Charlotte-based Atrium Health is seeking to build its first hospital in Metro Atlanta.

Atrium is proposing to build an acute care general teaching hospital on a 40-acre campus in Fulton County, according to a filing with the Georgia Department of Community Health, first reported by Axios.

The proposed facility would help provide care to underserved patients who previously went to WellStar Atlanta Medical Center and its affiliate WellStar AMC South, which both closed in 2022, according to the filing.

The hospital would include an emergency department and could provide other services, such as perinatal and neonatal care, diagnostic imaging and surgeries. It would start out with 50 beds and be affiliated with the Morehouse School of Medicine, Axios reported.

Atrium, which is part of Advocate Health, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The proposed hospital would anchor a mixed-use campus at 675 Metropolitan Parkway SW that is intended to include office, retail, residential and medical facilities. It would be located about half a mile from Morehouse School of Medicine’s main campus.

Atrium bought the 40-acre campus near the West End MARTA Station in 2024. It hadn’t previously revealed its plans for the land — home to MET Atlanta, a 1.1M SF historic warehouse — since the purchase. But one city council member predicted at the time that it would mean a new hospital for Atlanta.

In May, city officials unveiled that Atlanta was teaming up with Morehouse and a nonprofit health system to build an $800M hospital, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported. The officials didn’t disclose the nonprofit or where the hospital would be located. 

Atrium Health has two other health facilities in Georgia: Atrium Health Navicent in Macon and Atrium Health Floyd in Rome, according to Atlanta News First.

McCarthy Building Cos. completed CommonSpirit – Memorial Hospital, a 134,000-square-foot hospital located in Ringgold, a city in Catoosa County along the Georgia-Tennessee border. The $90 million project marks the first new hospital to be delivered to the community in seven decades. Hoefer Welker served as the design-build architect.

The 64-bed inpatient hospital replaces a 70-year-old medical and connects to the existing physician office building, serving as an anchor for its medical campus. 

The hospital features an emergency department with critical care services, imaging services, operating rooms, a GI department, a pharmacy, a modernized kitchen and server, a laboratory and a sterile processing department, as well as a chapel provided by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. The facility also houses eight ICU rooms and 56 medical and surgical rooms, including five isolation rooms. The site also houses the Rees Skillern Cancer Institute and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Cancer Center.

When we last reported on growth plans in Argyle, H-E-B and Baylor, Scott & White had not received government approval to build in the Heritage development. Now, things are firmed up. The Argyle Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for nearly 124 acres of the Heritage development, which will include an H-E-B grocery store and Baylor Scott & White wellness campus. It will be located on the southwest corner of I-35W and Robson Ranch Road.

Phase one will include a 100,000-square-foot grocery store with gas pumps, 44,000 square feet of medical office space and 36,000 square feet of retail space. Five phases are being planned.

Community Impact reports that the wellness campus proposal includes retail, fitness and medical spaces. The medical hospital is proposed to be six stories, and the medical campus may include four-story buildings. The rest of the proposed development would be dedicated to commercial retail and not exceed 50 feet in height.

It used to take 45 minutes for citizens of Celina to get to the nearest Dallas hospital. That will change next month. Celina’s first hospital is expected to open before the end of March. Once open, the hospital will immediately begin providing emergency and critical care services.

Methodist Celina Medical Center is a 46-acre, $237 million project located at the corner of Dallas Parkway and FM 428. It is roughly three miles from Celina’s downtown square.

The medical center will have 200,000 square feet under roof. In addition, there will be a 40,000-square-foot medical office building with spaces from 2,642 to 7,288 square feet.

Offerings include 30 medical-surgical beds, eight intensive care unit beds, two procedure rooms, one catheterization lab and three operating rooms equipped with a da Vinci surgical robot. The hospital will have 51 beds and can expand to over 100. The hospital will have 200 employees.

Northside Hospital purchased Glenridge Point, a 184,912-square-foot office complex in Sandy Springs, Ga. Richmond Honan Development & Acquisitions sold the two-building property for $14.2 million.

Colliers Tom Davenport and Dany Koe worked on behalf of the receiver, B. Riley Advisory Services.

Commercial Edge reports the office complex was last traded in 2018 when Richmond Honan acquired it for $44.5 million in a portfolio transaction from Pope & Land Enterprises. Located at 100 and 200 Glenridge Point Parkway, the property is at the intersection of Interstate 285 and Georgia Highway 400. The office complex is near the Pill Hill medical hub and some 14 miles from downtown Atlanta.

