Healthcare Real Estate Expertise In Every Market We Serve.
Our tenant representation team doesn’t just know real estate — they know the hospitals, the practices, the buildings, and the healthcare ecosystem in every market we serve. That depth of knowledge is what sets our clients up for success from the first site tour to the day they open their doors.
Our advisors are embedded in the healthcare communities they serve. They know which buildings have strong clinical infrastructure, which landlords accommodate physician tenants, which hospital systems are expanding and in which corridors — and how all of it affects your practice’s long-term position.
Building-Level Intelligence
We know the buildings — their clinical infrastructure quality, parking ratios, HVAC and plumbing capacity, landlord responsiveness, and the existing tenant mix that will shape your patient experience and referral environment.
Healthcare Network Access
Our relationships span hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and practice administrators across every market we serve. That network produces off-market opportunities, referral introductions, and market intelligence that no database can replicate.
Market Dynamics Knowledge
Health system expansion plans, new MOB development pipelines, changing patient demographics, and submarket rent trends — our advisors track all of it in real time so your location decision is made with complete market context.
Our Approach
Real Estate Advisory That Goes Beyond the Lease
A location decision for a medical practice is not just a real estate transaction. It affects patient access, referral relationships, clinical operations, and long-term practice value. We bring all of that into the conversation from the first meeting.
Clinical Workflow Integration
We analyze your clinical workflow — patient throughput, exam room requirements, procedure space needs, staff operations, and front-of-house patient experience — before we ever evaluate a specific space. Location and layout decisions follow clinical requirements, not the other way around.
Patient Access Strategy
Where your patients live, how they travel, where competing practices are located, and how hospital referral patterns flow in your market — all of it informs site selection before a single lease is reviewed.
Referral Ecosystem Awareness
The right building puts you in proximity to the right referral partners. The wrong one isolates you from the network your practice depends on. Our team knows the referral relationships in your market and factors them into every location recommendation.
Long-Term Practice Positioning
We think about where your practice is going over the next ten years — not just where it needs to be today. Lease structures, expansion rights, and renewal options are negotiated with your growth trajectory in mind.
Process
From First Conversation Through Opening Day
Step 01
Clinical Needs Assessment
We start with your practice — specialty, workflow, patient volume, growth plan, and market goals. Your clinical requirements drive every real estate decision that follows.
Step 02
Market Intelligence & Site Survey
A comprehensive survey of available medical-grade space, including off-market opportunities surfaced through our healthcare network. Every option evaluated against your clinical requirements, patient demographics, and market context.
Step 03
Negotiation
Lease terms negotiated using current transaction data, clinical buildout benchmarks, and your market optionality as leverage. Rent, free rent, tenant improvement, term, renewal options, and specialty-specific provisions — all at the table simultaneously.
Step 04
Through Occupancy Support
Coordination with your architect and contractor through buildout, regulatory compliance review, and move-in support. We don’t consider the engagement complete until you’re seeing patients.
Platform Integration
Real Estate Connected to Your Entire Practice Picture
Because we sit within the Clinical Group platform, your tenant rep advisor has direct access to advisory, development, and investment colleagues who add dimensions to the real estate decision that a standalone real estate firm simply cannot.
Practice Financial Context
Clinical Advisory’s EBITDA and valuation work informs real estate cost decisions — ensuring your occupancy cost is evaluated as a percentage of practice economics, not just as a rent-per-SF figure.
Build vs. Lease Analysis
When the right space doesn’t exist in your market, Clinical Development evaluates ground-up or ASC development as an alternative — with a financial comparison built alongside the lease analysis.
Ownership Opportunity
For the right practice in the right market, Clinical Investment evaluates the acquisition of your practice facility — so your real estate spend builds equity rather than a landlord’s balance sheet.
FAQ
Common Questions
What markets do you serve?
We are currently active in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida, with our team embedded in each market’s healthcare community. Massachusetts and Connecticut expansion is underway for 2027.
When should I engage you before my lease expires?
Ideally 18–24 months before expiration. This gives us time to survey the market with genuine optionality — and negotiate from a position of strength rather than urgency. The earlier we engage, the better the outcome.
Do you handle medical office purchases as well as leases?
Yes. We represent physician buyers in medical office acquisitions and can coordinate with Clinical Investment to evaluate whether an ownership structure makes more sense than a lease for your specific situation.
How is your fee structured?
In most lease transactions, our fee is paid by the landlord as part of the transaction — so our representation typically costs you nothing out of pocket. We are fully transparent about any fee arrangements before engagement begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions We Hear Most Often
Substantive answers to the questions physicians and healthcare investors ask most frequently about this service.
How far in advance should a physician engage a real estate advisor before their lease expires?
Ideally 18 to 24 months before lease expiration. This timeframe is critical because it gives your advisor time to conduct a genuine market survey, identify alternative spaces that create real optionality, and negotiate from a position of strength — not under the pressure of an approaching deadline. Landlords know when your lease expires and will use urgency against you if you engage late. Physicians who begin the process 6 months or less before expiration consistently receive less favorable terms than those who plan ahead. If your lease has a renewal option, that window may close earlier than the expiration date — making the timeline even more important.
What is tenant improvement allowance and how much should a physician expect in a medical office lease?
Tenant improvement (TI) allowance is the dollar amount per square foot the landlord contributes toward the cost of building out your space. In medical office leases, TI allowances vary significantly based on market conditions, landlord motivation, lease term, and your credit quality as a tenant. Clinical buildouts are significantly more expensive than standard office construction — medical-grade plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and specialized infrastructure can run $80 to $200 per square foot or more depending on specialty and market. Our pre-construction budgeting and market benchmarking ensures you negotiate a TI allowance calibrated to your actual buildout cost — not a generic office figure that falls far short.
What are the most important lease provisions for a physician to negotiate beyond rent?
Beyond base rent, the provisions with the most long-term impact for physician tenants include: renewal options and the rent reset mechanism at renewal; permitted use clauses that are broad enough to cover your specialty’s full scope of practice; sublease and assignment rights that give you flexibility if your practice is acquired; personal guarantee limitations; termination rights if the building changes ownership or anchor tenants depart; exclusivity provisions that prevent competing specialties from leasing in the same building; and buildout specifications that protect your tenant improvement allowance. Many physicians focus exclusively on monthly rent while overlooking provisions that have far greater financial impact over a 10-year lease term.
Should a physician lease or buy their medical office space?
The right answer depends on your practice’s financial position, growth trajectory, market dynamics, and long-term plans. Ownership builds equity, eliminates renewal risk, and can create a valuable asset — but requires capital, ties up liquidity, and adds operational complexity. Leasing preserves flexibility and capital but builds no equity. For practices considering a sale within 5 to 10 years, ownership can actually complicate a transaction if the real estate is entangled with the practice. We evaluate the lease-versus-buy decision alongside Clinical Investment, comparing projected ownership returns against lease economics and your practice’s specific financial goals before recommending either path.
What is a co-tenancy clause in a medical office lease and do I need one?
A co-tenancy clause gives you rights — typically reduced rent or a termination option — if a key anchor tenant in your building vacates. In medical office buildings, the departure of a major physician group or health system tenant can significantly reduce patient traffic and referral flow for all remaining tenants. Co-tenancy provisions protect your position if the clinical ecosystem that made a location attractive is disrupted after you sign. Not every lease situation warrants a co-tenancy clause, but in buildings where your practice depends on the presence of specific anchor tenants or a critical mass of clinical co-tenants, negotiating this protection can be highly valuable.
