Construction has reached the top floor of a new six-storey medical office building for Broward Health in South Florida, with the project expected to be completed in 2027.
DPR Construction recently marked the topping out of the 127,033-square-foot facility, which will bring cardiovascular, neuroscience and orthopedic services together in one location.
The building is one of Broward Health’s first major new construction projects in almost 30 years and is intended to expand access to specialty care as the region’s population grows.
With the structural work complete, the construction team is preparing to install prefabricated panels. DPR said the approach is expected to achieve building dry-in approximately two months earlier than traditional construction methods.
Designed by The Beck Group in collaboration with DMZ Architects, the six-storey building will include 75 exam rooms, with infrastructure to accommodate an expansion to 123 rooms as demand increases.
In addition to cardiovascular, neuroscience and orthopedic care, the facility will house other specialty clinics and affiliated physician practices.
Bringing outpatient specialty services together with inpatient care is intended to improve clinical coordination and provide patients with more convenient access to services.
