DUKE REALTY BREAKS GROUND ON MEDICAL OFFICE IN WEST CHESTER

WEST CHESTER, OHIO — TriHealth and Duke Realty have broken ground on the 48,910-square-foot Group Health Medical Office – West Chester in suburban Cincinnati. Indianapolis-based Duke Realty will develop, own and manage the facility, located at 8040 Princeton Glendale Road in West Chester, about 20 miles north of Cincinnati. The design of the facility will be based on a medical home model, which includes practices and services that are in close proximity and shared spaces such as check-in/check-out and administration. The design is intended to minimize the amount of time patients need to move around the facility for care, according to Jerry Oliphant, executive vice president and COO of Cincinnati-based TriHealth. GBBN Architects is designing the facility. The medical office building development is slated for completion by September 2014.
