IRVINE, CA—Despite the move toward the community and away from hospital-based healthcare, assets that are close to hospital campuses still matter considerably for health systems, NAI Capital‘s SVP and director of healthcare services Sonya Dopp-Grech tells GlobeSt.com. As we recently reported, Dopp-Grech represented CRC Real Estate Corp., an affiliate of CHOC Children’s, in the purchase of the Centrum North Building at 1120 W. La Veta Ave. in Orange, CA for $43.4 million or approximately $245 per square foot. We spoke exclusively with Dopp-Grech about on- or near-campus healthcare properties and how they are being viewed and managed by health systems.
