wernicke Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It's a very nice facility... it will be interesting to see who will buy it from the dysfunctional BCM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house567 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 For a month now, I have seen workers digging, adding more light poles, and other stuff that is hidden from view. Does anyone have an update since BCM has a new president? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have an update since BCM has a new president? We've heard that it is costing Baylor close to $100,000.00 per month, just to maintain it as is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It would be nice if they kept their lights off! I have noticed that the entire building has lights on all night long.Turning their lights off would save them some money, but I'm sure that there must be a logical explanation for keeping the lights on. Maybe they are required by the city while construction continues? Otherwise, I can't explain why they would keep them on.We've heard that it is costing Baylor close to $100,000.00 per month, just to maintain it as is.

strickn Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The latest alumni newsletter had a feature on two new alumni members of BCM's board, and they were both talking like outpatient care is the future of treatment (as though Baylor is now not planning to build out the translational-medicine bench-to-bedside hospital once planned). If Baylor begins going head to head with the private physicians, it hasn't been good for town-gown relations anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 http://www.bisnow.com/commercial-real-estate/houston/708-the-deal-sheet/ DEVELOPMENT Ken Hoge Baylor College of Medicine's unfinished hospital is getting new life. Construction stalled in '09, but now Baylor and St. Luke's (now owned by Catholic Health Initiative) are partnering to complete and operate the property, which will be called Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center and will open next year. (Above, the team at the announcement ceremony.) The property sits at Old Spanish Trail and Cambridge on Baylor's 35-acre McNair Campus and will eventually replace St. Luke's Hospital on Bertner Avenue. Baylor's partnership with CHI St. Luke's is unique; medical schools usually affiliate with systems but aren't part owners with them. The exterior of Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center (pictured) is already complete, and some of the interior is as well. The first phase of its build-out will be a 250-bed inpatient facility opening spring 2015. A second phase, adding 400 beds, will complete in 2018. The partnership will also develop a new cardiovascular center and comprehensive cancer center on the campus. Catholic Health Initiatives has not decided the fate of the current St. Luke's Hospital building, but has announced that the property, which was built in 1954, would be expensive to renovate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber2 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It would not be surprising for Texas Children's Hospital to acquire the adjoining St. Lukes properties on Bates and Bertner. They are already attached, sharing infastructure, heating, cooling and other life safety systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDierker Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Was just talking about this site a couple days ago.the next day there's an article on HBJ. second tower is planned. not sure if this is new info. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/2014/10/exclusive-first-look-at-the-baylor-college-of.htmlThe 1.2 million-square-foot facility is in various stages of completion, renovation and construction, with the next wave of openings slated for January.

Two of the permits list hospital build-outs valued at $8 million and $4 million, and the third permit is for a hospital remodel, valued at $4 million.The new McNair campus hospital is a big focus for the Baylor College of Medicine and CHI St. Luke's. The campus opened in January, and during a tour in October, Charles Gianfagna, the commissioning officer for the master facility plan, had said there were plans to build a second patient tower, as well as a medical office building possibly as early as November of this year.It will become the primary hospital for the Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, and will eventually replace CHI St. Luke's hospital in the TMC, officials have told the HBJ. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 $16 million is a pretty minor commitment. We'll have to see if they get to that second patient tower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have no idea exactly how the entire permitting office works, but does the "$16 million worth of permits" really correlate to a $16 million project? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 $16 million is a pretty minor commitment. We'll have to see if they get to that second patient tower.The permits for $16 million are just for remodeling and build outs on the current buildings on site. The second tower and office building will have their own separate permits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I was born at St Lukes. Will they tear it down and build something else?The HBJ article referred to the tower as outdated. It doesn't sound good. I spent the last new years eve with my wife at St. Luke's watching fireworks in the distance while she and the children slept. It is painful to think of its demise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 These are very sleek buildings that, unlike the old St. Luke's, are designed with an eye to marketing and competition rather than practicality. The cost is ultimately borne by our health insurance premiums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Plans for the existing medical center facilities are still being discussed. "We're considering all of our options with it and have a lot of ideas on the table," Keathley said. "In the next couple of months our plans will become much more clear."http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Work-proceeds-on-massive-health-care-campus-at-TMC-6706134.php#photo-9128060 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
