Where Patients, Providers,
and Investors All Win

The New Model for Healthcare Design

For years, medical office design meant optimizing for one goal, whether clinical workflow, construction budget, or lease velocity. At SAA, we’ve found a better way, one that creates win–win–win outcomes for everyone involved.

Our Healthcare Practice designs environments where patients have better experiences, providers want to work, and operations run efficiently, while building in the capital efficiency and speed to market that protect investor returns and accelerate lease velocity.
Every project begins with understanding how space influences healing, connection, and care, then building in the real estate fundamentals that ensure projects perform for patients, providers, and investors.

We asked the leader of our Healthcare Practice, Danna Sigal, and her exceptional team how SAA continues to design spaces where performance, purpose, and people all win

“Great healthcare design isn't about choosing between what's good for patients and what's good for portfolios. It's about thoughtfully crafting spaces that work for patients, providers, and investors. Property owners get premium tenants and built-in flexibility that protects their investment. Healthcare operators get high-performing environments that support their clinical mission. Brokers close deals faster because both sides win. When design addresses what each stakeholder actually needs, everyone benefits.”-Danna Sigal

Case in point: A recent women’s health project challenged our team to transform a windowless basement into a space that feels restorative, uplifting, and alive. Centered around a circular glass atrium that draws natural light deep into the interior, the design reimagines what could have been a confined environment into one that feels open, calm, and connected. The result is more than a clinic; it is a sanctuary for healing and connection that redefines modern women’s healthcare.
