As healthcare property evolves into an increasingly sophisticated asset class, the fundamentals of a successful project are changing.
This panel brings together developers, investors and operators to unpack the new playbook, from site selection, design and development economics to leasing, capital structures and operator requirements, and what it takes to deliver healthcare assets built for long-term demand.
