In this role, Mr. Urquiola executes appraisals on an array of seniors housing and healthcare properties while implementing initiatives intended to grow the market presence of the senior housing and healthcare specialty group.
With 12 years of valuation and financial/asset management expertise, Mr. Urquiola has developed an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of the seniors housing and healthcare capital markets. His core professional knowledge stems from the completion of hundreds of real estate and going concern appraisals of seniors housing and healthcare properties, including, but not limited to, living facilities, independent living communities, skilled nursing facilities, residential care facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, medical offices, psychiatric hospitals and behavioral health facilities. He has also contributed to the valuation of acute care hospitals, specialty hospitals and long-term care hospitals.
