BremnerDuke develops new med center on West Side of Cincinnati
Released: 7/28/2010
CINCINNATI, July 28, 2010 – BremnerDuke Healthcare Real Estate has developed a new two-story, 45,136 square foot (rentable) outpatient facility on Cincinnati’s growing West Side. It will be known as Good Samaritan Medical Center Western Ridge. As the name implies, the facility is affiliated with Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, part of the TriHealth healthcare system.
Construction of the medical center began in July 2009. The new facility is specifically designed to provide “one-stop shopping” for outpatient care.
The first floor will house a freestanding Emergency Departments (ED) – a 24-hour, full-service, 16-bed facility complete with a helipad. It will also offer 24-hour lab services and comprehensive imaging, including X-ray, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, dexa scan and shelled space for future magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The second floor will house a mix of office-based physician practices, including both primary care and specialists.
“This project is the anchor site for what will ultimately be the preferred healthcare destination for West Side patients,” says Keith Konkoli, BremnerDuke’s Regional Senior Vice President, Midwest. “The healthcare real estate industry has become increasingly sophisticated. What we were able to bring to the table is the capital strength and local real estate expertise necessary to create a successful medical complex of this magnitude.”
The outpatient center is just the first step in the planned five-building, 34-acre Western Ridge development. Plans call for the future addition of two more two-story medical office buildings (MOBs) totaling 123,975 square feet and two additional freestanding buildings totaling 40,957. Good Samaritan plans to retain one of the MOB sites for future growth while the other lots will be sold for complementary development.
Some space is still available for lease in Good Samaritan Medical Center Western Ridge. For more information, please contact Kevin J. Schutte of BremnerDuke at 513.956.4400 or kevin.schutte@dukerealty.com.
