Why Doctors Are Rethinking the Traditional Office Lease

Why spend years paying rent when you could own the office instead?

A new medical office project on Wilshire Boulevard is allowing doctors to purchase their office suites rather than lease them — a model that’s already common in Europe.

According to Oron Maher, professionals who expect to stay in one location long-term should look at real estate differently. Owning the space can build equity while providing greater control over occupancy costs.

Instead of paying rent to a landlord for years, professionals may be able to build ownership in the property they’re already operating from.

Could office ownership become the future for doctors and other professional businesses?
