CHALLENGES

PMB faced a number of challenges in the development of this project:

  • Identify and acquire a prominent site in an environment of rapidly escalating land prices.
  • Plan a difficult site including the need to create enough ground floor space to satisfy the hospitals outpatient services requirements including a sophisticated surgery center, imaging equipment and cancer center.
  • Accommodate the building's footprint and adequate parking on an irregularly shaped parcel that was bisected by an earthquake fault.
  • Lease the building to physicians and groups critical to our hospital's off-campus outpatient strategy.

RESULTS

PMB met every challenge posed by the project:

  • PMB identified and purchased one of the most prominent sites in the Santa Clarita Valley after conducting an exhaustive search and performing a comprehensive evaluation of all suitable sites.
  • PMB's in-house architects were able to maximize site efficiency through an innovative site planning solution that created adequate parking while ensuring convenient access.
  • PMB created a site-responsive building footprint that allowed the separation of the surgery center's I-1.2 occupancy type from the remainder of the building's occupancy thereby minimizing construction costs.
  • PMB identified a group practice located in another of its buildings and recruited them to open an additional office in this building. The project opened 100% leased to physicians supporting the hospital's outpatient vision.

SANTA CLARITA

Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Mission Hills, California, realized that 40 percent of its patient base was located 15 miles away in the fast-growing Newhall/Santa Clarita area. To serve its large regional patient base better, Providence decided it would construct an outpatient facility including a large number of hospital diagnostic and treatment services, as well as offices for some of its affiliated physicians. Construction of the three-story, 78,560 square foot outpatient facility began in April 2004 and was completed in 2005.
