WHERE WE OPERATE

Miami-Dade Medical Office Market

Florida’s most expensive medical office market — and the one where most physicians buy a suite, not a building.

The market

Scale, not scarcity.

Naples is a market defined by what isn’t there. Miami-Dade is defined by how much is — 1,087 medical office buildings across 18.6 million square feet, more than four times Collier County’s entire inventory.

That volume doesn’t make it easier to buy into. Medical office here carries the highest rents and the lowest cap rates in Florida, which is another way of saying buyers accept less yield to own it. The demand underneath isn’t a retirement wave. It’s 2.74 million residents, a median age of 40.7, and four major health systems building out their networks at once.

The two markets CoStar · August 2026

Miami-Dade has two medical office markets.

The market as a whole is nearly full and expensive. What’s actually for sale is a fraction of it — and most of that fraction is suites, not buildings.

The opportunity

How you buy into the most expensive market in Florida.

1

Whole buildings start high.

A sub-5,000 SF building trades around $620/SF. Over 15,000 SF, it’s $335.

2

Suites are the entry point.

32 individual suite sales in the past year against 27 whole buildings. Median ticket: $732,500.

3

Own where you practice.

A suite in the right building is a smaller cheque, a shorter close, and the same address your patients already know.

FAQs

The questions we get most

What is a medical office building worth in Miami-Dade right now?

It depends on whether it's leased or owner-occupied, what the build-out supports, and where in the county it sits. In Miami-Dade, it also depends on whether you own a whole building or a suite. Most medical office here trades as suites. A Broker Opinion of Value is free and confidential, and it's the fastest way to get a real number for your specific property rather than a market average.

I still practice in my building — can I sell without relocating?

Yes. A sale-leaseback lets you sell the building and sign a lease to stay in the space you've built your practice around — you take the equity out without moving. It's a natural fit for owners who want liquidity, not a move.

How do you find buildings that never get listed?

Anyone can see the listings. The off-market positions behind them are what we bring. We work exclusively in medical office and we've built our own tools for sourcing off-market — sellers get a quiet exit, buyers get first look.

Does White Coat Capital cover all of Miami-Dade County?

Yes — from Coral Gables and Kendall through Hialeah, Doral, Aventura, and Homestead.
