Fogg: From the developers that we have spoken with are actively looking for areas that are underserved and trying to fill those needs. We just entitled a new project earlier this year at 1122 Washington just west of Downtown Los Angeles that is maintaining healthcare in the area. There was another facility that was displaced by a new hotel development, and those doctors will be moving to this site and continuing to provide access to their patients. That area was completely underserved in terms of urgent care facilities. So, developers are looking for opportunities, and when they find one, they are going to do it. The Affordable Care Act, and candidly any insurance program that makes healthcare more accessible to a larger number of people, is going to help spur that kind of development.

GlobeSt.com: Is there any fear from landlords or developers that if the ACA is repealed, the demand will subside as a result? Have any of your clients been hesitant to sign urgent care tenants for that reason?

Fogg: I haven't heard that concern on any of the deals that I have worked on. I think the people developing these sites are looking to see if there is demand and are there patients that will come. I think most people believe that the healthcare system is not going to change radically, particularly in California, but it is an open question. If things were to move along more seriously and there was a consensus to roll back the expansions that have occurred, I think those questions would start to be asked. The question that everyone does seem to ask theoretically at conferences and so on, but I have not seen a landlord have a lot of apprehension about signing a lease today because the ACA might go away.
