Coming to a Consensus About Healthcare Deals

SCOTTSDALE, AZ—Social and cultural shifts are making big impacts on the way healthcare facilities are built, managed and used. So said panelists at the recent GlobeSt. Healthcare conference here in Scottsdale, AZ. A rise in med-tail services, and the robust growth of life sciences have provided new avenues for CRE executives to invest and build medical properties and panelists said that business discipline has never been as important as it is today.

When Angie Weber, first vice president at CBRE, asked Ross Caulum, regional real estate director at Trinity Health, about what are some of the ways that owners, brokers and developers can do to make their life easier at Trinity Health, he simply said to “have patience,” noting that it takes a while to make a decision, then joked about rethinking that decision once everyone comes to a consensus.
