Work Begins on 74,000-SF Medical Center Addition

AUSTIN-Work has ramped up on the 74,000-sf second phase of the Westlake Medical Center at 5858 Bee Cave Rd. in Austin’s southwest submarket. When it’s ready for occupancy in April 2004, the four-building complex will join the project’s 65,000-sf first phase.

Phase 2 is about 87% leased, says Rip Miller, head of Miller Consulting, the company developing the project. The biggest tenant will be the Westlake Surgical Hospital, a full-service medical facility. Miller says the 39,000-sf hospital is to have 16 to 20 beds plus intensive care facilities.

The hospital acts like a magnet for the center, drawing medical services to it, says Norman Gelfand of the Gelfand Group. Gelfand, who represents investors and tenants in real estate transactions, does a lot of his business with medical offices. “The surgery center really helps serve those people that need hospital facilities,” he tells GlobeSt.com.
