Aréte Orthodontics

Novi, MI
Proof that while the road to practice ownership isn’t always straight, the right team can help you navigate every twist and turn with confidence.

The Situation

Dr. Archana Rajan was an associate orthodontist with a long-held dream: to start her own private practice.

 

She faced two key challenges right away:

  • A non-compete clause that restricted her location options
  • A desire to stay close to home and establish roots in a growing community nearby

With only one opportunity to select the right location, securing ideal demographics (young families, nearby referring dentists) and strong lease terms was absolutely critical.

The Process

  • We partnered with a marketing and demographic analysis team to identify markets that could support a new orthodontic practice based on income levels, population growth, competition, and referral potential.
  • After narrowing down to several promising areas, we launched a focused property tour—evaluating visibility, access, parking, and proximity to population centers.
  • We submitted multiple offers and carefully negotiated lease terms on several top contenders.
  • Dr. Rajan initially chose a favorite location—but after a thorough lease review with her real estate attorney, she made the strategic decision to walk away due to overly restrictive terms that could have limited her long-term flexibility.

The Solution

Undeterred, we returned to the remaining top choices and reengaged negotiations—this time with even greater clarity about Dr. Rajan’s must-haves.

The Result

  • A stunning endcap space in a newly built retail center in a high-growth area of Novi, offering:

 

    • Exceptional visibility along 12 Mile Road with standout signage
    • Ample parking and easy access for families and patients
    • A thoughtfully designed interior that supports a high-end patient experience—thanks to her architect and trusted equipment supplier

With the support of a strong team—including Mirlo Real Estate Partners, her attorney, lender, contractor, architect, and design professionals—Dr. Rajan secured favorable lease terms that protect her future and enable growth.

 

Congratulations, Dr. Rajan!

Aréte Orthodontics is now open—and breathtaking. Dr. Rajan has built a modern, welcoming practice that reflects her values and commitment to excellence. What started as a complex journey ended in the ideal outcome: a thriving startup in a strategic location, with room to grow and a lease structure that sets her up for long-term success.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Remy was very helpful and straight forward with me about the challenges of starting a practice. He kept me well informed and was very proactive, a professional in every aspect of the real estate business. I could not have navigated this process without him; I will definitely use Remy for our future growth needs.

Dr. Kevin Semma, OD

Remy has been an indispensable part of my journey to build a veterinary practice. I had another commercial realtor that was not familiar with veterinary profession when Remy reached out to me. When I decided to stay with my previous realtor, Remy was willing to answer any questions I had or help in any way, even though I was not signing with him. I felt he genuinely wanted my business to succeed and wanted to help. Soon I realized the importance of having a realtor who has special knowledge of the healthcare field when choosing a space and decided to reach out to him. Remy is very professional, relaxed, and inviting. He brings his own expertise as well as others to consult about different aspects of building a practice. Remy is available, thoughtful, supportive, and assists in problem solving concerns that arise. The process was less stressful, because he was a partner in the process, not just a realtor. I have and will continue to recommend him for any commercial real estate needs.

Dr. Katie Boatman, DVM

Working with Mirlo Real Estate Partners was a great experience, and I could not be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, Nick and Remy helped me establish my preferences and outlined the best strategy for my specific situation. Not only werethey able to find the PERFECT space for me in a brand new medical office building, but due to the tight deadline, they were also able to find me an OUTSTANDING temporary space to occupy during the construction period to minimize downtime for my practice. Their hard work and dedication really made the transition seamless. Their knowledge of my needs and the market was STRONG and helped me achieve VERY FAVORABLE terms. I would highly recommend them to any healthcare provider for their commercial real estate needs.

Dr. Alon Kahana, MD, PhD

We are incredibly grateful to Remy Isdaner for guiding us through the challenging journey of starting our veterinary practice. Remy’s knowledge was deemed invaluable from the outset, assisting us in every aspect of the startup process. Remy found just the right building, and it wasn’t even on the market. He contacted the owners and successfully negotiated a favorable deal, making our dream of owning a practice a reality. Remy’s professionalism, persistence, and genuine care for our success truly set him apart. We highly recommend Remy to any business owner needing support with their business endeavors!

Dr. Krysten Andrews, DVM & Dr. TJ Vernaci, DVM

As an established oral surgeon, I can wholeheartedly recommend Remy Isdaner and Mirlo Real Estate Partners to any medical professional seeking to start or expand their practice. Not only did Remy advocate and fight for my best interest, but he also demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of my industry, exceeding my expectations and making the process as smooth as possible.

I could not be more satisfied with my experience working with Remy and my new, state-of-the-art oral surgery practice.

Their knowledge and professionalism were evident as they guided us through each step, ensuring that every aspect of the deal was executed at the highest level.
