Senior Vice President Daniel Solomon of Kidder Mathews has successfully brokered the sale of VCA Orange Animal Hospital, a 6,156-square-foot, full-service veterinary hospital located at 1100 W. Chapman Avenue in Orange, California. The property sold for $3,165,000, with Solomon exclusively representing both the buyer and seller.
The transaction reflects continued investor demand for veterinary real estate, one of the strongest-performing segments within the net-lease healthcare market. The buyer acquired the property as a long-term investment, while the seller was a veterinarian client who selected Solomon due to his specialization in veterinary real estate and track record of achieving premium pricing for animal hospital owners.
“This is a premier veterinary investment in one of Southern California’s most competitive markets,” said Solomon. “You have a top-performing hospital, a corporate guarantee from the most dominant operator in the industry, and a long-term lease structure that delivers passive income. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare in Orange County.”
The property is leased to VCA (Veterinary Centers of America), the largest veterinary hospital operator in the United States and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated, one of the largest privately held companies in the world with more than $55 billion in annual revenue. VCA recently exercised a renewal option, reaffirming its long-term commitment to the site, with two additional five-year options remaining.
The AAHA-accredited hospital operates seven days a week and is recognized as one of the top-performing VCA locations in the region, supported by strong revenue and consistent patient demand. The facility offers comprehensive diagnostic, surgical, and wellness services, with five exam rooms (with a planned sixth room), and 23 on-site parking spaces. The site also benefits from VCA’s strategic consolidation of a nearby facility, which redirected additional client volume to the Orange location.
Situated in the heart of Orange County, the property is surrounded by affluent demographics, a diverse and resilient economy, and sustained demand for high-quality healthcare services. Limited comparable assets and multiple competitive offers further underscored the property’s appeal and the strength of the veterinary real estate sector.
