Purchase marks AXSYS Capital’s 7th Acquisition in Missouri; Plans Additional Acquisitions of High-Quality, Well-Located Medical Office Buildings Across the Midwestern States
WENTZVILLE, MO – (January 30, 2024) – AXSYS Capital, an emerging leader in medical property investments, is pleased to announce it has closed on the purchase of 853 Medical Drive, a 15,366-square-foot mixed-use “medtail” office property located in Wentzville, MO for $3,600,000.
The transaction marks AXSYS Capital’s seventh acquisition in Missouri and is the third purchase made by the company’s “AXSYS Capital Fund I, LP.” The company will hold the property for long term cashflow for its investors. AXSYS Capital has approximately $60M of assets under management and is raising approximately $40M to $50M of additional capital that the company plans to invest in similar properties across the Midwestern states over the next 12 to 18 months, including Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin.
“Our goal is to continue to grow our portfolio of high quality, ‘recession-proof’ assets with stable, creditworthy medical and professional services tenants that we can hold long term,” said David Meggs, Co-Founder & CEO of AXSYS Capital. “Wentzville has been the fastest-growing city in Missouri for the past two decades, and continues to see exponential growth and new development, making 853 Medical Drive an ideal acquisition for AXSYS Capital’s hyperfocus on buying investments that should outperform over time.”
AXSYS Capital has identified a niche in high-quality properties, primarily medical, in the $2M to $5M price point, that are off the radar of institutional investors and have above-market returns. To date, AXSYS Capital has successfully executed the development, acquisition, renovation, repositioning and sale of more than 25 transformative commercial and mixed-use properties across the Midwest totaling more than $74M.
Jason Riegelsberger and Luke Grant of Skyline Commercial Real Estate represented the buyer, AXSYS Capital in the transaction; Brian Kelley of Revel Commercial Real Estate represented the seller, Asher CRE, LLC. Tenants at the 100-percent net-leased property include SSM Health, Edward Jones, Beacon Endodontics, Regional Eyecare, Accent Dental and the Missouri Center for Oral Surgery.
Carrollton Bank provided financing for the transaction with a permanent, fixed-rate loan of $1,952,500, representing an LTV ratio of 55 percent.
Built in 2005 and meticulously maintained by the building’s previous owners, 853 Medical Drive features six commercial units averaging approximately 2,561 square feet located along Wentzville Parkway adjacent to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital – Wentzville. The property sits along a dense retail corridor boasting national retailers such as Target, Lowe’s, Walmart, Sam’s Club and Kohl’s. Directly across from the property sits Wentzville Bend, a new 80-acre mixed-use development under construction that will feature a mix of retail, medical and entertainment space anchored by a 158,400-square-foot Menards.
