REIT’s on the Sidelines
The unexpected conundrum that publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) face will stymie the Medical Office Building (MOB) acquisition market for the next 18-24 months. The sudden drop in valuation that most of traded REIT's have experienced since January 2018 is at question. This valuation slip, coupled with required dividends and the aggressive capitalization (CAP) rates that were utilized to acquire existing MOB product during the past 2 years, have left the public REITs upside down on their net asset value (NAV). As a result, most REIT's are left on the sideline with very limited available capital to implement additional MOB acquisitions. Alternative capital resources now have an opportunity to find their way to align with MOB developers and private fund managers to propose as acquisition sources for hospital systems. Sellers of medical real estate, especially health systems, should be wary of capacity, management qualifications, and the long-term positions of these buyers. Most [...]

New firm brings Bremner name back to HRE sector
Jim Bremner joins two other former Duke Realty executives launch new HRE development firm One of the most familiar names in healthcare real estate (HRE) is back in the game. Jim Bremner has reunited with two former Duke Realty (NYSE; DRE) colleagues, Bill Mooney and Ron Penix, to form Bremner Real Estate. The new Indianapolis based HRE development firm opened for business in early July. In an exclusive interview with HREI in mid-August, Mr. Bremner told us, “I felt the space needs more boutique-like and flexible people like ourselves.” "We want to have a small company that will provide an exceptional level of service in delivering developments,” Mr. Mooney added.
