In 2004. Bremner created the Bremner/Duke joint venture arrangement with Duke Realty Corporation. The joint venture does not replace Bremner, it supplements Bremner’s regional infrastructure by providing a $1 billion capital source with no financing contingencies, along with Duke’s local construction presence in Bremner’s target markets. It was developed through the practical realization that many hospital systems desired the knowledge and experience of Bremner’s comprehensive healthcare development expertise and compliance-driven/hospital grade facility management and maintenance coupled with Duke Construction’s strong local market presence, high-quality construction, close relationships with local sub-contractors, and cost efficiencies gained through the buying power of Duke’s annual construction volumes of over $800,000,000.
