Two suites in one building, medical and plain office, 30% apart on rent
Small two story building in a suburban node. Suite 104 is a 2,100 sf pediatric practice at $34/sf. Suite 206 is a 2,000 sf insurance agency at $26/sf. Same building, same age, same parking lot.
I've been circling this listing for six weeks and I keep telling myself I need one more data point before I do anything, which is my whole problem generally. What I don't understand is whether that $8/sf gap is a medical premium I can count on, or whether the pediatric suite is just an older lease signed at a different time and the two will converge at renewal. If it's a real premium, the whole building is worth more if I convert the office suites to medical over time. If it isn't, I'm paying for a story.
Whole building is 9,400 sf, asking $2.35M, in place NOI around $158k.
