OUR SERVICES
End-to-End VA Facility Development
From initial VA solicitation response through the day the first Veteran walks through the door to receive care, Sentinel HDP manages every step of the process.
PROPOSAL & PROCUREMENT
We manage the full Request for Lease Proposals process for VA and federal lease procurements.
• Build a compliance matrix that maps every solicitation requirement to an owner, a deliverable, and a due date
• Secure site control and assemble technical submittals, design narratives, and schedules
• Price shell, tenant improvements, and operating costs from current quotes
• Run independent reviews of every volume before submission
ITS, SHDP's managing member and an SBA-certified SDVOSB, leads capture, pricing, teaming, and proposal development.
SITE SELECTION
We identify and secure sites that fit the VA delineated area and the Veterans it serves.
• Screen parcels for delineated area boundaries, drive times, transit access, and parking
• Confirm zoning, entitlements, utilities, and flood zone status early
• Complete environmental due diligence and support VA's NEPA and NHPA Section 106 reviews
• Lock in site control before the offer is due
NHRD, LLC, SHDP's development partner, uses patient demographics and referral patterns to guide site selection. NHRD's founder has completed more than 300 healthcare real estate assignments in 22 states.
FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
We develop purpose-built outpatient clinics to government specifications and lease them to the VA under long-term GSA and VHA lease structures.
• Translate VA program requirements and design guides into a buildable plan
• Develop ground-up, build-to-suit facilities sized to the clinical program
• Keep one accountable team from award through lease commencement and occupancy
NHRD's development experience covers outpatient medical buildings, ambulatory surgery centers, imaging and oncology centers, and multi-specialty clinics, on projects from $5 million to $100 million and 10,000 to 100,000 square feet.
PROJECT FINANCING
We structure construction & permanent financing through established lending & equity relationships.
• Build detailed development budgets that hold up to lender and VA review
• Match debt terms to the firm lease term so rent covers debt service
• Bring in joint venture equity where it strengthens the capital stack
• Plan for rate and cost changes between award and closing
NHRD brings budgeting, construction financing, and joint venture capital experience. ITS maintains a DCAA-approved accounting system.

We assemble and manage experienced architect-engineer and general contractor teams with healthcare and federal security expertise.
• Select A-E and GC partners with outpatient healthcare and federal project experience
• Manage VA design reviews at each submission milestone
• Track schedule, cost, and quality weekly and report status to the VA Lease Contracting Officer

NHRD manages planning and design from the site or campus master plan through tenant finish, with a focus on on-schedule, on-budget construction.
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
We deliver against VA physical security, accessibility, sustainability, and seismic standards throughout design, construction, and occupancy.
• Track every lease requirement in one compliance register from award through occupancy
• Coordinate security, accessibility, fire and life safety, sustainability, and seismic requirements
