Matthews™ Healthcare Division is pleased to offer the opportunity to acquire a 11,200 square foot single-tenant outpatient medical property leased to Lehigh Valley Physician Group. The lease is backed by a full corporate guarantee from Lehigh Valley Health Network, Inc., a premier health system with over 125 years of operating history. On August 1st, 2024, Lehigh Valley Health Network completed its merger with Jefferson Health, forming a major regional academic health system serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey, creating a system with 32 hospitals, over 700 care sites, and approximately 62,000 employees. Lehigh Valley Health Network now operates as part of the larger Jefferson Health system, whose credit ratings are “A” from S&P Global.
The property is occupied under an absolute net lease that provides for 2.5% annual rental escalators. Under the lease terms, the tenant is responsible for paying all operating costs directly, including taxes, utilities, and insurance. While the landlord may fund certain capital expenditures, the tenant is required to reimburse these costs via amortized “Capital Replacement Payments” as additional rent for the duration of the term. The facility serves as an outpatient facility offering counseling services and home health.
The property is situated on a 3.51-acre site at 502 S 2nd Street, Saint Clair, PA 17970. It is located just outside the larger Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton MSA, which encompasses a population of 886,000 people, with roughly 20% of the population being aged 65 years or older.
