CEO, LEED AP
Eastman Cooke & Associates
What person, project, transaction, or market had the greatest impact on your industry this year?
Healthcare was among busiest sectors for construction companies. Our track record in constructing medical facilities paved the way for expansion within the category, spanning satellite surgical centers to senior housing with medical units. That experience also prepared us for a new wave of veterinary centers requiring buildouts with many similarities.
What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2023?
Cannabis will drive investment and development in 2023! We’re already being approached by property owners, architects, and tenants regarding proposals for retail cannabis dispensaries and growth centers. While dispensaries will mirror high-end boutiques, for which we are well-prepared, we anticipate new regulations for growth centers will define those construction protocols.
