Baylor Scott & White Health is putting up an office building on Elm Street near Baylor University Medical Center, consolidating the company’s five leases. The new building should be up by fall 2020, according to a statement from the system.
That statement:
Plans are underway to develop a new workspace that will bring together Baylor Scott & White Health’s five North Texas offices under one roof. The building will be constructed on the south side of Landry Park near Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.
Although we are in the early stages of this project, we believe this move will not only produce significant cost savings as we consolidate our five office leases, but will also provide new opportunities for our colleagues to work more collaboratively and deliver greater service to our patients and health plan members. During construction, we are committed to ensuring minimal disruption to traffic in the area, especially as it pertains to our patients and colleagues. We anticipate that construction will be completed by the Fall of 2020.
It’ll be 300,000 square feet, plus a parking garage, and building permits value the project at more than $70 million, the Dallas Business Journal and Dallas Morning News report.
The health system has offices in Bryan Tower downtown and houses its top executives at a building on Crutcher street, near BUMC. A spokesperson didn’t answer questions about the location of the other North Texas offices that will be consolidated into the new space.
Baylor Scott & White Health is the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas, encompassing 48 hospitals and north of 1,000 access points.
