A venture of Hallandale Beach, Fla.-based TopMed Realty bought the 233,588 -square-foot office building at 4901 Searle Parkway. The building, which is almost fully leased to NorthShore University HealthSystem on a long-term deal, was purchased from a venture of Skokie-based American Landmark Properties

The sale comes a month after American Landmark sold the life sciences lab portion (8025 and 8045 Lamon Ave.), the majority of the leased 22.6-acre ISTP campus to Chicago-based investor Singerman Real Estate. The portfolio is comprised of a mix of highly technical wet lab and GMP space and is home to established global life sciences brands as well as prestigious university affiliated venture backed startups.

These recent sales highlight property types for which real estate investors have clamored during the COVID-19 pandemic: high-quality life sciences research buildings and office buildings with big, single tenants with good credit and long-term leases. The former has benefited from a rush of venture capital pouring into biotech and pharmaceutical research throughout the public health crisis, while the latter has drawn buyers looking for safe places to invest amid economic uncertainty.

Collaboration is particularly important for healthcare, where at the end of the day, collaboration is not only helping to improve how patients experience and receive care, but also changing their outcomes. By bringing expertise and perspectives together across the different areas that make up healthcare, partnerships between key players such as drug companies, patient advocacy groups, hospitals, and insurance companies are helping solve healthcare’s biggest challenges. At the earliest point in healthcare, collaboration is the driving force behind novel platforms that require unique discovery and development strategies that go beyond traditional

approaches.

Developing new drugs and treatments isn’t easy, and it can’t be done alone. The meaning and value of collaboration varies across stakeholders, but perspectives are all anchored in the shared vision of accelerating the development and delivery of innovative treatments to give patients access as soon as possible.
