Highrise Tower Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 COVID recession puts damper on large construction projects https://www.marketplace.org/2020/11/17/covid19-recession-puts-damper-large-construction-projects/ Quote Before COVID-19 hit and the economy tanked, Houston Methodist Hospital was well along in its plans to expand downtown. Centennial Tower is a $700 million-plus project to serve more patients. “The day that I had to call the architects and the engineers and the general contractor back in March and tell him we’re gonna put this on hold, that was a hard call,” said Sid Sanders, senior vice president for design, construction and real estate at Houston Methodist. “Centennial is over a million square feet,” he said. “It’s going to be somewhere around 30 floors. It will probably peak out with close to 1,000 people on that job site during the peak of construction.” Sanders said he’s hoping to get started on building the Centennial Tower in the first part of 2022 — about a year later than first planned. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Leadership Series: Sid Sanders, Houston Methodist https://info.healthspacesevent.com/blog/leadership-series-sid-sanders-houston-methodist Quote Sid Sanders is no stranger to billion-dollar capital projects. The Senior Vice President for Construction, Facilities, Design & Real Estate Management at Houston Methodist is currently responsible for a $4.5 billion capital construction program. Prior to his role at Methodist, he ran a $7 billion capital program for the UT System. This building had to tie into five other buildings at 15 specific locations on seven different levels, so the construction manager used state-of-the-art scanning technology to pick up millions of data points. Then, we imported those scans into the building information model of Walter Tower to work out the details of how to connect to all those buildings. Now, we’re kicking off Tower 2, which will probably be bigger, and we’ll take with us the lessons we learned from this project. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I like it. One of my doctors in the TMC has an awesome view from her office. The problem is the buildings. So few of them are worth looking at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Agreed that this is certainly an improvement to much of the architecture around the TMC, particularly for the big hospitals. How is this 28 floors? I count at most 22/23 - making an assumption the taller level atop the podium is a single floor.

Popular Post DotCom Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2022/04/25/houston-methodists-centennial-tower.html Houston Methodist kicks off construction of $1.4B tower in Texas Medical Center Apr 25, 2022, 4:01pm CDT Houston Methodist has begun construction work on the $1.4 billion, 26-story Centennial Tower in the Texas Medical Center. Site preparations have begun for a $1.4 billion, 26-story tower that will add hundreds of hospital beds in the Texas Medical Center, Houston Methodist announced April 25. Centennial Tower, as the project is called, will house a new and larger emergency department and enhanced imaging services. It was designed to replace Houston Methodist’s main building at 6565 Fannin St., which ultimately will be demolished along with West Pavilion, according to a news release. When it is completed in 2027, Centennial Tower will have nearly 400 patient beds, including 175 new beds and 207 beds to replace those in Houston Methodist’s main building. In all, the tower will replace existing space for transplant medicine, intermediate care and surgical intensive care. It will also replace seven existing operating rooms, adding the latest technology, and add two additional operating room suites and enhanced radiology services. With 54 beds and additional suites, the new emergency department will be nearly twice the size of Houston Methodist’s existing facility. “The larger, more convenient emergency entrance at John Freeman Boulevard and Bertner Avenue will include pedestrian and ambulance drop-off sites, ambulance bays and easy in-and-out access,” Houston Methodist said. Additionally, the 14th floor of Centennial Tower will have an outdoor rooftop garden where patients and their families can relax while receiving medical care. Houston-based EYP Inc. designed the building, while Vaughn Construction, which is also based in Houston, is serving as general contractor. The new tower will connect to the Paula and Joseph C. “Rusty” Walter III Tower, which opened in 2018 and houses the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute. That tower encompasses nearly 1 million square feet, cost $480 million to develop and includes the capacity for 366 beds and 18 high-tech operating rooms. It houses Houston Methodist’s DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center and the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute. The Paula and Joseph C. “Rusty” Walter III Tower won a Houston Business Journal Landmark Award in the Medical category in 2019. It was named after Paula and Rusty Walter, who donated $101 million in 2017 to Houston Methodist, the largest philanthropic gift the nearly 100-year-old hospital has ever received. “Together, the towers will add an impressive profile to the Texas Medical Center skyline,” Dr. Marc Boom, president and CEO of Houston Methodist, said in the April 25 announcement. “We are building this for our community, showing our commitment to the future of health care at Houston Methodist as we continue leading medicine for decades to come.” 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
