Expansion project to add nearly half a million square feet to Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center Campus

JLL today announced the firm’s Project and Development Services team has been selected to provide program and project management for construction of a $250 million expansion and renovation of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center in The Woodlands, Texas.

The centerpiece of the expansion will be the new 332,510-square-foot eight-floor South Tower, which will include new registration, waiting and observation areas; six additional operating rooms; endoscopy services; a post-acute care unit; a conference center; cardiopulmonary and catheterization labs; a 36-bed patient care unit; an intensive care unit; and three shelled floors for future patient-bed growth.

“This is an important project for Houston and The Woodlands, and we are proud to be a part of it,” said JLL’s John Roberts, managing director of Project and Development Services in Houston. “Memorial Hermann has provided excellent healthcare to our community for many years, and this expansion of The Woodlands Medical Center will benefit patients for many years to come.”

The project will also include renovation and expansion of other areas of the Campus, including food services; imaging; surgery support; pharmacy services; TIRR Memorial Hermann The Woodlands; orthopedic services; and inpatient care areas. In addition, a 7,416 square-foot bridge will connect the new tower to an adjacent parking garage, which will have an additional two levels constructed upon it, providing 332 free parking spaces. The expansion in total will add nearly half a million square feet to the Campus.

JLL’s James Selmser will serve as program manager for the project, which is set to deliver the completed South Tower in the first quarter 2022, with additional work scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2024.

“With more than a half-million people projected to live within a 10-mile radius of the Campus within the next few years, we are excited to expand the facility to meet the growing needs of the community while also enhancing the patient experience,” said Russ Korcuska, Memorial Hermann Health System’s vice president of capital construction and project management. “We welcome James and the outstanding JLL team, and look forward to a successful outcome.”

Since 1985, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center has been continually recognized for delivering a higher level of care. It is a Level II trauma center and is still the first and only hospital in Montgomery County to be granted Magnet® status for nursing excellence by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Memorial Hermann The Woodlands treats more than 92,000 patients each year through Emergency Center visits and inpatient admissions. Its current capacity of 397 licensed beds could increase to as many as 535 licensed beds and 30 observation beds upon completion of the project.
