Investment property sales have been historically limited in Lincoln due to a high amount of local ownership and owners focusing on long-term investment strategies rather than thinking about a hold period.  However, in 2011, the Lincoln market experienced an increase in out-of-state private investment with several significant office sales occurring that reached more than $16 million in transaction volume. A significant sale for the city was the Federal Trust Building, a 12-story downtown office building that sold for $5.775 million or $92 per square-foot. Lincoln’s largest transaction was the sale of the three former TierOne Bank buildings and a 265-stall parking garage to Woodbury Strategic Partners at a price of $9.3 million. Both properties were bought by out-of-state investors with the intent of long-term ownership. Lincoln’s stable economy and the construction boom from university and government-driven projects has provided added incentive for investors to consider our tertiary market. 

NAI FMA Realty works with institutions, private investors, entrepreneurs and lenders seeking to maximize their real estate position and portfolio strategy on properties ranging from portfolios of owned real estate, to single-tenant net leases, multi-family properties, and corporate headquarters. If you are considering investing in the Lincoln market, contact our investment brokers to gain a thorough understanding of your investment critera and assist you in the planning and due diligence of a transaction.

The Physician Network was established in 1994 to strategically support the Catholic Health Initiatives hospitals in Nebraska, including Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center and Nebraska Heart Hospital in Lincoln; Saint Francis Medical Center in Grand Island; Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney; and St. Mary’s Community Hospital in Nebraska City.

The new office in the Assurity Center will be ready for occupancy in February 2012.  

Assurity began construction on the $53 million project in September 2009 and employees were able to move in early December 2011.  “We’re thrilled to have The Physician Network as a tenant in the Assurity Center,” said Bill Schmeeckle, Assurity’s vice president, chief investment officer.  “They are a high quality organization and a perfect fit for the Assurity Center profile.”
