What healthcare experience demonstrates Hammes’ specialization?

Hammes has completed more than 1,100 healthcare real estate engagements, including 488 medical office building and ambulatory care center projects, 200 new, replacement, renovated, or expanded hospital facilities, and 412 real estate, market strategy, and facility planning engagements. Hammes has developed or acquired 94 million square feet of healthcare facilities across settings that include hospitals, ambulatory care centers, medical office buildings, specialty clinics, children’s hospitals, cancer centers, research facilities, laboratories, and freestanding emergency departments.

How does Hammes combine national expertise with local execution?

Hammes is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and operates nationally through 17 locations. The firm brings national healthcare real estate experience to local market conditions, including construction costs, entitlement pathways, regulatory requirements, campus logistics, labor conditions, leasing dynamics, and provider-market considerations. This combination helps healthcare organizations apply proven real estate and project delivery practices while responding to the realities of each region, campus, and community.

How does Hammes leadership support work across the platform?

Hammes leadership spans healthcare consulting and project delivery, advisory services, project management, development, investment, asset management, property management, commercial development, investor relations, operations, and corporate services. That breadth matters because healthcare real estate decisions often involve strategy, finance, facilities, clinical operations, leasing, construction, ownership, and long-term performance. Hammes brings experienced leadership and coordinated teams to help keep those priorities aligned.
