Before you compare numbers: three things to know
This is per month, not per year
Every figure below is dollars per square foot, per month. $3.00/SF/month works out to $36.00/SF/year. Some listings elsewhere quote annually, so always confirm before comparing two numbers side by side.
Compare lease structures, not just rates
Full Service rent includes operating costs and utilities; NNN adds property tax, insurance and common-area costs on top; Modified Gross splits them. The tables break each trade area out by lease structure so you compare like with like. We confirm the real structure before you tour anything.
Asking rents assume a standard suite
Asking rents assume a standard suite and the landlord’s TI allowance. Imaging, surgery and other specialized builds can cost far more than an allowance covers, so price the scope before ranging a deal.

Common questions
Reading this data
Is asking rent quoted per month or per year?
Every figure here is dollars per square foot, per month. To estimate annual cost, multiply by 12; $3.00/SF/month works out to $36.00/SF/year. Some listings elsewhere quote annually, so confirm the convention before comparing two quotes.
What's included in the rent? Is it gross or NNN?
It depends on the building. Full Service rent includes operating costs and utilities; NNN (triple net) adds property tax, insurance and common-area costs on top of base rent; Modified Gross splits them. That is why the tables break asking rents out by lease structure: two buildings quoting the same number can cost very different amounts.
Why does rent vary so much between trade areas in the same county?
Proximity to hospital systems and referral bases, building class and age, parking and plain supply and demand all drive the spread. Coastal and Westside trade areas consistently ask more.
How current is this data?
Each market is refreshed from a monthly survey of buildings with medical office space available. The date at the top of the page is the latest pull. Asking rents change as space leases, so we confirm current terms before any tour.
How are these figures calculated?
Each building publishes one asking range. We take the middle of that range and report the median across buildings in a trade area or market. Buildings that withhold pricing, list only sublease space, or publish an implausible figure are left out, and a trade area needs at least three priced buildings to appear.
