—Weighing My Need for an Anchor Plan B

Dear Plan B, On the other hand, if the entire center is not doing well, you might want to consider a change of use, in which case having the anchor's lease coming due within the next 18 months will be a major benefit. One option is a medical center that will also include office-related medical uses. With the increase in the number of insured patients through the advent of Obamacare, there will be an increasing demand for a wide range of medical facilities in the 'burbs, closer to the population base. Such facilities not only provide more convenience to the patients, but at far less cost than can be provided by more distant hospital facilities.   Ms. Real Estate Wouldn't it be convenient if someone had clear, intelligent answers to most of your CRE-related questions?
