Page 2 — Health Care Properties Quarterly — April 2017
CONTENTS Letter from the Editor
T here are lots of questions
and not enough answers sur-
rounding health care today.
However, within these
pages of the latest edition
of Health Care Properties Quar-
terly, a bevy of professionals from
the health care and senior hous-
ing industry have contributed their
thoughts and
expertise on the
industry. And
even a couple of
answers too.
Recent reports
from both Marcus
& Millichap and
Duke Realty give
a glimpse of what
is happening in
today’s health care environment.
Marcus & Millichap explores the
generational differences driving
growth and advancement in today’s
medical office market. The report
noted while the baby boomer gen-
eration has a huge impact on the
current growth of the health care
industry, the millennial genera-
tion, which has surpassed the baby
boomers in size, is driving a major
shift in the care delivery model and
the way they approach, research
and resolve issues.
Duke Realty outlines in a new
white paper six major health care
real estate trends to watch this year
and their impact on patient care.
It’s predictions for the coming year
include more health systems devel-
oping convenient micro hospitals,
providers implementing expansions
versus new builds as part of their
real estate mix and health systems
applying best practices from other
industries to their health care real
estate strategies.
Additional articles look at fac-
tors influencing Colorado health
care real estate, how to advise ten-
ants in a changing market, ways to
develop customer-friendly parking
at health care facilities and how art
in a health care environment can
provide positive distractions.
The special section also includes
the Senior Question of the Quarter,
in which four construction profes-
sionals answer the question, “In
what ways are rising construction
costs impacting the development of
new senior housing and care prop-
erties in Colorado?”
Within the pages of the senior
housing and care section, The
Highland Group shares the latest
construction starts, openings and
sales. Additional articles discuss
the importance of proper budgeting
and analysis in senior living, what
to consider when designing high-
rise senior communities and the
evolving desires and expectations
of today’s seniors.
Overall it’s a fantastic issue that
speaks to the continued change in
the industry and the questions and
answers being asked about today
and tomorrow’s health care market.
