Hired at a time when BMC was at the brink of receivership and tasked with the development of a new real estate strategy that would help put the organization onto a path of financial sustainability, I formulated what became known as BMC's Campus Redesign project. Considered to be one of the most complex construction and real estate initiatives ever undertaken within an active hospital, the project consolidated BMC's two campuses into a single footprint and monetized the excess real estate to help fund the entire initiative. The project required over 40 phases of construction within the busiest level 1 trauma center in the northeast U.S. while executing a deferred portfolio sale of the campus to be vacated so as to avoid the expense of a lease-back and associated real estate taxes. The finished project produced a completely transformed BMC campus with one of the most modern hospital campuses in the region while realizing over $30 million of annual operating and lease savings. In addition, it resulted in BMC being named one of the top 25 Greenest hospitals in the U.S. six years running. Show less
