PLAINSBORO, NJ-Trammell Crow Co. has been selected to develop the new 146,971-square-foot Medical Arts Pavilion on the campus of Princeton HealthCare System’s $442-million University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. The medical office building will be physically connected to the new hospital structure and is expected to break ground in October 2010 and be completed in May 2012. The project is owned by Partners Health Trust Inc., a joint venture of Trammell Crow Co. and a public pension fund advised by Kennedy Associates.

“Our goal is to provide the Hospital and physicians with high quality space in which to provide outpatient care to patients," says Jeffrey Goggins, senior managing director with Trammell Crow. "In keeping with the design of the new hospital, we plan to develop this building to operate efficiently and with sustainable elements to create a better environment for our physician tenants and visitors to the building.”

The University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro will be a replacement hospital for the existing University Medical Center at Princeton located in Princeton’s Downtown area. The five-story Pavilion will be designed to integrate into the hospital with physical connections at four locations including the hospital’s main north entry, emergency department and operating suites.
