Tuesday, June 9th, 2015


Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) May 19, 2015

McWhirter Realty Partners, a comprehensive real estate services firm offering brokerage, property management and development service, along with MB Real Estate Healthcare Group, today announced they have broken ground on the second medical office building in the Conyers Medical Park. McWhirter Realty Partners is co-developing the building with MB Real Estate (MBRE) Healthcare Group, the project owner. McWhirter is also responsible for the leasing and management. Rockdale Medical Center is the major tenant.

The healthcare industry is changing rapidly and the demand for healthcare real estate is rising, said Barry E. McWhirter, president and CEO. The Conyers Medial Park offers a convenient location with multiple medical disciplines on one campus which satisfies todays consumers needs.

The expansion provides 30,000 square feet of medical office space and allows Rockdale Medical Center, a subsidiary of LifePoint Health, to expand its urgent care, general surgery, vascular and neurological operations among other specialties. Additional tenants include Piedmont Hospital and MD Pain Management.

We are excited to be a part of this development which will serve the greater Rockdale County community, said Peter Westmeyer, president and managing principal of MBRE Healthcare Group. Rockdale Medical Center is renowned for its patient-centered care and dedicated staff. This new location will further enhance the centers service offerings to the community by providing expansionary space for existing users while offering new convenient options for additional physician groups and service providers.

This is the second of four buildings planned for the Conyers Medical Park, an 11 acre campus located at 1301 Sigman Road, Conyers, Georgia. The first building opened in 2009 and is 100 percent leased. The project is scheduled for completion in fourth quarter 2015. MBRE Healthcare Group is also the construction manager of the new development at Conyers Medical Park. Construction services will be provided by Benning Construction Co. and Robertson Loia Roof is providing the architectural services.

Rockdale Medical Center and its affiliated practices have been successful at the Conyers Medical Park and the expansion will allow us to better serve the needs of our community, said Cliff Wilson, Assistant Administrator, RMC. New construction of medical office space is still low and out dated buildings are not well-suited for todays technology infrastructure or consumer demands for convenient access to healthcare services. This facility will offer state of the art technology and design for todays changing medical industry.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2014


Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 21, 2014

Linda C. Mack, founder and president of Mack International, the premier retained executive search and family office strategic management/human capital consulting firm, has been selected to co-chair the Opal Financial Group 2014 Family Office & Private Wealth Management Forum: The Race for Returns, to be held July 21- 23 at the Hyatt Regency Newport in Newport, Rhode Island.

The conference is one of Opals premier Private Wealth Series events for high-net-worth individuals and family offices from around the world. Linda C. Mack will co-chair the Forum and present opening remarks with Jason Cavanagh, CEO of the Saint Leonard Family Office (SFO), and Michael Pompian, Partner and Director of Private Wealth Practice, Mercer, LLC.

Some of the most well-established family offices, private investors, money managers and private wealth service providers attend for three days of engaging discussions and peer-to-peer exchanges on not only a spectrum of current investments trends but also a variety of softer issues effecting current and future generations of families, Linda Mack explained.

In addition to co-chairing the conference, Mack will moderate a panel on Wednesday, July 23 titled Operations and technology: Leading edge family office infrastructure and family office reporting. Panelists will include Mark Wickersham, Director, Netage Solutions, Inc., James Koutoulas, CEO, Typhon Access, Carl Sheeler, Director, Berkeley Research Group, LLC and Melissa Mattison, Vice President, Strategic Solutions.

According to Mack, the session will explore key evolving operational reporting and technology trends and the impact of these trends on family offices. We will discuss how ownership structures, asset allocation and client requirements affect reporting needs of single and multi-family-offices, and what considerations these organizations should take into account before embarking on significant technology investment, upgrades or changes, Mack said.

The session will also cover key challenges that single and multi-family-offices face in successfully changing or upgrading reporting technology. Panelists will offer insights into how to best determine the familys core technology and reporting needs; whether resources and expertise exist in-house and when to outsource; security, confidentiality and reliability issues; and how to maintain successful operations during changes, Mack continued.

As with numerous decisions in any family office operation, it is essential that there is agreement and alignment of operational technology decisions with family goals and values, Mack said.

The Forum will also have presentations explore the challenges and opportunities associated with investing in emerging markets, alternative investments, real estate, gold, and numerous other asset classes, and will also include sessions addressing other issues of import to family offices such as office structure, taxation and regulation, risk management, high-impact philanthropy and technology trends.

Opal Financial Group will kick off the event with its Annual Americas Regatta Cup, in which attendees will have the opportunity to work with a professional sailing charter crew while competing against industry peers.
