Duke To Acquire Healthcare Development Firm

INDIANAPOLIS-Officials from Duke and soon-to-be acquired Bremner Healthcare expect the move will help accelerate growth in healthcare projects across the US.

By Danielle Anderson | Updated on December 07, 2006

INDIANAPOLIS-After nearly two years of partnering with Bremner Healthcare Real Estate on healthcare projects across the nation, Duke Realty Corp. says it plans to acquire the locally based national healthcare development and management firm in a transaction slated to close in January 2007.

Under the terms of the agreement, the company will operate as a separate division of Duke and will be known as Bremner-Duke Healthcare Real Estate. Jim Bremner, Bremner Healthcare president and CEO, will join Bremner-Duke along with the company’s associates. Bremner Healthcare’s existing management structure will remain intact. The company currently manages more than 3.5 million sf of healthcare facilities and has developed approximately $1 billion in medical office buildings, outpatient surgery centers, oncology centers, orthopedic centers, wellness facilities and specialty care hospitals.

In conjunction with its acquisition of Bremner Healthcare, Duke is acquiring Bremner’s remaining 50% interest in the healthcare properties currently owned by a joint venture formed by Duke and Bremner Healthcare in 2004. These properties consist of 784,000 sf in nine projects. The acquisition does not require shareholder approval, according to Duke.
