HFF Lures Appel from Marcus & Millichap For Medical Office Practice

PHILADELPHIA, PA–Holliday Fenoglio Fowler says Ben Appel has joined the firm as a director in its Philadelphia office, focusing on medical office capital markets and investment sales transactions throughout the United States. Appel will be a member of HFF’s medical office building group within its national healthcare practice, with an emphasis on the Philadelphia MSA and the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

“Ben’s background and relationships in the medical office space will bring tremendous value to HFF’s healthcare clients as we continue to build out this platform and more specifically the medical office building group at HFF,” says John Pelusi, executive managing director and head of HFF’s national healthcare practice.  “Ben will be working alongside our team leaders, Michael Bennett, Phil Mahler, and Evan Kovac, to continue building our national practice group, as there is exceptional demand for medical office buildings due to the aging baby boomer generation and the stability of this asset class.  HFF is equipped to handle a variety of client needs in this arena, including seniors housing and life sciences.”
