INDIANAPOLIS—Healthcare real estate seems to be continuing its run as one of the industry’s strongest sectors. Duke Realty, an Indianapolis-based nationwide commercial real estate company, just reported that on June 30 its healthcare portfolio hit a record occupancy of 95.8%. It was the highest rate for Duke since it entered the healthcare sector in 2007. In addition, by mid-year Duke had completed three more major medical facilities. And this robust level of demand is not confined to certain regions.

“We are seeing solid demand across the country so no one particular area is outperforming,” Keith Konkoli, Duke’s executive vice president of healthcare, told GlobeSt.com.
