A&P Celebrates Topping Out of Forest Park Medical Center Southlake Medical Office Building

Saturday, April 5th, 2014


Richardson, TX (PRWEB) March 20, 2014

On Wednesday morning, March 19, a Topping Out Ceremony was held at the site of the new Forest Park Medical Center Southlake Medical Office Building, signifying that the final height of the new building has been reached.

The project, developed by LandPlan Development and Neal Richards Group, is situated on a 2.645 acre site, adjoining the existing Forest Park Medical Center in Southlake.

The medical office building is a 4-story, 88,159 square foot building, including a grand entrance atrium, elevator core, and shell space for future clinic tenants. The new medical office building was designed by GSR Andrade to maximize the aesthetic balance of the campus by utilizing a stone veneer which matches the existing hospitals exterior finish (see attached rendering).

A two-story enclosed connector joins the new MOB with the existing Forest Park Medical Center Southlake hospital, completed by Adolfson & Peterson (A&P) in April 2013.

LandPlan Developments Director Reed Williams helped to provide the context for this event: Everything that we build here today is a lasting monument to healing that is going to touch and impact the lives of patients for generations to come. This isnt a 10 year or 20 year building; this is a 50 or 100 year building thats made to last.

With the construction of the Southlake MOB facility, A&P proudly continues its strong partnership with Forest Park Medical Center, LandPlan Development Corporation, and Neal Richards Group. Over the past six years, A&P has partnered with Forest Park Medical Center on multiple projects including Forest Park Medical Center Dallas, Forest Park Medical Center Southlake and Forest Park Medical Center Austin. In all, A&P has partnered with FPMC to build nearly one million square feet of hospitals and medical office space throughout Texas.

The FPMC Southlake MOB project is scheduled to be completed in August of 2014.
