News Release: H2C Advises Yuma Regional Medical Center on Its Selection of a Developer for a Pipeline of Medical Office Buildings and a Clinic

NEW YORK — Dec. 8, 2020 — Hammond Hanlon Camp LLC’s (“H2C”) real estate team served as the exclusive advisor to Yuma Regional Medical Center (“YRMC” or the “System”) on a developer selection process to retain a developer to build a pipeline of planned medical office buildings and a clinic (the “Pipeline”) throughout Greater Yuma, Ariz.

The majority of the planned developments will be occupied by the System. The Pipeline will enable YRMC to bolster its capacity for surgery and care at its main campus, consolidate specialties to enhance efficiency of care delivery, and expand its services in the growing Foothills and San Luis markets. Each planned development serves a unique operational purpose for YRMC, with construction of the first two developments expected to begin before the end of this year.

“YRMC has embraced an ’asset-light’ approach to its real estate, which means that it prefers to lease, not own, buildings as well as outsource the development of new buildings to qualified development partners. This approach to real estate allows the System ultimate flexibility without sacrificing control, faster out-to-market timing, and favorable balance sheet treatment,” said PJ Camp, Principal for H2C.

H2C Vice President Matthew Tarpley added, “Our developer selection process was extremely competitive, which allowed us to drive the expected lease rate down, compare potential partners’ key considerations, and ultimately select the developer that was the best in class. The System will now be able to develop the planned Pipeline and realize its vision without any upfront capital.”
