SCOTTSDALE, AZ—For Jon Boyajian, a principal at Echo Real Estate Capital, the biggest change in the healthcare real estate space has been the influx of investors, brokers and capital providers getting into the healthcare space. At the GlobeSt. Healthcare Real Estate conference opening session, he said that the trend began before Covid, but has since accelerated.
"And the trend is here to stay," he said, because of the resiliency of medical office.
But as interest intensifies, some investors are miscalculating what is a quality product—and they are being helped along this path by owners who are marketing questionable properties. Namely, some office properties with a medical office tenant are rebranding to generate investor interest. In some cases, properties with as little as 25% medical office are being marketed as healthcare. "All you need is one medical office tenant, and it is trying to be pitched as a medical office deal," Boyajian told GlobeSt.com in an earlier discussion. "It may have insurance offices, marketing firms, accountants and a smattering of other office uses, but if you have one healthcare tenant, it is being billed as a value-add medical office deal."
