As the demand for mental health services increases, nonprofit organizations seek real estate sites that are accessible to those in need. Solender/Hall, a full service real estate brokerage firm specializing in helping nonprofits, represented Dallas Metrocare Services in purchasing 9696 Skillman Street a 63,000-square-foot building located at the merger of Forest and Skillman. The multi-tenant office building is three stories high on almost three acres. The property owner, BBH Capital Investments LLC, was represented by Yasaman Hafezamini of BBH Capital Investments. 

Located on a bus line, this site will provide mental health services, housing and homeless assistance and a pharmacy. The building will also be the location for The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic.

Dr. John W. Burruss, Metrocare CEO, said, “The demand for mental health services has surged, a trend exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the largest behavioral health provider in Dallas County, Metrocare is dedicated to expanding access to quality care. Our recent property acquisition is a testament to this commitment, providing much-needed space to enhance and broaden our services and programs. Last year alone, we served over 51,000 individuals through almost 3,000 daily clinical encounters, delivering quality mental health care regardless of financial means. This expansion is a crucial step in meeting the unprecedented demand for mental health support in our community.”

Eliza Solender, president of Solender/Hall Inc., added, “Metrocare continues to lead Dallas County in providing mental health services, and this location will allow them to expand their services in the northeast portion of Dallas County. In fact, this site is almost adjacent to Metrocare’s very busy Skillman Family Mental Health Clinic at 9708 Skillman.”