Completed in 1970 on 3.6 acres, the five-story Glenridge Point underwent renovations between 1999 and 2016. Its amenities include an outdoor space with seating and EV parking spots. 

The tenant roster includes eVestment and Keller Williams Realty First Atlanta.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano is spending $343 million on a an 8-story tower and 696 parking spaces. The planned work is piggy-backing on some just completed construction on the current hospital.

Texas Health Plano is located at 6200 W. Parker Road.  Although work on the garage finished this month, work on the tower won’t begin until summer 2025. An opening is planned for fall 2028. When completed, the building will increase the hospital’s capacity from 230 beds to 400.  

The planned work is piggy-backing on some recently finished construction on the current hospital. Construction included on an operating room for neuroscience and heart and vascular procedures, including endovascular aneurysm repair and blood clot removal from arteries. Hospital officials also recently completed an expansion of its neonatal intensive care unit as well. The expansion added seven hotel-style rooms for families of infants receiving care. 

In addition to the Plano expansion, the company recently acquired 21 acres of land in Celina at the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and the Collin County Outer Loop.

HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress will soon get a new $100 million patient tower. Construction is already underway and will be completed in spring 2026. The project will bring the hospital’s total licensed bed count to 216.

The new addition to the hospital’s campus will include an expanded Central Sterile Processing Department, a 22-bed Acute Rehabilitation Unit, a 31-bed Medical Surgical Unit, and expanded parking facilities.

HCA Healthcare has reinvested over $200 million in the community since acquiring the hospital in 2018.

Meanwhile, Healthcare Realty is modernizing nearly 300,000 square feet of medical office space in the two professional buildings located on campus.

It is one of three major hospital projects ongoing along Hwy. 290 in Cypress. Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital announced plans for a $277.5 million expansion project in July. Additionally, the construction of Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital is expected to be completed in the coming months.

Novant Health has filed an application with a North Carolina agency to build a hospital in Wake County, a region that already has three well-established health systems: Duke Health, UNC Health and WakeMed.

To be called Novant Health Knightdale Medical Center, the center would consist of 36 licensed acute care beds, 12 unlicensed observation beds and one operating room. The request leaves room for the company to add to the facility at a later date. Knightdale is just east of Raleigh.

The proposed capital expenditure for this project is about $287 million, which includes land and site costs. Novant intends to buy a 35-acre property for the facility near the interchange of Hodge Road and I-87. The Triangle Business Journal reports If Novant’s application is approved, the health system would develop other services around the facility, such as a medical office building and potentially imaging and pharmacy services.

Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist has been greenlighted for a $262.8 million Greensboro Medical Center on Horse Pen Creek Road. It took a year and a half, but the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation finally posted its approval of Atrium’s Health’s application last week. The hospital was originally slated to open in July 2026, but the opening date is now January 2029. The 36-bed hospital will be located at 2909 Horse Pen Creek Road.

The Charlotte Business Journal reports AHWFB’s Greensboro Medical Center will feature 20 emergency department bays, 12 observation beds, two operating rooms, two procedure rooms, two CT scanners, one fixed MRI scanner and other radiology and imaging equipment.

The Greensboro Medical Center will have 152 full-time-equivalent employees at full capacity.

AHWFB is also planning to build a $30 million ambulatory surgery center at the same Horse Pen Creek site.

McCarthy Building Companies, a Missouri-based construction firm, recently marked a significant milestone for the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Campus Renewal project in St. Louis with the Plaza West Tower topping-out ceremony. The ceremony celebrated the installation of the final steel beam on the new 16-story building and world-class healthcare facility.

The work is part of BJC HealthCare’s Campus Renewal Project, a long-term, $1 billion renewal of its Washington University Medical Campus. The Plaza West Tower is expected to open in the fall of 2025.

The 660,000-square-foot facility will include seven floors with 224 private inpatient rooms and 32 rooms for patients with heart and vascular illnesses. The project team includes architect CannonDesign, consulting engineer BR+A, structural engineer Thornton Tomasetti, civil engineer Castle Contracting and landscape designer DTLS.

Plaza West Tower is the final project currently planned for BJC’s Campus Renewal, following other projects including the new Parkview Tower and St. Louis Children’s Hospital expansion.
