“This project will deliver Class A medical office space to a growing medical node in Willow Park that is serving the explosive population growth and strong demographics,” said Velocis Co-Founder and Partner Mike Lewis.
The site is off I-20 in Willow Park in the center of the dynamic growth corridor between Weatherford and Fort Worth. The price of the land was not disclosed.
The project includes two speculative MOBs: one will be three stories totaling 60,000 square feet and the other will be two stories totaling 40,000 square feet. Construction is slated to start this year with a 2023 targeted completion. JLL’s Ethan Garner, who leads their Healthcare and Life Science practice, will handle leasing for the buildings.
“Our site is adjacent to the Texas Health Willow Park hospital campus, as well as multiple ambulatory surgery centers under construction including GI Alliance and a spine and orthopedic center,” Lewis said.
