Hospital Expansion Brings $26 Million Medical Office Building

NASHVILLE — Centennial Medical Center announced plans to build a 148,000-square-foot, six-story medical office building in Nashville, estimated to cost $26 million. The project, which is part of Centennial’s $143 million expansion project, will add 51 licensed beds, four surgical suites and enhancements to the hospital’s heart and cancer centers. An elevated connector will also link the MOB to Centennial’s main tower and the adjoining women’s hospital.

Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors, with offices in Nashville, will begin building the MOB in January and plan to have it completed by year-end 2011.

Micki Slingerland, chief operating officer at Centennial, attributes Centennial’s continued growth as fueling the need for additional medical office space on their campus, adding that the MOB was already 30 percent pre-leased — in spite of not yet being built.

Jim Smith and Rob Gage of Cassidy Turley Commercial Real Esate are the leasing agents for the new building.
