Kelsey-Seybold expands its base in Pearland

PEARLAND – Two construction projects for Kelsey-Seybold Clinic are nearing completion in Pearland: a new administrative building and a medical office building that will replace two existing Pearland clinics.

"We are very excited about Kelsey-Seybold choosing Pearland as the location for its new 170,000-sf administrative headquarters, which will be a tremendous asset to the Pearland community," said Matt Buchanan, president of the Pearland Economic Development Corp.

Kelsey-Seybold’s new Pearland Clinic at 2515 Business Center Dr., off Texas 288 and West Broadway, will replace Kelsey-Seybold’s Silverlake and Shadow Ranch clinics when it opens this fall.

Kelsey-Seybold’s administrative building, a four-story facility in Shadow Creek Ranch at Kirby Dr. and Shadow Creek Pkwy., will house approximately 800 employees when it’s complete and will have space for 1,200.

The $36 million building project includes land, construction, equipment and fees. Construction is expected to be completed in June 2013.

The 55,000-sf, three-story clinic, a $17 million project, is a response to growing demand for health care in the area. Construction on the new clinic got underway last fall and is expected to be completed this August. The building will open for business around mid-September.

Once open, the new clinic will have 18 full- and part-time physicians with capacity for 24. Physician specialties will include family medicine, internal medicine, spine, podiatry and pulmonary/critical care.
