Strategic leasing and smart timing lead to a stunning new home for a growing practice.

The Situation

 

After acquiring a second practice, Dr. Jeff Dillingham found himself in a familiar but frustrating position—too many patients, not enough space. With two merged practices and an outdated facility, he was ready to move into something that reflected the vibrancy and professionalism of his growing brand.

His main goals were clear:

  • Stay as close as possible to his existing location
  • Find a larger, updated space that matched the practice’s energy
  • Lease—not purchase—given the tight building inventory in the area

The Process

  • We conducted a focused search, targeting upscale office buildings within a tight radius. After narrowing down a shortlist, we negotiated favorable terms on a suite in Dr. Dillingham’s top-choice building.
  • But just as plans were moving forward, the landlord unexpectedly pulled out of the deal.
  • Rather than lose momentum, we quickly regrouped and reassessed the market. Just a few buildings away, we uncovered a new and even better opportunity—a bright, elegant suite just off the lobby of one of Bloomfield Hills’ most prestigious office buildings. The suite had:
    • Abundant natural light and expansive windows
    • A landlord willing to customize the footprint to meet Dr. Dillingham’s needs
    • A high-end, welcoming aesthetic to match the practice’s brand

The Solution

  • The building was a perfect match—but required extensive buildout, including modifications to divide a large vacancy into the right-sized space.
  • Our team managed negotiations, coordinated timelines, and helped align vendors to ensure the project stayed on track.
  • Though the construction timeline was long, the final result was well worth the wait.

The Result

Today, Dr. Dillingham practices in a beautiful, modern suite that reflects the quality of care he delivers.

  • It’s a sleek, light-filled space just down the road from his former office,
  • A smooth transition for patients, with no major disruption, and
  • A sophisticated new home that elevates the experience for staff and patients alike.

Congratulations, Dr. Dillingham!

This project is a testament to how resilience, speed, and strategic flexibility can turn a frustrating setback into a major win. When the unexpected happens, the right guide makes all the difference.

We are so happy for Dr. Dillingham and the entire team on their incredible new space, and we’re proud to have helped bring their vision to life.

I am beyond thrilled with the incredible support I received during the process of relocating and expanding my dental practice. With Remy Isdaner’s expert guidance, I was able to find and secure space in a stunning, Class A office building in Bloomfield Hills. This new location not only offers a state-of-the-art facility but also more than doubles the space of my previous office, allowing us to provide even better care for our patients. The entire transition was seamless and stress-free, thanks to the professional and attentive assistance Remy provided. I highly endorse his services to anyone looking to elevate their practice! -Dr. Jeffrey S. Dillingham, DDS | Dillingham Hanson Family, Cosmetic, & Implant Dentistry

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!
