Popular Post Urbannizer Posted November 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2016 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2016/11/01/nonprofit-secures-land-in-texas-medical-center.html The American Cancer Society has secured land in the Texas Medical Center and plans to break ground next year on the nonprofit’s largest Hope Lodge in the nation. Minnesota-based The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, which was founded by Best Buy founder Dick Schulze, also committed a $10 million one-to-one challenge grant to name Houston's Hope Lodge. The challenge grant will match donations made through Dec. 31, 2017. Atlanta-based American Cancer Society has secured 2.05 acres on Ardmore Street in the Texas Medical Center for the facility. The McNair Group was the land broker for the American Cancer Society. The lodge will provide free lodging for patients with cancer as well as other services, which will save patients more than $3 million every year, according to a statement. The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation American Cancer Society Hope Lodge is set to tentatively break ground in August 2017, with a completion date set for fall 2018. Perkins & Will Inc. is the architect, and Tellepsen is the general contractor. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChannelTwoNews Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/10/04/why-american-cancer-society-s-houston-hope-lodge.html Quote Why American Cancer Society’s Houston Hope Lodge was delayed until now By Cara Smith – Reporter, Houston Business Journal Oct 4, 2018, 1:56pm CDT The American Cancer Society's long-awaited Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge in Houston, which will provide free lodging for cancer patients, will deliver in Houston later than expected. Vertical construction on the $30 million facility is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018, an American Cancer Society spokesperson told the Houston Business Journal. The facility's official groundbreaking took place in October 2017, but since then, only routine site work has taken place, the spokesperson said. The facility is underway on 2.05 acres at 6801 Ardmore St. near the Texas Medical Center. The spokesperson cited permitting issues as the reason for the construction delay. The Houston Hope Lodge should be open to patients in January 2020, the spokesperson said. Houston-based Tellepsen is the general contractor, and Chicago-based Perkins & Will Inc. is the architect. The Houston Hope Lodge's construction, development and initial operational costs are being funded through a $40 million capital campaign that Houston Texans owner Bob McNair and his wife, philanthropist Janice McNair, launched in 2012. The campaign is $3.6 million away from reaching its $40 million goal, the spokesperson said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
