January 20, 2021

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 20, 2021JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $17.15 million sale of 4th & Lewis, a 22,461-square-foot, four-story medical office building in San Diego, California.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Coast Income Properties. A publicly traded, healthcare real estate investment trust purchased the asset. This is the second JLL-led, medical office building sale from Coast Income Properties to the REIT in the past two weeks.

4th & Lewis is in the heart of the affluent Hillcrest submarket of San Diego at 330 Lewis Street and includes an 89-stall subterranean parking garage. The medical office building benefits from its strategic location bordering the campus of the 482-bed Scripps Mercy Hospital and a few blocks from the 390-bed UCSD Medical Center, both in the process of extensive multibillion-dollar redevelopments. Additionally, the asset is proximate to SR-163 providing regional connectivity to the 8, 5, 805 and 15 Freeways.

Since completion in 1993, 4th & Lewis has been fully leased to Regents University of California – San Diego Health on an absolute triple net lease.  

Representing the seller was JLL’s Healthcare Capital Markets Team led by Managing Directors Evan Kovac and Andrew Milne and Vice President Trent Jemmett as well as JLL’s San Diego Healthcare Team led by Paul Braun and Kelly Moriarty.

“4th & Lewis generated tremendous interest from a variety of investors, ranging from public REITs, family offices and institutional core funds,” said Kovac. “In addition to the blue-chip healthcare tenant, the location of the property is ‘main on main’ in the densest, infill area of San Diego from a medical office perspective.”
