Memorial Hermann underway on $168M Cypress campus

CYPRESS – Memorial Hermann Health System has broken ground on its $168 million full-service medical campus. It is located on a 32-acre site at the northeast side of Hwy. 290 and the Grand Pkwy., between Mason Rd. and Mueschke Rd.

The first phase includes a six story, 125,000-sf medical office building with a 40,000-sf Convenient Care Center.

Phase two involves an 80-bed hospital. Besides the eight operating rooms, the hospital is set to house a 16-bed intensive care unit, neonatal intensive care unit, cardiac catheterization lab, with room to accommodate future growth.

Plans also include Life Flight helipad, an air ambulance service who has 15 minutes access to any location within a 150-mile radius of Houston.

The Convenient Care Center is set to open early 2016, and the hospital is expected to be completed by 2017.

As the area continues to grow, the campus has room for two additional medical office buildings and two additional patient bed towers.

The Cypress campus is said to be designed with a “forward-looking focus” taking into consideration the area’s current population of more than 355,000 residents and an expected growth of nearly 100,000 more people over the next decade.
