The two facilities, totaling more than 40,000 square feet, represent a continuation of St. Francis’ primary care strategy to expand its primary care network and physician numbers over the next two to three years. St. Francis serves the needs of a growing population across southern Marion, Johnson, Hancock and Hendricks counties.
Scheduled to open in October 2008, the Franklin Township Medical Office Building (MOB) will encompass 22,000 square feet on the southeast side of Indianapolis at the intersection of Franklin and Southport Roads. The facility will be anchored by a primary care practice, with 16,000 square feet available for additional tenants.
A two-story, 20,000 square foot MOB at the intersection of U.S. 31 and Southport Road is slated to open in December 2008. Anchor tenants include a primary care practice and physical therapy clinic. Another 5,000 square feet of space will be available to accommodate additional tenants.“This is an excellent opportunity to better serve the needs of our patients and make our myriad services available to more people on the south side of Indianapolis,” said St. Francis Chief Financial Officer Jay Brehm. “The facilities will accommodate the growing number of member physicians in the St. Francis Medical Group.”
As their strategic real estate partner, BremnerDuke, a fully-integrated division of Duke Realty Corporation, is continuing a relationship with St. Francis that spans more than six years. During that time BremnerDuke has served as a trusted development, leasing and management partner on an array of projects for St. Francis, one of the largest healthcare systems in Indiana.
“We are pleased to continue serving as a strategic healthcare real estate partner for one of the premier healthcare providers in Indiana,” said Jim Bremner, President of BremnerDuke Healthcare Real Estate. “Together our efforts are making quality healthcare more accessible and convenient for thousands of Hoosiers.”
Included in St. Francis’ primary care strategy is a branding initiative that BremnerDuke initiated in 2006 with the system’s first new 22,000 square foot primary care building in Plainfield, Indiana. The exterior appearance of that facility serves as an architectural standard for the healthcare system’s future real estate developments.
