Podcast: Northmarq’s Toby Scrivner on why healthcare real estate is set to rebound in 2026
Key insights from the latest GlobeSt. Perspectives Podcast

The Jan. 8 GlobeSt. Perspectives Podcast examines why healthcare real estate is entering 2026 with renewed momentum after a challenging capital markets environment. Toby Scrivner, SVP and director of Northmarq’s National Healthcare Group, shares perspective on how aging demographics, steady patient demand, and the continued shift toward outpatient care are reinforcing the sector’s long-term fundamentals.
While higher interest rates and construction costs slowed activity in recent years, Scrivner notes that improved capital availability and greater pricing clarity are beginning to unlock transactions. As a result, healthcare real estate is emerging as one of the more resilient and defensive asset classes heading into 2026.
