Best New Medical Office Buildings and Other Outpatient Facilities (25,000 to 49,999 square feet): Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo, El Centro, Calif. Developer: PMB Clinicas is located in an underserved, low-income county that ranks 57th out of 57 California counties for health factors, with a severe shortage of healthcare providers. PMB determined that Clinicas had limited access to conventional funding sources because of its Federally Qualified Health Center structure. PMB received a Qualified Equity Investment allocation through the Federal New Markets Tax Credit program, and Clinicas used 100 percent of this to fund fixtures, furniture and equipment in the new facility. The clinic has enabled Clinicas to offer new healthcare services and increase patient capacity by 85 percent.

Best New Medical Office Buildings and Other Outpatient Facilities (100,000 square feet or more): 1100 Van Ness, San Francisco Developer: PMB Sutter Health officials determined they needed to reconfigure their entire San Francisco patient delivery footprint to meet the demands of the changing healthcare industry and comply with California seismic building codes. Sutter Health developed a master plan that included a new hospital and MOB. When PMB was selected to develop the new MOB, the design was substantially complete. However, PMB was still able to save $2 million and cut two months from the construction schedule. The new master plan and MOB are allowing Sutter and other tenants in the facility to consolidate multiple services and offices and increase efficiency.

Post-Acute & Senior Living Facilities Best New Ground-Up Development: Heartis Village Brookfield, Brookfield, Wis. Developer: Caddis Brookfield city officials were wary of the Heartis project because the public opposed multi-family housing and didn't understand the difference between multi-family and senior housing. Caddis met with city staff to educate them on how senior living differs from multi-family; demonstrated a need for more senior living options in the community; and explained how senior living improves residents' quality of life. Despite the city telling Caddis that the project would be an uphill battle, it passed the approval process with full city support and no public opposition. The city requires residential developers to dedicate a portion of their land for a public park but exempts senior housing. So even though Caddis wasn't required to do so, it donated a 2.9-acre parcel of land from the original site to the city to create a new public park.

Lifetime Achievement Award: David R. Emery, Healthcare Realty Trust David R. Emery led the team that founded Healthcare Realty Trust, the first real estate investment trust specializing in medical office buildings. Founded in 1992, the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in May 1993 in an initial public offering with 21 properties. Over the next 25-plus years, Mr. Emery guided the company's growth, and it now boasts 282 employees and 200 properties valued at $5.7 billion. After graduating from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor's Degree in business administration, Mr. Emery spent the next 50 years with a professional focus on real estate. His first job was with the Nashville firm R.A. McDowell, buying and selling land along the interstate highway system. His first development project was a high-rise apartment building and he then went on to develop other properties, including office buildings and the 27-story Nashville City Center office tower. In the early 1970s, he worked with architect Robert Anderson to design two modern homes, one of which was featured in Southern Living magazine. Personal construction projects included everything from the renovation of a 1942 International-style duplex to the design and construction of a French manor home and a new-made-old, Federal-style house, which was featured in Southern Accents, with architect Ken Tate. Mr. Emery retired as CEO of Healthcare Realty Trust in 2016 and continued to serve as the company's Chairman until taking a medical leave. Colleagues from all phases of his career described him as a generous and kind mentor, a tenacious and determined leader, and a loyal friend. Mr. Emery passed away Sept. 30, but he leaves a legacy of leading and building a company with a well-regarded medical real estate portfolio that is affiliated with market-leading healthcare systems across the country.
