EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN OHIO BREAKS GROUND

HAMILTON, OHIO — Duke Realty has broken ground on a 10,500-square-foot emergency department in Hamilton, which is north of Cincinnati. The department will be located near an existing inpatient facility on TriHealth's 5-acre campus. Duke Realty and Butler County Surgical Properties, a partnership of physicians employed by TriHealth, will jointly own the property. Bethesda North Hospital has fully leased the building for 15 years. PFB Architects is the architect for the project and Duke Realty is the general contractor. The building is expected to open in 2013.
