FOLEY, Alabama — Wert-Berater, Inc., an independent feasibility study consulting firm serving lenders and government agencies since 1998, has completed a Medical Office Feasibility Study in Foley, Baldwin County, Alabama.

Wert-Berater served as independent feasibility consultant to the developer's capital partners. Party names are withheld consistent with the confidential nature of underwriting and capital-advisory work; figures represent the project as evaluated at the study date.

Project Summary

A 12.18-acre suburban medical village proposing approximately 68,000 square feet of medical office space distributed across nineteen buildings of 3,500 to 4,920 square feet — a deliberately decentralized campus design serving physician practices that favor identity, signage, and potential ownership over space in a consolidated MOB. Tenant interest at study date was oversubscribed, including specialties favoring condominium-style ownership, supporting a hybrid lease-and-sale absorption strategy.

What the Project Included

Nineteen medical office pads with full site infrastructure: internal roadways, parking fields, stormwater systems, and utility laterals, with pad-consolidation flexibility engineered in — adjacent 3,500 SF pads sharing utility laterals can convert to 7,000 SF suites if demand favors larger tenants.

Capital Structure

The study evaluated the proposed financing structure against program coverage minimums under base-case and stressed assumptions, with sources and uses reconciled to the development budget across the hybrid lease-and-sale absorption program. Specific facility terms are withheld consistent with engagement confidentiality.

Feasibility Study Challenges

The multi-building format carries a structural per-square-foot cost premium: infrastructure, lobbies, and utility connections are duplicated across nineteen structures, and the village consumes acreage faster than a consolidated design. The study's value-engineering pass — rationalized parking, consolidated stormwater basins, clustered utilities, phased roadways, reduced ornamental landscaping — identified $2.0–2.5 million in upfront savings and $2.5–3.0 million in ten-year operating efficiencies, cutting total project cost by nearly 8 percent without compromising the patient or provider experience.
