Healthcare Real Estate Counsel

Healthcare Real Estate That Supports Scale

We handle real estate across every stage of healthcare platform growth — from site selection and lease negotiation for de novo locations to acquisitions and sale-leasebacks for mature platforms. Our team understands the operational and regulatory requirements of healthcare facilities and negotiates terms that support your business objectives.

Site Selection

De novo programs, market analysis, and zoning and permit coordination

Lease Negotiation

Healthcare-specific lease terms, build-out provisions, and TI packages

Acquisitions

Property purchases, sale-leasebacks, and facility acquisitions

Compliance

Healthcare facility requirements, ADA, and environmental considerations

What We Handle

  • De novo development: Site identification, letter of intent negotiation, lease execution, build-out oversight, and occupancy coordination for new healthcare locations
  • Lease negotiation: Healthcare-specific provisions including use clauses, exclusivity, co-tenancy, assignment rights, renewal options, and tenant improvement allowance negotiation
  • Real estate due diligence: Title, survey, zoning, environmental, and facility compliance review for acquisition transactions
  • Purchase and sale transactions: Fee simple acquisitions, sale-leaseback transactions, and facility dispositions
  • Portfolio management: Lease administration, renewal strategy, sublease and assignment approvals, and landlord dispute resolution

Value to Platforms

  • Faster de novo timelines: Standardized processes and template documents that accelerate lease execution and facility opening
  • Favorable lease economics: Experienced negotiation of TI packages, rent abatements, and renewal terms that improve location economics
  • Acquisition readiness: Clean real estate diligence that identifies issues early and supports transaction timelines
  • Portfolio visibility: Organized lease management and renewal tracking that prevents inadvertent expirations or missed options

Why Real Estate Matters for Healthcare Platforms

Real estate is both a growth driver and a risk factor for healthcare platforms. De novo programs require efficient lease execution to hit opening targets. Acquisitions require thorough diligence to identify assignment restrictions, unfavorable terms, and facility compliance issues. And portfolio-level lease management becomes critical as the location count grows. We bring healthcare-specific real estate expertise to every engagement, ensuring that your real estate strategy supports rather than constrains your growth.
