Trusted Partnership Lays Groundwork for Expansion

When one of the largest dedicated owners and operators of medical office buildings in the United States, Healthcare Trust of America (HTA), recruited Wohlsen Construction to assist with the demolition and renovation for one of their tenants at Putnam Hospital, the project was right in Wohlsen’s wheelhouse. However, there was a new variable, as it was located beyond Wohlsen’s traditional footprint for overseeing construction. As a result, this particular project was not just another chance to prove our expertise in an occupied healthcare setting, but it was also an invaluable opportunity to enter a new market: New York State.

With a long-standing relationship with HTA, Wohlsen was initially called on to support their budgeting efforts while downsizing the third-floor medical offices of one of their current tenants, Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group. This budgeting helped finalize new lease negotiations for the new space, and by the end of 2022, Wohlsen was set to deliver the project.
