FCPT Acquires Springfield Clinic Property for $3.5 Million
Four Corners Property Trust expands beyond restaurants into medical real estate with a $3.5M net-lease acquisition in central Illinois.
Four Corners Property Trust (NYSE: FCPT), a Mill Valley, California-based real estate investment trust historically focused on net-leased restaurant and retail properties, has announced the acquisition of a Springfield Clinic location for $3.5 million.

Springfield Clinic, the tenant at the center of the transaction, is a physician-led medical organization operating in central Illinois with a network of more than 650 physicians and advanced practitioners. That scale suggests a financially stable tenant — a key consideration in net-lease investing, where the creditworthiness and operational durability of the occupant directly drives property value and income reliability.
