of 2015. This is potentially concerning for medical
real estate owners as the trend would impact non-core
markets such as San Antonio most significantly.

A Specialty Focus for A Special Market
Nuances of healthcare real estate differentiate it from

other asset classes and require specialization and a par-
ticular passion and expertise. The physical properties are
unique, different considerations motivate tenants and
drive development projects, and perhaps most impor-
tantly, the medical real estate buyer is a distinct real es-
tate investor seeking a specialty product type.

In the same way a physician narrows the scope of
practice, your healthcare real estate advisor should be
focused on the evolving field of medical real estate. The
real differentiating factor is my data-driven knowledge
of the local market and an understanding of healthcare
real estate dynamics. This allows for the envisioned
lease, acquisition, development or sale to maximize
value for the physician and align with broader business
and personal goals. Whether you own or lease, now is
the time to take action with a specialist in healthcare
real estate.
