Howard Hughes Bags $14M In Medical Office Sale To Houston Methodist

Howard Hughes Holdings offloaded Creekside Park's first medical office, which it delivered last year.

According to The Woodlands-based developer's quarterly SEC report, it sold the Creekside Park Medical Plaza, at 26424 Strake Drive, for $14 million. Houston Methodist hospital system bought the two-story, 32,600-square-foot Class A medical office this month, property records show.

Houston Methodist plans to open a multi-specialty clinic akin to its Comprehensive Care Center in Pearland. As many as 10 providers are expected to move to the Creekside Park Medical Plaza, including primary care, orthopedic services, physical therapy and occupational therapy providers. It could open as soon as the first quarter of next year.

The property was sold in shell condition, and Methodist has the interior under construction, said Pincecroft Realty's TJ Fry, the broker attached to the project.

Construction started on the Creekside Park Medical Plaza in early 2022, and it was completed last spring. It is expected to be the first medical office in Creekside Park, one of the Woodlands' 10 villages. Every other village in the Woodlands has at least one medical office.

In Houston, the cost of renting medical office spaces has gone up by about 60 basis points compared to last year, averaging $30.33 per square foot per year, according to Transwestern. Newer offices are charging higher prices because of strong demand even before they open.

The Woodlands is emerging as its own burgeoning healthcare hub in Greater Houston's Northwest corridor. St. Luke's Hospital, Memorial Hermann and Texas Children's Hospital all have presences there.

Two medical offices totaling more than 300,000 square feet are under construction in The Woodlands: the Kelsey Seybold Springwoods Village Campus, at 2340 North Grand Parkway, and Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Plaza 5 at 9250 Pinecroft Drive.

Nearly one-third of The Woodlands' workforce is employed in the healthcare industry, making it the leading job sector for the fifth year in a row, according to The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership.Houston Methodist has been busy cementing its footprint across the metro's burgeoning medical hubs. In January, Houston Methodist leased 75,800 square feet in the Helix Park campus' Dynamic One life science building, at 1840 Dynamic Way.

Avera Announces Sioux Falls Expansion, Largest In Its History

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - On Wednesday, Avera Health officials announced plans for a $245 million expansion in Sioux Falls that will mark the largest building project the health system has ever conducted.

Avera announced plans to build a six-story tower addition to Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center and a three-story building on the Avera on Louise Health Campus. Combined, the projects will also be the largest expansion of hospital patient care space in Sioux Falls' history at 350,000 square feet.

The tower will create a new main entrance for Avera McKennan as well as a focused area for women's and children's hospital services. Adding a total of 158 beds, the project will accommodate the current and future growth of Sioux Falls and the increased demand for medical services.

The new tower will allow Avera to create dedicated and centralized space for women's and children's acute care and expand areas for the unique hospital needs these two populations require: labor and delivery, postpartum care, newborn nursery, neonatal intensive care unit, pediatric hospital care and pediatric intensive care.

At the Avera on Louise Health campus, Avera will build a three-story building for digestive health services. Gastroenterology services are currently in the Avera Specialty Hospital and the attached medical building. Space vacated within the Avera Specialty Hospital by digestive health services will be converted to space for Avera's growing orthopedic services.

In total, this project and additional moves will allow Avera McKennan to expand and enhance major services including women's and children's, digestive health, orthopedics, surgery, cancer care and more.

Plaza 3 on the Avera McKennan campus will be removed to make room for this project. It's currently home to the Avera Transplant Institute. These services, including the dialysis center, will be moved to another location yet to be announced.

Construction is expected to begin in mid to late summer at both campuses. The estimated completion date is early 2026 for the Avera on Louise project, and early 2027 for the main hospital campus project. Learn more details about this project at //Avera.Org/McKennanFuture.
