"Marcus & Millichap said that despite the recent turmoil, rental growth in US medical office buildings has maintained an upward trajectory over the past four quarters and now averages $25.22/square foot of space. Average capitalisation rates (income as a percentage of initial investment) for medical office properties in the US in the 12 months to end June were 7-8%, according to Marcus & Millichap, which is 630 basis points above 10-year US Treasuries.
