What MOB Tenants Are Looking For in the Perfect Space

Bryan McKenney

The medical office market is booming—particularly for landlords with quality spaces that serve tenants’ needs. In most markets, however, there is a dearth of quality buildings, a trend that is putting upward pressure on rents. Smart owners will be able to capture the demand by filling tenant needs.

“Tenants want a building that reflects their image and a space that will create a positive patient experience.  Each submarket is unique as to what that looks like,” Bryan McKenney, director of brokerage services at Cypress West Partners, tells GlobeSt.com. “Overall tenants want: landlords that take a proactive approach to image and maintenance; signage (where possible) and wayfinding; ease of parking (which in Orange County is often free and surface), landlords that commit the necessary tenant improvements and provide functional spaces.”
