Campbell Clinic and Rendina Announce Plans for Expansion

Posted on by Brian Butler

Germantown, Tennessee

Campbell Clinic has retained Rendina Healthcare Real Estate to be its representative in connection with the design, development and construction of a new facility on the clinic’s existing Germantown campus. Rendina is a national, full-service developer of healthcare real estate headquartered in Jupiter, Fla.

Preliminary plans call for the construction of a new four-story medical office building on a vacant 5-acre parcel immediately adjacent to the clinic’s current location at 1400 S. Germantown Road. The clinic purchased the property in 1992 and held it in reserve for future expansion.

The new facility is slated to include outpatient orthopaedic clinical space, expanded physical therapy and imaging suites and an ambulatory surgery center with eight operating rooms. An option to lease a portion of the new building to third-party tenants upon completion is also under development.

The facility will add approximately 120,000 square feet of new space to the Germantown campus at a cost expected to be near $30 million. The City of Germantown Planning Commission has approved the preliminary and final site plans.

In the coming months, Campbell Clinic will focus on finalizing building plans, completing the development team, seeking financing commitments, and gaining final requisite approvals from the City of Germantown and Shelby County in anticipation of commencing construction in mid-2018.

The clinic has partnered with Cushman & Wakefield | Commercial Advisors for the last several years in a strategic brokerage and advisory role for all clinic facilities as it has developed a comprehensive master plan for the future.

The clinic, which occupies 15 acres near the intersection of Wolf River Boulevard and Germantown Road in the city’s thriving medical corridor, currently comprises a 60,000 square foot clinic and a 12,000 square foot ambulatory surgery center. Campbell Clinic also operates four other clinics and an ambulatory surgery center in midtown Memphis.

“As the original anchor tenant of what has become a thriving Germantown medical district, Campbell Clinic has flourished in this office for a quarter-century,” says Campbell Clinic Chief of Staff Dr. Fred Azar. “In the early 1990s, our physicians blazed the trail to expand specialized medical services eastward in Shelby County. As the population has grown in our area, so has the need for quality orthopaedic care. This expansion will allow our organization to continue to grow to meet the demand while remaining a fixture in a very convenient location.”

The significance of the expansion paired with the aggressive timeline for completion makes the partnership with Rendina critical, according to Campbell Clinic CEO George Hernandez.

“Utilizing Rendina’s wealth of experience in healthcare real estate will enable us to create a world-class venue for our patients in a relatively short period of time while eliminating the risk of any service disruptions during the construction process,” says Mr. Hernandez. “The clinic has long been a regional destination for musculoskeletal care. This new facility will allow us to offer some new services while enhancing the patient experience for the services we already provide. We’re very excited to get started.”

Rendina has managed healthcare real estate solutions for nearly 30 years and has developed more than 7 million square feet of real estate during that time.

“We are proud to be partnering with one of the premier orthopaedic groups in the country on this exciting new project,” says Richard Rendina, Chairman and CEO of Rendina. “This expansion is vital for advancing orthopaedic care in the area and we are committed to delivering a facility that offers the convenience and high-quality healthcare Campbell Clinic is known for providing.”

Intended to fit seamlessly into the city’s vision for the new downtown, the ACC’s design marries retail and medical with an inviting brick and glass façade – leveraging natural light and creating a welcoming atmosphere that includes a café located in the two-story atrium. Rendina expects to break ground in late 2017.

Rendina has two projects selected as finalists for the 2016 HREI Insights Awards™

Posted on by Brian Butler

Held annually, the Healthcare Real Estate Insights™ (HREI) Awards recognize fewer than 10 facilities throughout the country that exemplify excellence in the areas of healthcare real estate development. As HREI magazine prepares to announce winners of this year’s HREI Insights Awards™, Rendina Healthcare Real Estate is honored to receive two projects selected as finalists.

Rendina projects were named finalists in two categories: “Best New Development of an MOB or Outpatient Facility (between 25,000 and 49,999 square feet)” and “Best Renovated or Repurposed Healthcare Facility.”

The 2016 HREI Awards ceremony will be held on Dec. 8 at the RealShare Healthcare Real Estate Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center Annex

Best New Medical Office Building & Other Outpatient Facility

Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center Annex

Selected as a contender for “Best New Development of an MOB or Outpatient Facility (between 25,000 and 49,999 square feet),” the 41,000 square foot Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center Annex was developed by Rendina as an addition to the existing Ambulatory Center in Livingston, N.J. The Annex is the first of many new construction projects in the relationship between Rendina and RWJBarnabas Health, New Jersey’s largest health system. Services from the existing ACC have been relocated to the new Annex and are paired with custom-designed physician space.

Prior to the completion of the new Annex, the existing ACC was already a hallmark of outpatient care in New Jersey, performing more ambulatory surgery procedures than any other center in the state. Services include a breast cancer center, rehabilitation, an osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease center, imaging center, sports medicine institute, and the region’s only medically-based integrative medicine center – providing acupuncture, mind/body medicine, herbology and therapeutic massage.

Clara Maass Medical Center Campus

Best Renovated or Repurposed Healthcare Facility

Being considered for “Best Renovated or Repurposed Healthcare Facility” are three MOBs on the campus of Clara Maass Medical Center (CMMC) in Belleville, N.J. The three MOBs, totaling 128,006 square feet, were acquired by Rendina and immediately underwent extensive renovations. CMMC, an RWJBarnabas Health campus, looked to Rendina for a solution that would free up capital for the hospital, enhance the campus and community, and improve overall patient and physician satisfaction.

After acquiring the three MOBs from the hospital, Rendina transformed the dated facilities to modern healing environments by completely renovating all building common areas, including new lighting, flooring, ceiling tiles, paint along with new suite doors and building entry systems. Other interior improvements consisted of new signage and directories to improve way-finding, as well as art work and furniture to further improve the patient experience. Building systems were also enhanced, including new HVAC, roof replacements, and elevator cab modernization and mechanical upgrades. Improved handicap access via new ramps and parking also increased accessibility for patients.

Rendina’s dedication to improving the campus has translated into measureable success. Since taking ownership of the MOBs, occupancy has increased nearly 10 percent. More importantly, many physician groups have shifted from short term commitments to long-term leases on the campus. This long-term loyalty to the campus is a true benefit to the hospital and the improved conditions on campus are the driving force behind these new physician commitments. ‘Overall Satisfaction’ has increased 7 percent across the portfolio, according to a 2015 Kingsley Survey.

41,000 SF Outpatient Facility Opens in New Jersey

Posted on by Brian Butler

Rendina Healthcare Real Estate announces the completion and opening of a 41,000 square foot addition to the existing RWJBarnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center (ACC), in Livingston, an Essex County, N.J., community that is part of the New York Metropolitan Area.

Rendina will own and provide property management services to the new Annex. The project marks the first completed facility in a series of projects between the Florida-based developer and New Jersey’s largest health system, RWJBarnabas Health.

Services from the existing ACC have been relocated to the new Annex and are paired with custom-designed physician space.

The existing ACC is considered a hallmark of outpatient centers, providing a wide array of ambulatory surgery and diagnostic imaging procedures and also includes a healthcare concierge dedicated to patient satisfaction. Together with new facility addition, the ACC is one of the most sophisticated and full-service outpatient centers in New Jersey.

Rendina plans to celebrate another milestone later this year with the opening of the 87,000 square foot medical office building and ICU addition to Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, New Jersey.
