GlobeSt.com: What developments stand out as ones that are pushing the envelope with cutting-edge features or the latest tech, etc.?
Pollock: Healthcare systems want to be near where their patients live or work and in dense urban markets, which can require creativity. Meridian recently completed an office of statewide health planning and development-3 outpatient clinic in Oakland, CA on a major retail corridor, located between a Blue Bottle Coffee and a Firestone auto care shop. The site is also surrounded by new multifamily developments in the area and other major retailers. The scarcity of available land and buildings required us to develop a 12,750-square-foot clinic on an assemblage of parcels that was only 18,000 square feet. Further, the layout of the property required a podium design with the on-grade parking under the building, which was made to look like a retail storefront to help activate the street for pedestrians.
