MCSHANE ADVANCES CONSTRUCTION FOR MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING

RICHMOND, TEXAS — The Healthcare Division of McShane Development Co. is advancing construction for OakBend Doctors Center — Grand Parkway, a medical office building located in Richmond. The project consists of a two-story, 60,000-square-foot building situated on Grand Parkway, between Morton Road and Longmeadow Farms Parkway. The Class A facility will provide office space convenient to both OakBend Medical Center campuses, one of which is currently under construction. McShane has already secured leases for approximately 50 percent of the space. Physician group OakBend Medical Group will occupy 2,500 square feet; PLEX will lease 7,200 square feet for a sports medicine and physical therapy center; Texas Sports Medicine will lease 7,400 square feet for an ambulatory surgery center; OakBend Medical Imaging will lease 3,000 square feet for a radiology center; and the Center for Women’s Health will lease 3,000 square feet that will contain an on-site pharmacy and a 24-hour urgent care clinic. The Houston office of Cadence McShane Construction Co. is providing design-build services for OakBend Doctors Center, with Denver-based Marasco & Associates providing conceptual design and space planning services, and Houston-based Seeberger + Associates serving as architect of record. Completion for the project is slate for late 2009. McShane is also developing a new on-campus medical office facility adjacent to OakBend’s new hospital campus, also in Richmond.
