Healthcare Real Estate

Real Estate for Healthcare

Our Healthcare Real Estate Advisors focus solely on representing physicians, hospitals, and other medical professionals with their commercial real estate needs: from advisory to short and long-term planning, to construction and renovation project management and lease administration.

We’re known for going way, way above and beyond with personal attention for both the details and the big picture.
We often work with organizations to evaluate their current space and plan for the future, serving as the real estate department for our clients. With experience in all types of healthcare real estate – from office flex and retail space to Class A office buildings – the Forte team understands the importance of patient access, adjacency of services, and client confidentiality.

Unlike our competitors, getting to a transaction isn’t necessary or preferred — none of what we do is dependent upon signing a lease or buying a building.

Unbiased Counsel

Unique Healthcare Knowledge Plus Real Estate Expertise

Cross-Functional Team From Start to Finish

Healthcare Real Estate Expertise

Because of our in-depth experience, the Forte team can advise clients on any type of property or project. Whether that means development, redevelopment, or restructuring, we advise our clients how to align real estate with staff, organizational, and patient needs.

Ambulatory Surgery Centers

We’ve worked on site selection for more than 15 Ambulatory Surgery Centers across the Twin Cities. As one of the few real estate firms to understand the financial and operational implications of ASCs, we’re able to evaluate multiple locations to find the best fit for each healthcare organization.

Back-Office/Administrative

More than 10 years ago, we helped the first healthcare clinic move its administrative functions into the clinic’s space. Now as more of those functions are becoming virtual or hybrid, we are helping organizations reevaluate collaboration and innovative space to fuel growth.

Off-Campus Primary and Sub-Specialty Care Clinics

When the 2010 Affordable Healthcare bill passed, many clinics reviewed their locations and began moving away from the hospital setting, clustering clinical services and treatments closer to patients.

On-Campus Strategy

We help hospital systems evaluate how to best use their existing footprint and reimagine how the adjacent space can elevate the hospital’s patient experience. In some cases, clinics may consider moving off-campus, which would free up more space for the hospital’s operations.

Strategic Land Assemblage

As healthcare organizations grow, they often want to consolidate locations into one newly designed space. Since many cities have limited space for new development, we’re able to use in-depth CRE market knowledge and strong negotiating skills to secure off-market buildings and land to create buildable sites.

Ambulatory Surgery Centers

We’ve developed or worked on site selection for more than 15 ambulatory Surgery Centers across the Twin Cities. As one of the few real estate firms to understand the financial and operational implications of ASCs, we’re known for our ability to evaluate multiple locations in different municipalities and find the best fit for each healthcare organization.

Back-office/Administrative

More than 10 years ago, we helped the first healthcare clinical location move its back-office/administrative functions into the clinic’s physical space. And now, as more office and administrative functions are becoming virtual or hybrid, we are helping organizations reevaluate the need for collaboration and innovative space to fuel their growth.

Strategic land assemblage

As healthcare organizations evaluate their strategic plan, they often consolidate locations into one new space specifically designed for the new clinical uses. However, within the Twin Cities, many cities have limited space for new development. The ability to secure outdated buildings and vacant land requires in-depth CRE market knowledge and strong negotiating skills.

Partnering with Katie Trevena and the Forte team has been an invaluable asset to our healthcare organization. Katie's deep knowledge of the commercial real estate market, particularly in the healthcare sector, has been invaluable in helping us navigate the complexities of finding and securing the perfect space for our needs.

From the very beginning, Katie takes the time to understand our unique requirements, including patient accessibility, regulatory considerations, and the specific layout requirements of our practice and operations. Her commitment and advocacy to help us find a space, along with partnering effectively with our teammates and other service providers, ensures continuity and contributes to project success.

Chad Nelson

Lead Business Strategist, Minnesota Occupational Health

“We have worked with Steve since 2018. He has assisted us in establishing a full-service project team including design, construction and legal review that understands RCM and its unique needs. This allows RCM to evaluate options in any market and execute upon them once a site is selected.”

Scott Heintzeman

Chief Operating Officer, Retina Consultants of Minnesota

“Steve helped EPPA with identifying a strategic location for us ten years ago. In the current situation he solved a problem with an aging investor group and found a Grade-A landlord that specializes in healthcare, allowing us to continue operating from a location that has worked well for EPPA for the past 10 years – a wonderful trifecta. His sterling reputation brought credibility to the project and focus to the strategy. He wasn’t afraid to tell us when he didn’t think we were going the right direction.”

Tom Klassen

Chief Operating Officer, EPPA

"The healthcare advisory team has been a vital part of Children’s real estate strategy and development work for many years. Steve lives and breathes our mission with us and it is evident in his commitment to our organization. We are very thankful for his industry insight and extensive experience. He is a true pioneer in the healthcare real estate advisory realm!"
