ESCANABA, MI-Duke Realty has broken ground on a 43,145-square-foot, $11 million medical office building here. The building is pre-leased by Marquette General Health System.
The two-story building will be on a 5.5-acre site at 710 S. Lincoln Rd. The property will replace the health care system’s smaller Doctor’s Park building near Seventh Avenue, and is designed to expand services for Delta County residents. The new development is likely one of the few new projects in the state, and one of only a handful in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, of which the west side is technically much closer to Green Bay, WI and even Minneapolis than it is to Detroit.
Keith Konkoli, an SVP with Duke, tells GlobeSt.com that the building will complement the nearby new OSF St. Francis Hospital along US Highway 41. “Marquette wanted to bring more services into the market in its partnership with OSF,” Konkoli says. “It’s true that health care development is doing well everywhere, and for this project the stars aligned for the Marquette system to grow.”
Duke is developing, financing and managing the property, and will also own the site, leasing it to the system when it opens in fall 2012. The building will house laboratory, home infusion, oncology, primary care, specialty care, imaging, physical therapy and occupational medicine, as well as a blood donor center and administrative offices.
