We are very pleased to have Christie Grays join our company as our Business Development Director. Her business development skills, real estate background, and ties to the community throughout Florida made her a natural fit for this position. She is an outstanding individual.”

Bremner-Duke has $1 billion of capital available to assist hospitals and physician groups with the development of healthcare facilities. The Bremner-Duke joint venture allows Bremner Healthcare to utilize a flexible construction approach for hospital system projects. “Certain hospital systems will have a strong relationship with a general contractor, while others will suggest we issue a Request for Proposal to select the right general contractor,” states Vogt. “Our joint venture arrangement with Duke creates the ultimate flexible model for hospital systems. The Bremner-Duke design/build model will be utilized for many projects, while we will continue to utilize other general contractor firms when the hospital desires that process. With our healthcare expertise, Duke’s regional market infrastructure, and our flexible approach, we will have a competitive, flexible, and creative solution for each hospital system.”
