Community Oncology Partners (COP), a leading provider of accessible, community-based oncology care, has chosen CBRE and its family of companies as its real estate brokerage and master development partner to support the expansion of its medical oncology practices to meet the growing demand for care nationwide. This strategic partnership will facilitate the development of state-of-the-art oncology facilities with research capabilities in communities across the country, enhancing access to specialized cancer care in local settings.
Through this collaboration, CBRE will support real estate site selection and acquisition efforts, overseeing the design, construction and buildout of COP’s medical oncology practices. The expansion project aims to provide cancer (and blood disorder) patients with easier access to high-quality care closer to home, supporting COP’s mission of delivering compassionate, comprehensive cancer treatment to those who have previously been denied local access to care.
“We are thrilled to partner with CBRE, a partnership that brings unparalleled expertise in real estate and development,” said David Weissberg, president of Community Oncology Partners. “Our mission is to bring high-quality oncology care directly to patients in their communities, and this partnership is a critical step forward in that mission. Together, we will create modern, accessible facilities that prioritize patient comfort and care efficiency.”
Expanding Access to Cancer Care Nationwide
In response to the growing demand for localized cancer care, the partnership will focus on establishing practices in both underserved and rapidly expanding communities, ensuring that patients have access to cutting-edge oncology services without the need for extensive travel. Each facility will be designed to include the latest medical technology, patient-centered amenities and environmentally sustainable features, all tailored to meet the specific needs of each community.
“The treatment of cancer is data-driven and evidence-based. Therefore, the opportunity to partner with CBRE, an organization that is itself rooted in data and analytics, to make the best decisions possible for the outcomes of our communities is a win for everyone,” said Shaman Bakshi, CEO of Community Oncology Partners.
“COP and CBRE’s ability to analyze detailed zip code–level data will support our decisions, driven from data, to open our new cancer clinics in under-served locations, develop robust referral networks and enhance the cancer treatment workflow in the communities in which we provide care,” said Mr. Bakshi. “As we uncover more cancer clusters nationwide from our joint analysis, we will look to establish new best-in-class, site-of-care facilities with on-site lab and diagnostics, specialty pharmacy and infusion therapy along with other ancillary services.”
CBRE Expertise
With decades of experience in healthcare real estate, CBRE Health will be instrumental in identifying analytics for COP’s expansion based on factors such as community need, accessibility and demographic trends. It will also assist COP in putting together long-term, cost-effective leases. CBRE’s comprehensive understanding of the healthcare sector will be essential in aligning COP’s growth objectives with the most impactful locations.
Driving Innovation and Compassion in Community Oncology
COP’s new facilities will feature a range of services tailored to meet the needs of cancer patients, including medical oncology, infusion services, laboratory services and support resources for patients and families. The partnership’s development approach will focus on fostering a healing environment, with amenities designed to create a welcoming and supportive space for patients and their support systems who are undergoing treatment close to where they live.
“We are excited about the future of oncology care through this partnership with COP,” said Angie Weber, CBRE’s first vice president. “Our shared mission is to support patients in communities where the need is greatest. Together, we’re building a foundation for accessible, patient-centered cancer care that will have a lasting impact on communities nationwide.”
COP and CBRE are dedicated to reshaping the landscape of community oncology, providing a comprehensive network of care facilities to support patients, families and providers.
