical buildings to health care providers who do not require the inherent referral basis of a typical MOB.
