HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Medistar
Corporation ("Medistar") announced today that it has begun
development of a major medical tower, located at 6700 Main Street,
the home of the Best Western hotel, which will soon be demolished.
The site is strategically positioned immediately adjacent to the
Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world with
50 million square feet of buildings on 1,345 acres and supporting
10 million patient encounters annually. Medistar's modern Class A
medical tower will be 550,000 square feet, featuring an expanded
floorplate that can support the requirements of a major medical
destination, oversized parking garage and retail at ground
level.
Connected by sky bridges to Medistar's new 22-story
InterContinental® Houston Medical Center hotel and 35-story
LATITUDE Med Center luxury apartment tower for the convenience of
patients and others, the medical tower has been designed for a
hospital, doctor offices, ancillary services as well as other uses
of healthcare companies.
The hotel and apartment project includes 1.2 million square feet
of upscale hospitality and residential solutions to meet the
growing market demand of the Texas Medical Center – which annually
attracts a tremendously high volume of domestic and international
patients – as well as for the needs of the entire community.
Planning and design for the new medical tower is the result of
Medistar's decades-long relationships in the Middle East and Asia, and also with doctors and other
healthcare providers in the Texas Medical Center. The residential
and hospitality aspects of the project were designed to complement
each other in meeting the needs of the diverse, vibrant Texas
Medical Center community. This new medical tower further enhances
the project with unparalleled walkable convenience to the Texas
Medical Center, privacy and coordination of care – especially
important to patients and families from across the U.S. and abroad.
Its location is one block from the MetroRail transit station,
providing further convenience and accessibility.
Medistar has made the patient and provider experience the focal
point of this landmark development. Designed to the quality
standards of today's most modern hospitals, the medical tower
features robust, secure technologies that interact with QR code
wearable cards to enhance patient safety, security, clinical
accuracy and operational efficiency. With the hotel and apartments,
the new medical tower provides a unique solution for the delivery
of high-quality, efficient and coordinated outpatient and home
health services.
In addition to serving patient-guests and their families, this
three-building complex meets the diverse, growing and continually
evolving needs of the global health science industry, including
universities, healthcare systems, pharmaceutical companies,
genomics companies, medical equipment manufacturers, medical device
companies, physicians, executives, researchers, scientists, medical
students, residents, life sciences professionals, and healthcare
and life science associations from the U.S. and abroad.
Medistar is in active discussions about the new medical tower
with major healthcare companies seeking to create or expand their
presence in the Texas Medical Center.
