“We have had a great deal of success throughout the country in building healthcare with several hospital systems this year through our Duke Realty joint venture,” states Chuck Vogt, Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer for Bremner Healthcare Real Estate. “Our expansion into the Southeast will further our growth. We are very pleased to have Buddy Lee join our company as our Business Development Director. He is an outstanding individual.”
Mr. Lee, who joins Bremner Healthcare from Place Properties, will focus on developing hospital relationships and healthcare projects throughout Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and north Florida. Prior to working at Place Properties, he was with the law firm of Reinhardt, Whitley, Wilmot, Summerlin & Pittman.

”I am excited and honored to be part of the Bremner Healthcare team. They are a company who believes in what they do and stands by what they say.

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.”
