Located half a mile from Mosaic, the University of Maryland Medical System s new $645 million, 259-bed regional hospital and medical center is scheduled to open next month.
Our lifestyles are changing dramatically, and emerging trends in the ways we live, work and shop are making new opportunities in different areas of real estate. CPREIF seeks to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation by purchasing stabilized, well-leased, cash flow-producing properties in markets with favorable growth prospects as well as exposure to different geographic regions and property sectors, said Clarion Partners Managing Director Rick Schaupp. We believe this property in the heart of Prince George s County is emblematic of these societal shifts, given its proximity to a walkable metro station, new hospital and amenity retail.
