As Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital continues preparing for its grand opening in July, it has broken ground on Medical Office Building 2 and a parking garage on the southeast corner of Hwy. 242 and Interstate 45.

Medical Office Building 2 will be six stories tall and more than 160,000 square feet.

We are very excited about the progress we are making on our campus, said Debbie Sukin, regional senior vice president for Houston Methodist and CEO of Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital. Opening a second medical office building will allow us to recruit medical staff committed to leading medicine and building comprehensive clinical programs

The new medical office building will resemble Medical Office Building 1, which opened last March and is already 100 percent leased. Medical Office Building 1 houses Houston Methodist Breast Care Center and Houston Methodist Weight Management Center, among other specialty services and independent physician offices.

In April, Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine will move into its state-of-the art facility, which will occupy the entire second floor of Medical Office Building 1 and include physician offices, physical therapy and rehabilitation space.

Both medical office buildings will be connected to the hospital via a third level bridge and skywalk system, as will the parking garage, which will be located between the two MOBs. The garage will have seven levels and spaces for 785 cars.

The two new projects are scheduled for completion in early 2018.

Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital willhave four medical office buildings and three parking garages, according to its master plan.
