In the Detroit area and across Southeast Michigan, medical office continues to be a strong performer. With healthcare being one of the state’s largest and fastest-growing economic drivers, an aging population and a robust system of public, private and university hospitals across the region, a generally positive growth trend seems unlikely to change anytime soon. Farbman Group’s own portfolio of 4 million square feet is currently more than 95 percent occupied, and quality medical office space remains in high demand. There are, however, some noteworthy developments taking place both inside and outside the healthcare industry that are shaping its future. Medical office real estate trends locally and regionally are beginning to reflect those changes. Consolidation Wave Perhaps the healthcare trend with the most significant potential to alter the medical office and medical real estate marketplace in Southeast Michigan is that of consolidation — healthcare systems coming together via mergers, acquisitions and strategic partnerships. This trend is, in some respects, similar to what has occurred in the banking industry during the last decade. We are likely to see the same kind of phenomenon continue to pick up momentum in healthcare during the next five years or so. There are three primary …

Using the turtle and the hare metaphor, it is appropriate to associate Atlanta’s medical office market with the turtle and the metro area’s general office market with the hare. With a few exceptions, Atlanta’s medical office market has continued a slow and steady expansion during the last 30 years. While the size of the medical office market is substantially smaller than the general office market, it has not experienced the booms and busts that have plagued general office market over the same 30 year period. On-campus and Class A medical office buildings have consistently enjoyed 85 percent or greater occupancy. The primary difference in the stability of the two segments of office space is that the demand for general office is driven by the state of the overall economy, while demand for medical office is driven more by the health and size of the general population. Metro Atlanta’s population has increased by more than 51 percent since 1990. The last few years have seen slower growth in the medical office market primarily due to the unknowns of the Affordable Care Act law (Obama-care). Initially, there was uncertainty over whether the law would pass or not. After the law passed, then …

It was a little less than two decades ago that local business leaders could see what was unfolding in West Michigan. The industrial sector was steadily declining, and companies were either going out of business or moving away. It was evident that something had to be done. That’s when two hometown heroes, Amway founders Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel, proposed their vision to turn Grand Rapids into one of the top medical services cities in the world. Their leadership and philanthropic efforts spurred a series of events, forever changing the landscape, mentality and image of Grand Rapids. One of the city’s first streets, Michigan Street, running parallel to I-196, was the initial site of their vision. In 1996, Jay and Betty Van Andel founded the Van Andel Institute. They broke ground in 1998, and the Van Andel Institute opened its doors in 2000. The institute is now home to scientific research that is focused primarily on cancer and Parkinson’s disease and has received more than $1 billion in research funding. The original development was a $60 million facility. In 2010, the institute opened a second phase with an additional 242,000 square feet at a cost of $175 million. Butterworth …
