Expanding Providers Boost Minneapolis Medical Office Market

by Kristin Harlow September 29, 2022

By Jill Rasmussen, Davis The Minneapolis – St. Paul medical office building (MOB) market remains strong with calculated strategic growth from both hospital systems and independent clinics. The MOB sector has been resilient during the pandemic, economic challenges and local civil unrest. Providers have been focused on expanding into new market areas to locate close to their patient base, providing full-service medical hubs offering outpatient surgery and specialty services to communities while offering lower-cost care away from a hospital campus. The overall market remains very stable with a current vacancy rate of 8.6 percent on-campus and 10.6 percent off-campus. There remains high interest in off-campus locations for most non-acute care for location access and cost savings. Base rents continue to increase both on- and off-campus due to demand and higher new construction pricing. Base rates have reached nearly $22 per rentable square foot (rsf) on average on-campus and $21/rsf for off-campus existing product. New MOB construction rates have increased from $24.50/rsf to $28+/rsf due to interest rate hikes and supply chain/labor issues, but new construction projects continue to move ahead based on provider’s strategic initiatives. Annual base rent increases are trending up due to current inflation levels from a historical …

Healthcare Providers in Retail Settings Is A Win-Win-Win

by Taylor Williams June 4, 2019

With a solid healthcare provider as a tenant, everyone wins: Landlords realize draws in traffic to the property, while providers expand their services and reach more patients and consumers enjoy added convenience and generally lower medical costs. The practice of housing healthcare providers in retail locations has become commonplace across the United States. Changing dynamics in healthcare reform, technological advances, demographic shifts and consumer preferences drove this shift. JLL’s recent research report on retail and the new healthcare consumer provides some interesting insights into this growing trend. Provider, Patient Benefits Retail-based healthcare has emerged as an effective means of delivering quality, convenient treatment to millions of consumers, and is becoming a model for healthcare systems to consider when providing services to new and existing patient populations. For healthcare providers, retail locations offer better proximity to patients’ residences and facilities designed to accommodate a higher volume of patients per day. Providers have learned that a visit to the hospital or a medical office can create stress for patients before they even enter the building, so many retail healthcare facilities are designed with a “customer experience” mindset, improving the patient experience with familiarity and convenience. Healthcare consumers have been clear in conveying …

Milwaukee Health Systems Expand, Focus on Off-Campus Settings

by Kristin Harlow July 26, 2018

Healthcare properties present a tremendous opportunity for real estate developers in the Milwaukee market and the upper Midwest. The national and regional healthcare real estate sectors remain on solid footing, according to the 2018 Healthcare Marketplace Report from Colliers International. The sector remains attractive in terms of both stability and diversification. There will always be a demand for healthcare services as the U.S. population continues to age at an unprecedented rate.

The merger of Aurora Healthcare with Advocate Health Care Network to create a single health system known as Advocate Aurora Health is a recent example. There’s been a significant expansion of and increased focus on the outpatient ambulatory environment. Health systems face significant capital expenditures in order to maintain aging hospitals. Alternative developments such as specialty outpatient facilities and micro hospitals have gained momentum and allow for expansion to remain competitive while efficient. With the emerging trend toward population health management, hospitals and health systems take on the financial risk of providing care for a certain population across a certain geography.

Options Abound as El Paso Healthcare Real Estate Market Expands

by Taylor Williams October 20, 2017

Healthcare facilities have become a mainstream investment asset class for private and institutional investors over the last decade. Healthcare assets with strong credit tenancy and on-campus locations are now fetching record pricing. Pressure from consumers, federal and state legislation and fiscal responsibility are driving changes in the delivery of healthcare services. Significant consolidation is occurring in the form of acquisitions and affiliations. The most visible and tangible change to the consumer has been the proliferation of urgent care facilities. Other drivers of healthcare facility construction include hospital operators pushing for their brands and facilities to be more convenient to the consumer. Increased focus on preventative care and consumers’ desire for quick and convenient access to services near work or home plays a role as well. These trends are relevant and visible in the 2017 El Paso healthcare market. Population Growth Leads Historically, El Paso ranks among the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas, averaging decade-over-decade growth of 21 percent from 1960 to 2010. The MSA, composed of El Paso County and the more recently added Hudspeth County, is projected to hit nearly 883,000 residents by 2019.

Healthcare Hits Speed Bumps in Houston as Demand Remains Strong

by Taylor Williams June 30, 2017

The Houston healthcare sector has gotten off to a slow start in 2017. Financial concerns are impacting several healthcare systems as they adapt to a changing marketplace. Industry challenges such as increasing technology costs, as well as changes in payer mixes and reimbursement rates, have impacted organizations’ operating models as a whole. While the majority of organizations have effectively adjusted or are adapting to the change, companies such as CHI St. Luke’s Health, Adeptus Health Inc. and Foundation Healthcare have not fared as well, resulting in a sluggish start to the year. In late March, CHI St. Luke’s announced another round of layoffs, stating that it would eliminate more than 459 jobs and an additional 161 vacant positions statewide. This is the fourth round of layoffs CHI has announced over the previous two years as the company continues to struggle with lower patient volumes, reduced reimbursement via Medicaid and Medicare, and increased technology-related operating costs. Adeptus Health, a freestanding emergency room operator with more than 29 Houston-area locations, appears to be headed for bankruptcy, having announced in March that it would be hiring a restructuring chief. Adeptus has grown rapidly over the past several years, initially opening facilities that lacked …
