Along with property information we have included pictures and an integrated map with a list of medical practices and tenants at each location.

MOB Fayette/Coweta Market Report– 3Q 2009

The Fayette/Coweta County medical office building (MOB) sub market with 880,000 square feet is located along the Hwy 54 and Hwy 34 corridor form Fayetteville to Coweta Counties in South Atlanta. The largest concentration of space is located around Piedmont Fayette Hospital. The anticipation of the new 9 story, 136 bed hospital in Newnan has created a new emerging market along the Hwy 34 corridor, in Coweta County from Peachtree City west to Newnan (and the older Piedmont Newnan Hospital). Due to the economic downturn the new hospital’s 2010-2011 start date is in question, which has also caused many independent medical office developers to put some plans on hold.

MOB Northeast Atlanta Market Report - 3Q 2009

For healthcare providers looking to lease space in medical office buildings (MOB), Northeast Atlanta it is a “buyers” market. Vacancies have remained over 20% for the past two years creating an environment where most landlords are prepared to negotiate great deals. In the mid 2000’s vacancy rates where stable around 11%. During this period, as new medical office buildings were completed, tenants expanding and new practices were opened at a pace that absorbed all the new space. However, in 2007 with the delivery of over 300,000 square feet of new medical office buildings and absorption of only 100,000 square feet, vacancy rates spiked by over 7% points. Negative absorption, (a net loss in total square feet occupied) in 2008 and 2009 has pushed vacancy rates to over 22.5% in 3rd quarter 2009. We anticipate this trend to stabilize in 2010 as favorable lease terms and supporting demographics create greater demand for vacant space.
