Answers to the questions we hear most from healthcare professionals, hospitals, property owners, and life sciences organizations exploring their real estate options.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
MedSpace is a real estate advisory firm focused on healthcare and life sciences. We help healthcare professionals, hospitals, property owners, and life sciences organizations navigate complex real estate decisions that span leasing, purchasing, selling, relocating, expanding, and planning long-term portfolio strategy. We also offer full-service project planning and delivery, from interior design through construction and move-in.
-
Most commercial brokerages treat healthcare real estate like any other asset class. We don't. Our team's expertise is built on a deep understanding of the clinical, operational, and regulatory realities that shape real estate decisions in healthcare and life sciences spaces. That means we understand lease provisions that affect practice stability, zoning and compliance requirements specific to healthcare facilities, and the operational factors that determine whether a space actually works for its intended use.
-
We work with four primary client groups: medical and healthcare professionals (physicians, dentists, optometrists, allied health practitioners, etc.), hospitals and healthcare organizations, property owners and asset managers with healthcare-oriented properties, and life sciences and medtech organizations. Our advisory approach is tailored to the specific operational environment and priorities of each.
-
MedSpace is headquartered in Toronto and has built its track record across the GTA and southern Ontario. Our advisory capabilities extend nationally, supporting healthcare organizations and property owners across Canada wherever specialized real estate guidance is needed.

Our work spans four core service areas:
- Healthcare Real Estate Advisory: lease negotiation, site selection, relocations, expansions, market analysis
- Portfolio & Growth Strategy: long-term planning, highest-and-best-use analysis, growth modelling, multi-site coordination
- Project Planning & Delivery: interior design, construction management, budget and timeline oversight, commissioning and move-in
- Owner Leasing & Asset Optimization: property marketing, tenant positioning, ecosystem creation, ongoing asset performance advisory
-
It starts with a conversation. We learn about your practice, your clinical and operational requirements, your growth plans, and your timeline. From there, we develop a shortlist of suitable properties, conduct site tours, and handle lease or purchase negotiations on your behalf. If you need design and construction support, our project delivery team manages that from concept through move-in.
-
MedSpace positions your property in front of a qualified network of healthcare professionals, institutions, and life sciences organizations who are actively looking for space. We handle marketing, tenant outreach, positioning, LOI negotiation, and lease structuring. We also advise on tenant mix strategy to maximize the long-term clinical and commercial value of your property.
-
Yes. Our Project Planning & Delivery team manages the full build process for healthcare environments: interior design and space planning, construction management, budget and schedule oversight, and commissioning.

Our fee structure varies by engagement type. Real estate advisory services (leasing, acquisitions, dispositions) are typically structured around standard brokerage commission models. Project planning and delivery, portfolio strategy, and consulting engagements are scoped and priced on a project basis. We're happy to walk you through the fee structure during an initial consultation.
