Clinical: Medical Real Estate Solutions, the newly launched real estate advisory firm, has added to its team with the hiring of Michael Swanson as director of portfolio transaction management.
According to the company, Swanson is a former senior transaction manager at CBRE, running 500-plus locations in multiple regions for McKesson’s US Oncology unit. The post is part of some 28 years of commercial and health care-related real estate experience, which also includes a position in Cushman & Wakefield’s Austin, Texas, office, where he managed day-to-day real estate portfolios on more than 250 locations for Davita Dialysis.
“We are honored to have Michael join us as we embark on this exciting, new venture,” said Jonathan Marks, CEO and founder of Clinical: Medical Real Estate Solutions. “We have already worked on several transactions together in our past positions. To have a medical real estate specialist of his caliber on board, speaks volumes about Clinical’s direction, as well as the importance of this rapidly growing sector.”
Over the years, Swanson has negotiated more than 1,000 transactions spanning 2.5 million square feet and achieving an estimated $100 million in cost savings on behalf of portfolio clients, Clinical said in a news release. He joins a newly launched team serving physicians, medical groups, hospitals, management services organizations and investors, with services including medical lease and sales transactions, portfolio optimization, strategic site selection, competition analysis, clinical space programming and specialized project management services for medical buildouts.
“Clinical provides an impressive medical real estate platform,” Swanson said. “I look forward to being part of an organization that enhances my ability to deliver even better value and results to health care clients.”
