What to Watch This Week in Medical Real Estate

A few key moments this week are worth noting—they won’t make headlines but will shape the medical CRE market in the months ahead.

First, Charlotte Healthcare Summit (July 17)—though technically last week, its ripple effects roll right into this one. The regional forum brought together hospital systems, developers, MOB investors, and lenders for a deep dive into outpatient demand and lifecycle capital strategy   . Expect continued conversations around absorption rates, lease structures, and site selection—particularly in secondary markets.

Also, keep an eye on Cushman & Wakefield’s Q2 senior living investor survey, due later this week. Its May results showed over 89% nationwide occupancy and cap rate compression expectations—but Q2 data might highlight whether that momentum is holding or cooling  .

On the federal level, the BOMA Medical Real Estate Conference recap dropped last month in Denver, but the materials and insights are still circulating—and will drive deal strategy this week. Look for follow-up webcasts or proprietary content on CRE tooling for outpatient expansion, legal frameworks, and adaptive reuse strategies  .

Here’s what you should be watching:

• Any mention of lease-term shifts or reimbursement changes for outpatient and senior housing assets—especially from attendees or sponsors.

• Data releases on tax credit logistics or municipal support for new healthcare infrastructure—these can shift underwriting overnight.

• Uptake of AI and automation by operators, particularly in senior living communities—a trend we’ve flagged, and one that’s gaining traction in public sector and legal definitions.

If you’re modeling occupancy, underwriting debt, or advising on outpatient projects, this week presents an opportunity to recalibrate… quietly but meaningfully.
