Duke Realty Breaks Ground on Medical Office Expansion for UNC REX Healthcare

HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. — Duke Realty has begun construction on a 45,000-square-foot expansion of the UNC REX Healthcare campus in Holly Springs. Located at 617 Avent Ferry Road, the new three-story structure will be attached to an existing 30,370-square-foot medical office building via a three-story glass atrium. Duke Realty will develop, finance, own and manage the new space, which will be fully leased to UNC REX, a Raleigh-based healthcare system. The design team includes architect BSA LifeStructures and general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie. Duke Realty plans to deliver the new medical office building in December 2017. UNC REX also plans to build a new 50-bed community hospital on the Holly Springs campus beginning next year.
