In a newly published article in the Minneapolis StarTribune, HSA PrimeCare President John Wilson discusses the Minneapolis market as a desirable area for future healthcare real estate investment and development in consideration with the drivers of change within the healthcare industry as a whole.

“The Twin Cities market has between 6 million and 7 million square feet of medical offices, split up roughly 50-50 between hospital on-campus and off-campus settings,” Wilson reports. “With the advancement of technology, the growth is in outpatient procedures, and so in the last few years we’ve been working with providers in helping them with their outpatient real estate strategies.”

HSA PrimeCare recently announced the formation of a joint venture with USAA Real Estate Company that will accelerate the growth of HSA’s healthcare acquisition and development program. With plans to expand throughout an 11 state region, Wilson claims the Twin Cities market provides the kind of stability being sought out by healthcare real estate investors.

“What we’re planning to do is meet with the major providers in the Twin Cities area, and really become not only a capital partner but a strategic partner with them,” Wilson added. “We’ve been in this space over 20 years now and understand that with medical real estate, it’s all about the delivery of care.”
