FAST TRACK TO MERRIFIELD — Medical-Ready, Zero Disruption
2815 HARTLAND RD MERRIFIELD VA
We represented a primary care practice that lost its space on short notice and needed to relocate within 20 days—without interrupting patient care. We identified 2815 Hartland Rd (Merrifield, VA) as the best fit, negotiated a 10-year lease with a renewal option, and arranged temporary space in the building so the practice could continue seeing patients while minor improvements were completed.
Challenges
The client was on a month-to-month lease when the property sold; the new owner required the space back, forcing a move with a 20-day deadline. The practice needed a nearby medical office requiring minimal tenant improvements to maintain operations.
Our Strategy
- Focused search: Screened and toured medical-ready spaces near the original location to minimize patient disruption.
- Comparative analysis: Evaluated demographics, lease economics, and TI needs to prioritize speed and operational continuity.
- Execution plan: Selected 2815 Hartland Rd, secured the lease quickly, and arranged temporary space on-site while minor work finished in the permanent suite.
Results
- Continuity of care: Relocation executed within the compressed timeline, no service interruption.
- Long-term stability: 10-year lease with renewal option secured.
- Operational bridge: Temporary swing space provided during improvements to the permanent suite.
Why this matters for medical tenants
- Time kills clinics: When notices hit, proximity and medical readiness matter more than anything—patients need continuity.
- Runway = leverage: A longer term with a renewal option stabilizes rent planning and supports staffing and equipment investments.
- On-site swing space saves days: Temporary space inside the building keeps schedules intact while improvements finish.
