Your Bridge to Demystifying Real Estate
The Healthcare Provider’s premier resource for Demystifying Real Estate.
Real Estate has so many facets and variables, that the smallest of nuances can impact the bottom line by not only tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, but even into the millions.
Bridge Realty was formed to provide valued resources and advocacy to Providers in evaluating real estate. We do this by laying out full transparency on the impact of your decision-making process.
Bridge Commercial understands proformas from both the Seller and Buyer perspective and what thresholds need to be met to make a deal work. This approach allows us to tactically work to your advantage whether Buying, Selling, Leasing, or forming a Joint Venture opportunity.
Our mission is to give healthcare practices the advantage in determining the best decision. Whether it be evaluating:
- Lease vs Purchase
- Renovation vs Relocation
- Purchase Existing Building vs New Construction
- Negotiation Strategies
- Structuring Proformas
- Capital Options
- 100% Finance Options
Case Study
We had a client ask for help after they negotiated a 24,000+ SF lease on their own. They were unsettled due to their limited perspective looking for peace of mind. We learned that they had a developer purchasing the building specifically for them and offered lease terms which they had accepted. We ran the purchase price + soft cost proforma from a Landlord’s perspective to review with the Tenant. We found that there were several hundred thousand dollars in value left on the table. With this new vantage point, we strategically proposed new terms at the threshold of proforma a Landlord would require to still make their bottom line.
The Result: The Landlord accepted all terms with very minor adjustments. The Client achieved the Peace of Mind knowing they received the best terms possible!
Unparalleled Specialization in representing Owners in the sale of their healthcare facilities and originating capital for new development and or expansion
