Feature Story: 2015 HREI Insights Awards Finalists: Best Renovated/Repurposed

HoagHoag Health Center, Huntington Beach, Calif.

Developer: Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian

Faced with changes in the patient care model and growing demand for local healthcare services, Hoag Memorial needed to expand and remodel its existing Huntington Beach Health Center to provide patients with streamlined access to integrated services. The development team navigated the remodeling challenge by completing the project in multiple phases. First, it designed and built a freestanding 55,500 square foot MOB with two sizes of collaborative care modules. Next, it renovated 16,000 square feet of the existing 52,000 square foot clinic, eventually uniting the two buildings into one LEED Silver certified facility.

Developer: Meridian

Petaluma Health Center (PHC) needed to satisfy growing demand for services in an area north of its existing facility in Petaluma, north of San Francisco. But PHC needed its new location to be built at a low cost, allowing it to maintain its fiscal discipline. Meridian identified a half-vacant, 70,000 square foot general office building in Rohnert Park as a prime opportunity to repurpose half of the space for PHC. The company purchased the building for just more than $100 per square foot and upgraded the second floor for PHC; at the same time, it kept the ground-floor fully operational for Kaiser Permanente.

D1D1 Sports Training & Therapy, Winston-Salem, N.C.

Developer: Sports Med Properties LLC

In searching Winston-Salem for a perfect location, Sports Med Properties (SMP) found a rundown warehouse in the heart of downtown that was riddled by break-ins and vandalism. But the developer saw the building for what it could be: a first-class athletics training facility that would also house health and wellness services. The SMP team added two basketball courts for professional basketball player Chris Paul’s CP3 camp. It also brought in nationally recognized D1 Sports Training and Wake Forest Baptist’s orthopedic services as tenants. By renovating the building at such a low cost, SMP can also offer below-market rents.

Developer: Coordinated Health

For some time, Pennsylvania-based Coordinated Health (CH), a privately held, physician-owned hospital network in the eastern part of the state, noticed that residents in Warren County, N.J., lacked access to high-quality services. Most local residents had to travel farther into New Jersey or to New York City to receive top-level care. To better serve local patients, CH consolidated its two local clinics in the area in a vacant 23,085 square foot former manufacturing facility on a 10-acre site. CH renovated the building into what is now a busy MOB. If approved, a second phase would add an ambulatory surgery center (ASC).

SimonePurchase Professional Park, Purchase, N.Y.

Developer: Simone Healthcare Development/Fareri Associates LP

Although WESTMED Medical Group had eight locations in Westchester County, N.Y., and Fairfield County, Conn., it saw an opportunity grow in central Westchester. Local residents, the group realized, would rather receive high-quality care close to home than have to travel into New York City. Meanwhile, Simone Development and Fareri Associates had been at work rebranding a former office campus in the area as the Purchase Professional Park medical campus. The result was the new $22 million, four-story, 85,000 square foot, 3030 Westchester Avenue MOB, which is fully leased to WESTMED, as well as on-site diagnostic services, providing “one-stop shopping” for patients.
