Greg VennPresident & Chief Executive Officer
Greg Venn co-founded NexCore Group in 2004 to grow a national platform for the development, ownership, and management of healthcare real estate. In late 2003, Greg structured, managed, and closed an acquisition/disposition transaction in excess of $110 million that kicked off the creation of NexCore Group. Under his leadership, NexCore has grown into a 40-person company that has been recognized as one of the top healthcare real estate developers by Modern Healthcare magazine since 2005. Under various joint ventures and ownership structures, NexCore and its principals have developed and acquired nearly 2.7 million square feet of healthcare facilities, including nearly 400,000 square feet of projects currently under development across the country.
In the second half of 2010, NexCore Group acquired a public corporation (CapTerra Financial Group, Inc.) and through this transaction created a public corporate parent that will provide ongoing capital for NexCore’s expanded operations. Greg is the CEO and Director, as well as a controlling board member, of the newly acquired company, which now operates under the name of NexCore Healthcare Capital Corp.
Greg is responsible for the vision, growth, and profitability of NexCore. On a daily basis, he directs the company’s strategies, identifies new business opportunities, and assists the company’s managing directors with structuring financial solutions tailored to each individual project. Greg also oversees real estate development, property acquisitions, investments, capital markets and finance, leasing, sales, and marketing.
With over 20 years of experience in real estate development, Greg is highly qualified to achieve NexCore’s vision. He has developed and/or managed projects ranging in size from 30,000 to 300,000 square feet and from $10 million to $100 million. Greg brings a diverse sensibility to NexCore that has been shaped by a wide range of experiences, beyond the formal company-building of the last six years. His background includes architecture and planning, finance, real estate brokerage, business administration, and construction management.
Greg’s credentials include a Bachelor of Environmental Design degree from the College of Architecture & Planning at the University of Colorado Boulder, MBA studies with a Real Estate Finance & Construction Management emphasis from the University of Denver, and Colorado Real Estate Broker License.
