Health Care Real Estate
Pioneers
Barely a blip on the radar screen 20 years ago, healthcare
has been among the fastest-growing—and fastest-evolving—
sectors in real estate. Meet 16 leaders who have helped to make
the business what it is today.
By Paul Bubny, Rayna Katz and Erika Morphy
James D.
Bremner
In the mid-1990s, James
Bremner was among the
first commercial real estate
developers and investors to
recognize the growing
need—and opportunity—
presented by the healthcare industry. He founded
Bremner & Wiley, a pioneering firm in the sector,
in 1994; it later grew into
an industry leader as
Bremner Healthcare Real
Estate. In 2004, Bremner
Healthcare formed a joint
venture with Duke Realty; the partners developed nine facilities
totaling 784,000 square feet over the next three years. The success of this working relationship led Duke to acquire Bremner
Healthcare in 2007, and today, Bremner serves as president of
Duke Realty’s healthcare division, which has amassed a portfolio of 5.4 million square feet under his direction.
Debra A. Cafaro
Debra Cafaro has been CFO of Ventas since 1999 and chairman
of its board of Directors since 2003. She almost needs no introduction—Cafaro is easily recognized from her many professional
commitments and industry accolades. Here is the short list: She
was selected as one of the Top 50 Women in World Business by
36 Real Estate Forum October 2013
the Financial Times, and one
of the 100 Most Influential
People in Healthcare by
Modern Healthcare. She was
also voted by investors and
analysts to Institutional
Investor’s 2011 and 2012 “AllAmerican Executive Team.”
Cafaro is a former chair of
NAREIT and has served as a
distinguished representative
voice for REITs in general.
She came to health care real

her background and educational training was in the law.
She served as a judicial clerk to the Hon. J. Dickson Phillips, US
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and has taught real estate
transactions and finance from 1988 to 1992 as an Adjunct
Professor at Northwestern University Law School.
Joseph D. Carroll

president and CEO ever since, directing all aspects of the development process, including land acquisition, entitlements,

years later, Chapman became the
REIT’s chairman and CEO, taking on the title of president once
again in 2009 after previously
serving in that capacity between 1995 and 2002. On his watch,
HCN has grown from a $358-million company into a $23-billion
one that’s on the S&P 500 list. A recent highlight was the
$4.3-billion acquisition of Sunrise Senior Living, a deal that
closed this past summer and put HCN among the world’s largest
owners in this sector.

on for days, Sharon Harper has

her leadership, Plaza has been honored as one of Arizona’s most
admired companies by Arizona
Business Magazine; large developer

medical office building of the year, for three years; and by
Arizona Business Magazine as an ‘economic engine’ in 2007.

Lillibridge, who also serves as executive vice president of medical property operations for parent company Ventas, is responsible for the strategic focus, vision and overall leadership of
medical office building operations for both the subsidiary and

buildings we own or manage.”

Scott Peters has grown it
into one of the nation’s largest dedicated owners of

including NNN Properties—later merged with Grubb & Ellis,
where he became CEO—and Golf Trust of America Inc.
Danny Prosky
A founding principal of
American Healthcare
