Golik, who has the title of senior vice president with KDC, tells GlobeSt.com that the local company is looking at possible deals in Texas, California, Colorado and North Carolina. He's also overseeing pre-leasing of a 200,000-square-foot project on Walnut Hill Lane in Dallas. Construction will begin on the un-named project when at least 50% of the building is filled.

Golik says KDC is looking at all geographic areas for its product. "We plan a strong focus on traditional medical office buildings, hopefully with outpatient services," he says. He notes that with the financing environment, the smaller deals will likely be considered more than the mega-medical plazas. "We're not going to necessarily do a 5,000-square-foot building, though," he adds.

Golik's more than a decade of experience in dealing with medical real estates includes stints at The Currus Group and Archon Group, a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs. He says KDC had approached him, and he liked the opportunities the new job provided.

"This is absolutely nothing about the Cirrus Group," he notes. "It's a fantastic place, and I learned some great things there." The position with KDC will allow him to develop a new platform and put his own unique mark on it. "Medical is kind of a niche business, there's a lot of issues surrounding the product type requiring skills sets like working with hospitals and physicians," Golik comments.
