Proposed medical office to capitalize on Cumberland County health care growth
Proposed medical office to capitalize on Cumberland County health care growth
The developer of a Cumberland County technology park that is home to one hospital and adjacent to another, plans to build a medical office nearby to capitalize on the area’s growing health care industry.
Boca Raton, Florida-based Elysian Partners, will build a 2-story, 40,000-square-foot medical office near UPMC Pinnacle West Shore and Penn State Health‘s incoming Hampden Medical Center. The two hospitals are both in the midst of major construction projects.
Penn State Health broke ground on the Hampden Medical Center this year and plans to open the 108-bed hospital in 2021. UPMC Pinnacle is currently expanding its 102-bed West Shore hospital with additional floors and 58 new beds, to be completed by fall of next year.
Elysian Partners is the developer of Cumberland Tech Park in Hampden Township, which houses UPMC Pinnacle West Shore, as well as the Patriot-News Company, The Crossings at West Shore and more.
Hampden Medical Center is being build adjacent to the park.
Recognizing the growth the two hospitals are experiencing, Kevin Brown, a partner with Elysian, said the developer saw an opportunity to provide office space for other medical care providers interested in the township.
“When you have two hospitals approximate to your property, there will be demand for other medical uses and that is what we are responding to,” he said.
Elysian expects to finish the project by 2021. When completed, the new office building will be 2-stories tall with 20,000 square feet of space on each floor.
The building could hold as many as eight different practices depending on the space needed by the buyer or lessee, said Brown.
