The three-building facility is a prominent outpatient medical center in the west metro with services including ambulatory surgery and urgent care.
Davis, the acquiring firm, purchased the property this month from Chicago-based Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, which bought it from Allina back in 2013.
“It’s a big acquisition for our company,” said Mark Davis, the chief executive at Davis, a privately held firm with about 30 employees. He called WestHealth “a trophy property that we have always wanted to acquire.”
Allina Health, one of the largest health systems in the state, said it will continue operating under a long-term lease at WestHealth. The health system occupies about three-quarters of the overall space, which measures 201,000 square feet.
Allina has been part of a recent trend in which hospital and clinic operators are beginning to invest again in construction projects following big disruptions from COVID-19 and financial pressure from rising labor costs.
Allina also owns a building on the WestHealth campus that provides rehabilitation care but was not part of the real estate deal this month.
The InPen app paves the way for the launch of the company’s “Smart MDI” system combining a smart insulin pen that tracks doses and a monitor that makes real-time glucose readings for people who make multiple daily injections.
