Ryan’s Collective Insight: The Driver Behind Our Healthcare Facility Solutions

Healthcare buildings are essential to the health, comfort and wellness of patients–requiring an elusive design balance for not only them, but also for their families and the staff. Encompassing a wide range of building types, these facilities include small and straightforward medical clinics to large and complex teaching and research hospitals. With almost 25 years developing, designing and building in the healthcare industry, we understand the important needs these facilities fill and the level of flexibility they require to adapt to the ever-changing landscape in medical innovation. Ryan is committed to creating holistic environments– beginning with the planning process–using our collective insight to produce solutions that support safety, reduce costs and improve patient outcomes, staff effectiveness and morale.

Because of our work in the healthcare space Ryan has been named a top outpatient developer by Revista and Healthcare Real Estate Insights for the second year in a row. In 2018, we were listed number eight overall based on square footage, and this year jumped to the number six slot. Additionally, Ryan tops the list as the number one design-build firm in Modern Healthcare’s 2019 Construction and Design Survey. Projects recognized in this survey encompass eight states and over 400,000 square feet. “It’s an exciting time for Ryan in the healthcare marketplace,” said David Wilson, Vice President of Real Estate Development. “We are seeing continued growth and customers are starting to recognize us more and more. Being named a top 10 outpatient developer in the country, once again, is an honor and we are very proud.”

The survey incorporates current and recently completed Ryan projects including the Brandon Gateway Medical Plaza in Brandon, FL. This 57,000-SF multi-tenant facility is located on an important thoroughfare in the community that provides convenient patient access. Primary tenant, Florida Orthopaedic Institute, occupies over half of the building with a large portion of the building serving as an urgent care clinic. Ryan was responsible for the development, design, construction and financing of the project, and currently owns and manages the facility. This project was completed in December 2018.

Banner Health, an outpatient facility located on the Banner Ironwood Medical Center campus in Queen Creek, AZ, is still in progress. This 60,000-SF facility will be leased out to various physician practices and medical groups. Co-developed through Ryan and Plaza Companies, the project is being built by our team and is slated for completion this summer. The facility will also be maintained by our real estate management’s building services group.

Examples of our real estate and facility strategy include facility and asset management, land position identification/evaluation, ambulatory network or facility expansions, emerging product types and creative capital solutions. To date Ryan has delivered over 175 successful healthcare projects and completed work in 17 states.

Ryan continues to increase work within the healthcare market, succeeding through our unique integrated approach combined with deep in-house expertise and various service offerings. As a partner and consultant to health systems and other providers we offer guidance and implementation of healthcare real estate and facilities, creating solutions that meet the needs of our customers nationwide and provide a high level of quality and safety. Vice President of Real Estate Development, Erwin Effler III adds, “Our collective insight of services and deep understanding of the healthcare industry allow us to deliver quicker results towards our client’s goals, so they can get back to providing quality care to their patients.”
