The GBMC joint venture ownership structure enabled New England Baptist and Shields to construct the building to fulfill their vision of creating a musculoskeletal and imaging center in a community setting, with flexibility to sell the building in the future. The facility was built just three years ago, opening in 2013 and is 100% leased. It is a musculoskeletal outpatient center, with a focus on sports medicine and orthopedic surgery, offering outpatient surgical, pain management, rehabilitative services, and advanced imaging.

“The sale of 40 Allied Dr. permits the investors to maximize their investment while continuing to provide exceptional health care in a low cost setting with the nationally recognized New England Baptist, its physicians and Shields MRI,” said Tom Shields Jr., president and CEO of Shields Health Care Group.

Shields and New England Baptist, on behalf of the GBMC, worked with the real estate brokerage firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank to market the building and secure a buyer.
