Highrise Tower Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Texas Children's to build $450M hospital in Austin https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2020/05/20/texas-childrens-build-first-austin-hospital.html Texas Children's Hospital is making its biggest push yet into the Austin area. The Houston-based nonprofit health system, a nationally recognized provider of pediatric and maternal-fetal care, plans to build a $450 million freestanding children's hospital in northwest Austin, off North Lake Creek Parkway not far from Lakeline Mall. The May 20 announcement comes a little more than two years after Texas Children's opened its first location in Austin. The 48-bed, 360,000-square-foot children's hospital is set to open in the fourth quarter of 2023. It will have neonatal intensive care, pediatric intensive care, operating rooms, an epilepsy monitoring unit, a sleep center, an emergency center, diagnostic imaging, acute care, an on-site Texas Children's Urgent Care location, and labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum care. Pediatric subspecialties that will be offered include heart, cancer, brain, lung, gastroenterology and rheumatology care. The facility is expected to bring 400 jobs to the Austin area. There is also room at the site to expand. McCarthy Building Companies Inc. is the general contractor for the new hospital, and Page is the architecture firm. Both have offices in Houston and Austin. Texas Children's said the hospital will be part of the Austin Green Building Council's program for sustainable construction. The hospital is also expected to have about 1,200 free parking spaces. The announcement comes just a couple of weeks after Ascension Texas announced plans to build a second Dell Children's hospital: a 36-bed, $191 million facility that is part of a broader expansion push in the region. The new Dell Children's is expected to rise on 34 acres along Avery Ranch Boulevard off the 183A toll road. That is less than 2 miles from the new Texas Children's Hospital at North Lake Creek and the State Highway 45 toll road. The two new facilities join two existing children's care hubs in the area: Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, a 203-bed hospital in the Mueller development, and St. David’s Children’s Hospital, a 57-bed wing inside St. David's North Austin Medical Center in North Austin at Parmer Lane and MoPac Expressway. Texas Children's purchased the land in Presidio in December for an undisclosed amount. At the same time, the nonprofit purchased land in South Austin off Puryear Road at I-35, according to Community Impact. Plans for the South Austin site have not been announced yet.
