Mr. Appel joins HFF from Marcus & Millichap where he was most recently a director of their Healthcare Properties Group and the Net Leased Properties Group.

“Ben’s background and relationships in the medical office space will bring tremendous value to HFF’s healthcare clients as we continue to build out this platform and more specifically the medical office building group at HFF,” said John Pelusi, executive managing director and head of HFF’s national healthcare practice. “Ben will be working alongside our team leaders, Michael Bennett and Phil Mahler, and Evan Kovac to continue building our national practice group, as there is exceptional demand for medical office buildings due to the aging baby boomer generation and the stability of this asset class. HFF is equipped to handle a variety of client needs in this arena, including seniors housing and life sciences.”
“We are excited to have Ben join our efforts in building out our product specialties in the Philadelphia office, especially in light of the $160.75 million recent sale of 833 Chestnut,” said Mark Thomson, senior managing director and head of HFF’s Philadelphia office.
