Doheny Eye Institute Sells Medical Office Building
March 2017
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (March 3, 2017) – Doheny Eye Institute, one of the world’s leading, nonprofit visionresearch organizations, announces the sale of its medical office building at 1450 San Pablo Street in Los Angeles to the University of Southern California. The property is encircled by USC’s health sciences campus.
The building was marketed by Charles Dunn and Kennedy Wilson. Bidder interest in the property was strong.
In 2012, the 40-year affiliation between Doheny and USC ended. The following year, Doheny signed a historic 99-year affiliation agreement with UCLA Stein Eye Institute.
Executive Director, Marissa Goldberg, said that the new affiliation was part of the institute’s motivation to sell. “Since our academic affiliation now is with UCLA Stein Eye Institute, it makes sense to divest ourselves of this property as part of our larger strategic realignment with our affiliation partner, which will likely involve new Doheny headquarters” she added.
Christopher Clinton Conway, Chief of Development and Public Affairs, noted that Doheny was very pleased with the terms of the sale.
The institute has consolidated its administrative and research operations to its headquarters at 1355 San Pablo Street in Los Angeles. Doheny Eye Center UCLA clinics, serve patients throughout Southern California, in Pasadena, Arcadia and Orange County.
