The Duke Realty-developed facility includes 32 new inpatient beds and six intensive care beds. Project also included renovating 7,569 square feet of the existing hospital.
CINCINNATI and INDIANAPOLIS, March 9, 2016 – TriHealth and Duke Realty, an Indianapolis-based nationwide commercial real estate company, announced that it has completed a 53,512-square-foot expansion of Bethesda Butler Hospital at 3125 Hamilton-Mason Road in Cincinnati.
The expansion adds 32 new inpatient rooms to the current 10, six new intensive care rooms, and a full kitchen and dining room. The project also involved remodeling 7,569 square feet of the existing hospital, adding 883 parking spaces and fortifying the structure for possible future third floor expansion.
With the expansion and the hospital’s existing 37,287 square feet, Bethesda Butler now has a total of 90,788 square feet of space – owned by Duke Realty and 100 percent leased to Bethesda Hospital.
Steve Mombach, TriHealth Vice President of Ambulatory Services, said, “Our goal was to make this a comprehensive, full-service campus. The campus houses our cancer institute, infusion services, cardiac diagnostic services, heart institute, digestive institute, sleep center and orthopedic and physical therapy institute. The expansion enables us to add more services, physicians and staff and treat more patients. Most important, it will make it easier for patients to meet almost all of their healthcare needs in one location.”
“TriHealth and the development team felt it was important to minimize disruptions to Bethesda Butler’s daily operations,” says Keith Konkoli, Duke Realty Executive Vice President, Healthcare. “So we developed the expansion in four phases to ensure the hospital could continue providing its current level of high quality healthcare services. The hospital now will be able to serve even more residents in the growing Cincinnati area.”
The general contractor for the project was Duke Realty and the architect was the Cincinnati office of PFB Architects Inc.
