The reason MPT agreed to let the Orlando Health stand as the “stalking horse bid” is that the parties have until October to settle on a final allocation of hospital assets – meaning that the successful bidder, Steward and MPT must sit down after the Sept. 10 auction to work out the division of the proceeds.
A Birmingham, Alabama-based real estate investment trust that binges on medical sites picked up Hialeah Hospital for $133.7 million.
An affiliate of Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare is the seller of the 378-bed medical facility at 651 East 25th Street in Hialeah, records show.
The purchase completes Medical Properties Trust’s play for a South Florida medical portfolio totaling $900 million. Including Hialeah Hospital, MPT has acquired five hospital properties and medical office buildings previously owned by Tenet.
MPT has a leaseback agreement with Dallas-based Steward Healthcare System involving Hialeah Hospital, Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah, Coral Gables Hospital in Coral Gables, North Shore Medical Center near North Miami, and Florida Medical Center in Lauderdale Lakes. Steward paid Tenet $1.1 billion for the hospitals’ operations and associated physician practices, according to a news release. MPT bought the real estate that will be leased to Steward.
In recent weeks, MPT paid $315 million for Palmetto General, an adjacent garage and physicians’ offices; the North Shore and Coral Gables sites for a combined $276 million; and Florida Medical, along with three office buildings and a medical office mall for $171 million. The sellers of the properties in Lauderdale Lakes are a consortium that included Tenet, Scottsdale, Arizona-based Healthcare Trust of America, and Dallas-based Altera Development Company.
In a statement prior to the transactions, MPT CEO Edward K. Aldag Jr. said the Tenet properties are “essential community hospitals in areas with positive demographic trends at a very attractive yield.”
MPT specializes in hospital and medical office investments, holding $22.3 billion in assets, mostly in the U.S., but also properties in Europe and Australia, according to its website.
Tenet, which is also publicly traded, still owns ambulatory facilities in Miami-Dade and Broward, as well as the 493-bed Delray Medical Center in Delray Beach that underwent a $79.4 million expansion.

Medical Properties Trust just closed on the fourth of the five hospitals it plans to acquire as part of a major expansion into South Florida healthcare totalling roughly $900 million.
The Birmingham, Alabama-based real estate investment trust bought Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah for $315 million from an affiliate of Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare, records show.
Some of the buildings that make up the hospital campus purchase are the Palmetto Medical Plaza at 7100 West 20th Avenue and the garage at 7160 West 20th Avenue as well as next-door physicians’ offices at 2001 West 68th Street and 2001 West 68th Street, records show.
The deal is part of MPT’s agreement with Tenet to buy five South Florida facilities and then lease them to Dallas-based Steward Health Care System, which purchased the hospitals’ operations and associated physician practices from Tenet, according to a news release.
MPT already bought North Shore Medical Center near North Miami and Coral Gables Hospital in the Gables for a combined $276 million. This came on the heels of the group’s purchase of Florida Medical Center, three office buildings and FMC Medical Mall in Lauderdale Lakes for $171 million from a group of sellers that included Tenet.
The medical REIT is also planning to buy Hialeah Hospital, although public records do not yet show the purchase.
MPT, led by Edward K. Aldag Jr., is a hospital and medical office investor with $22.3 billion of assets under management, according to its website. The majority of its portfolio is in the U.S. but it also has properties in the United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland, Germany and elsewhere.
Tenet, which is also publicly traded, is led by executive chair and CEO Ronald Rittenmeyer, according to its website. It runs 60 hospitals and about 460 other healthcare facilities.

An Alabama-based real estate investment trust is gaining a large footprint in Lauderdale Lakes after making one of the largest commercial buys in Broward County this year.
An affiliate tied to Birmingham-based Medical Properties Trust paid $171 million for a 459-bed hospital property, three office buildings and a medical office mall near the Florida Turnpike in Lauderdale Lakes, records show. The sellers are a consortium that includes Scottsdale, Arizona-based Healthcare Trust of America, Dallas, Texas-based Altera Development Company and Tenet Healthcare.
The deal includes the building at 5000 West Oakland Park Boulevard that is home to Florida Medical Center; a trio of three-story office buildings located at 4900 West Oakland Park Boulevard; and the FMC Medical Mall at 4850 West Oakland Park Boulevard, a two-story converted shopping center with 138,103 square feet of medical office space.
In June, Tenet Healthcare sold Florida Medical Center’s operations and four other South Florida hospitals to Dallas, Texas-based Steward Healthcare.
Real estate investors have been bullish on medical office properties in South Florida. ShareMD has been active over the last two years, most recently paying $6.5 million for a Boynton Beach medical office building.
The Lauderdale Lakes hospital and the other properties were built in the 1970s. The consortium’s FMC Land Trust paid a combined $19.5 million for the properties in 1993, records show.
Medical Properties Trust, led by chairman, president and CEO Edward K. Aldag Jr., was established in 2003 and deals exclusively in medical properties and hospital facilities. It also owns assets in the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. The total value of its assets is $22.3 billion, according to a company press release.
In the second quarter, the REIT acquired four Los Angeles hospitals operated by Pipeline Health System for $215 million and closed on the acquisition of a hospital in Stiling, Scotland for 15.6 million pounds, according to its website. Since the first quarter, Medical Properties Trust sold 12.2 million shares, generating net proceeds of between $253 million to $320 million.
