Virtus Real Estate Capital (Virtus) today announced the acquisition of a 114,413-square-foot property at 2051 S. Greenhouse Road in West Houston. The new ownership plans to reposition the asset as a medical office building, which will be leased and managed by Transwestern.
Houston – Transwestern Investment Group (TIG®) and its partner Virtus Real Estate Capital (Virtus) today announced the acquisition of a 114,413-square-foot property at 2051 S. Greenhouse Road in West Houston. The new ownership plans to reposition the asset as a medical office building, which will be leased and managed by Transwestern.
“This asset is ideally suited for medical use and will be best-in-class due to its efficient layout, abundance of natural light, high parking ratio, and proximity to the west campuses of Houston Methodist Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital, as well as Memorial Hermann West,” said Blake Williams, Managing Director at TIG. “We are excited to provide the advantages of a modern, LEED-certified medical office building to the rapidly growing West Houston and Katy markets.”
The three-story building is being reintroduced to the market as Greenhouse Medical Plaza. To facilitate advanced medical practices, planned capital improvements include the development of a surgical center and a covered carport drop-off for patients, as well as equipping the property with redundant power.
“This acquisition epitomizes our investment strategy of finding high-quality, value-add opportunities within medical office,” said Virtus Chief Investment Officer Robert Schweizer. “The building’s features and location are ideal for medical tenants, and, once stabilized, this asset will be a top-tier, institutional quality medical office building. We’re thrilled to be working with Transwestern given their depth of knowledge and relationships in the Houston healthcare market.”
With proximity to both Houston Methodist and Texas Children’s hospitals, 2051 S. Greenhouse Road is positioned to accommodate expected demand for outpatient services. With steady population growth in West Houston, hospitals are expanding in anticipation of greater healthcare demand. Houston Methodist’s recent completion of a 100-bed patient tower is a strong indicator of future growth.
Transwestern’s Executive Vice President Justin Brasell and Senior Leasing Associate Christian Connell are providing leasing services. The property management team will be led by Transwestern’s General Manager Cindy Niles and Senior Vice President John Wheeler.
TIG and Virtus acquired the asset from The D’Agostino Cos. TIG was represented by Brasell, while JLL’s Kevin McConn, Rudy Hubbard, and Rick Goings represented the seller. Virtus was represented by Jackson Walker L.L.P. as its outside counsel.
