Healthcare Construction Thriving in Northeast

June 11, 2014 by Jim Leavy Topics: Revista News

In inaugural market report, real estate data firm Revista says 66 healthcare construction projects totaling $7.9 billion and 8.9 million square feet are under way or in late planning in the region; other regional and national reports soon to come. Revista also announces the opening of registration for its first national event, scheduled for Nov. 19-20 in Chicago.

Healthcare real estate (HRE) construction is booming in the Northeastern United States, according to healthcare real estate data service Revista.

In its inaugural regional market report, the HRE data firm said 66 healthcare construction projects totaling $7.9 billion and 8.9 million square feet were under way or in late planning in New York, Connecticut and New England. The Northeast market report was unveiled May 20 at an invitation-only launch event at the offices of law firm Foley & Lardner LLP in Boston. HRE data for other regions and the United States as a whole will be released later this spring.

“The level of healthcare real estate construction activity seen in the Northeast bodes well for the rest of the country,” Mike Hargrave, one of Revista’s founding principals, said at the Boston event. “Although we don’t have national data yet, we would not be surprised to see similar levels of activity in other parts of the nation.”

The Northeast launch event was attended by just over 40 hospital, health system and physician practice group executives and HRE professionals. The event, sponsored by Foley & Lardner, included presentations by two of Revista’s Principals, Hilda Flower Martin and Mr. Hargrave. It also included a series of lively panel discussions featuring Revista’s founding advisory board members, as well as other industry experts including Christopher J. Donovan, Attorney, Foley & Lardner; Robert Milligan, Senior Vice President – Corporate Finance, Healthcare Trust of America Inc. (HTA); and Frank Nelson, Executive Director – Capital Markets, Cushman & Wakefield.

Revista’s founding partners are HTA, Health Care REIT Inc., HealthTrust LLC, Raymond James and Surface Logic. Its advisory board members are Andy Baxter, CEO, Surface Logic; Sam Chandan, President & Chief Economist, Chandan Economics; John Duggan, Vice President of Real Estate Operations, Reliant Medical Group; Daniel M. Klein, Senior Vice President, Medical Facilities Group, Health Care REIT; Scott D. Peters, Chairman, President and CEO, HTA; Alan C. Plush, MAI, Senior Partner, HealthTrust LLC; Bob Reilly, Chief Financial Officer, Anne Arundel Health System; Joshua A. Teague, Director, Real Estate, BJC Healthcare; Murray W. Wolf, Publisher and Founding Editor, Healthcare Real Estate Insights™ and Managing Principal, Wolf Marketing & Media LLC; and Laca Wong-Hammond, Head of Healthcare Real Estate, Raymond James.
