The year's not over yet, but the sale of a portfolio of buildings owned by principals and physicians at Fort Myers-based 21st Century Oncology ranks among the top medical office deals nationwide in 2015.

Tampa-based Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT bought 17 buildings containing 208,640 square feet in its $117 million deal, which ranks as the 10th-largest medical-related acquisition this year, according to National Real Estate Investor.

Among the properties in the April transaction was 21st Century's three-story corporate headquarters at 2270 Colonial Blvd. All told, Carter Validus bought company-leased space in five states. Five other Florida properties also were part of the sale.
