Where do you see the greatest opportunities in your market or area of expertise as we approach the end of 2026 and look ahead to 2027?

One emerging opportunity in the medical office sector is the rise of concierge medicine. Increasingly, doctors are leaving larger practices to establish independent, relationship-driven models serving smaller patient populations. We’ve seen this trend firsthand in our Beverly portfolio, with several providers at Cummings Center and Dunham Ridge, including two who launched this fall. For these physicians, an established, full-service property manager can simplify opening a practice. Custom medical suites, flexible expansion options, and in-house design, build, and management teams allow physicians to focus on what matters most: patient care.
