Repurposing concepts for hospitals

Hospitals are facing fundamental challenges: New laws, the increasing shift toward outpatient care, and the structural aftermath of COVID-19. Especially smaller clinics need clear strategies and usage concepts to stay relevant in the healthcare system long term. We join forces with operators, investors, and the public sector to develop sustainable concepts and future-proof healthcare facilities.

To what extent are you impacted by the structural change in the healthcare sector?

Are you having to change the current use of your hospital as the result of economic constraints or the consolidation of sites and services?
Can the facility be successfully repurposed?
Are there value creation considerations regarding the hospital building that has been closed down?
Is sale of the property an option?
Is a campus approach to use of space by tertiary services a possibility?

You have to address the following points

Overall economic viability
Market situation and competition
Efficient use of space
Appropriate repurposing concepts

Our approach to hospital repurposing concepts

As part of a thorough feasibility study, our experts first undertake a property valuation with Technical Due Diligence (TDD), and draw up a market and site analysis taking possible repurposing options into account. The final report includes rough cost estimates, thus providing a decision document. The revitalization process can then start, with Drees & Sommer defining the measures required, establishing an organizational structure, and estimating the investment costs. This is followed by actual implementation.
