Builder Tops Out Vast New Houston Hospital
McCarthy Building Companies is half way there, topping out on the main building at Houston Methodist’s new Cypress Hospital campus located in the greater Houston area. The Houston Methodist campus sits on 105 acres and consists of a seven-story hospital, two medical office buildings, and a central utility plant, with a mixture of built out space as well as a shell for future growth. McCarthy broke ground on the hospital in February 2022, and construction is scheduled to achieve substantial completion by the end of 2024.
McCarthy’s scope includes demolition of 11 existing buildings, before constructing the new hospital with capacity for 276 licensed beds. The campus consists of a seven-story hospital building centered around a seven-story atrium. It also includes two medical office buildings that are six stories each. The first contains a cancer center with linear accelerator, a breast center and infusion and pharmacy areas. The second includes an orthopedics and sports medicine center and clinics.
