ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 11, 2014 – Healthcare real estate (HRE) construction is booming in the Northeastern United States, according to health care real estate data service Revista. In its inaugural regional market report, the HRE data firm says 66 construction projects totaling $7.9 billion and 8.9 million square feet are underway or in late planning in New York, Connecticut and New England. The Northeast market report was unveiled May 20 at an invitation-only launch event at the offices of law firm Foley & Lardner LLP in Boston. HRE data for other regions and the United States as a whole will be released later this spring.

“The level of healthcare real estate construction activity seen in the Northeast bodes well for the rest of the country,” says Mike Hargrave, one of Revista’s founding principals. “Although we don’t have national data yet, we would not be surprised to see similar levels of activity in other parts of the nation.”

The Northeast launch event was attended by more than 40 hospital, health system and physician practice group executives and HRE professionals. The event, sponsored by Foley & Lardner, included presentations by Revista principals Mr. Hargrave and Hilda Flower Martin. It also included a series of lively panel discussions featuring Revista’s founding advisory board members as well as other industry experts including Christopher J. Donovan, Attorney, Foley & Lardner; Robert Milligan, Senior Vice President – Corporate Finance, Healthcare Trust of America Inc. (HTA); and Frank Nelson, Executive Director – Capital Markets, Cushman & Wakefield.
