Why You Won't Want To Miss This Conference:

What You'll Learn: 

  • How Denver's medical office and outpatient market is holding near 94.5% occupancy with lease rates of $24 to $32 per square foot, and how much further landlords can realistically push rent growth before tenants push back.

  • Where medical office cap rates stand today — a range of roughly 5.5% to 8.5% — and what it will take for pricing to compress further as financing conditions ease through the back half of 2026.

  • How private capital platforms and health systems are increasingly competing, and sometimes partnering, for the same off-campus medical office and outpatient assets.

  • Why behavioral health infrastructure is becoming a bigger share of the development pipeline, and how design and underwriting decisions are shifting to account for it earlier in the planning process.

  • How medtail — clinics, urgent care and specialty wellness tenants replacing traditional storefronts — is reshaping leasing strategy in established retail corridors across the metro.

  • What the metro's $800 million-plus wave of hospital and outpatient capital projects signals about which submarkets are positioned to capture the next round of investment.

  • What labor, cost, and reimbursement pressures mean for how architects, contractors, and health systems are designing.

You'll Network With:

  • Health System & Hospital Leaders — real estate, facilities, and capital planning executives from hospital systems and outpatient networks across the Denver metro

  • Investors & Capital Providers — private equity, institutional, and REIT investors targeting medical office, outpatient, and behavioral health assets

  • Developers & Owners — firms delivering medical office, ambulatory care, and behavioral health projects across Denver's fastest-growing submarkets

  • Architects & Designers — the teams planning facilities that flex between acute, ambulatory, and behavioral care

  • Contractors & Construction Executives — the builders navigating labor and cost pressure on healthcare projects across the metro

  • Brokers & Lenders — healthcare-focused investment sales, leasing, and debt professionals active in Denver medical office transactions

  • Retail & Medtail Landlords — owners and leasing agents backfilling retail space with clinics, urgent care, and specialty wellness tenants
