Pacific Medical Buildings completes
St. Joseph Medical Plaza
130,000 SQUARE FOOT MOB IS ON ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL'S CAMPUS
ORANGE, Calif., August 2008 - San Diego-based healthcare real estate developer, Pacific Medical Buildings (PMB), has recently opened a new medical office building (MOB) called St. Joseph Medical Plaza on the campus of St. Joseph Hospital, the largest and one of the busiest hospitals in Orange County.
The seven-story, 130,000 square foot MOB is attached to a new three-story Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment that was being constructed simultaneously. The $57 million project located at 1010 West La Veta Avenue, includes a 1,086-space parking structure.
PMB has partnered with St. Joseph Health System (SJHS) on two other successful developments in California; Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo and St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton. SJHS owns and operates nine not-for-profit hospitals in California.
Physicians who occupy the building invested close to $4.5 million in the single-asset LLC. Along with PMB, the building's investors included two major oncology groups as well as several cancer-related surgical specialists, which helped secure a solid referral base for the attached cancer center.
"This is the third development project we've done for St. Joseph Health System and we were glad to have the opportunity to continue our strong working relationship," says Mark D. Toothacre, PMB President. "This new MOB is going to be a welcome addition to the campus."
