Multi-million dollar facility will deepen clinical services, add jobs and make positive economic impact

BIRMINGHAM Ala. – Grandview Medical Center’s presence along 280 will soon increase as cranes rise for construction of a new multi-million dollar medical office building – Grandview Physicians Plaza II. The seven-story, 200,000 square foot structure is a significant investment and visible sign of Grandview’s growth since opening in 2015.

The hospital held a groundbreaking ceremony today with Governor Kay Ivey participating. “The growth happening at Grandview Medical Center helps further solidify our position as a national leader in top-notch medical care,” Governor Ivey said. “’I’m always proud to celebrate the health care contributions that Birmingham makes, not only to Alabama, but to the southeast region and the entire country. Today, I was proud to join Grandview in breaking ground on this new facility.”

Continued investment and recruitment of nearly 500 new physicians has helped Grandview grow into a tertiary medical resource for the region with a record of operational and clinical success. The hospital has experienced significant growth in admissions, surgeries and ER visits while sustaining safety, quality, clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Community access to care has steadily expanded as the employed physician network has grown to 130-plus providers in more than 20 locations.

“Our culture of patient experience and clinical excellence has helped Grandview Medical Center become a tertiary medical destination for Birmingham and the region and this significant investment will support further growth,” said Drew Mason, hospital CEO. “Grandview is a trusted source for quality care and we’re committed to providing our patients with an outstanding experience and access to comprehensive services.”

Daniel Corporation, in partnership with Seavest Healthcare Properties is the owner and developer for Grandview Physicians Plaza II. Grandview has signed a master/long-term lease to be the anchor tenant, leasing a significant portion of the building for physician offices and hospital services. “Daniel Corporation is delighted to further its investment in the Grandview campus through development of this facility,” said Pat Henry, President of Daniel Corporation. “We expect Grandview Physicians Plaza II to provide doctors with the finest medical office space available in the city.”

The building is designed to support ease of access and a positive patient experience, with covered deck parking and a connector to the other buildings on campus so patients, physicians and employees can easily move between facilities. Additional surface parking will be adjacent to the structure.

"Birmingham is recognized as a national leader in healthcare because of the world-class research, patient care, and delivery that happens in our city. This development will expand Birmingham's competitive advantage by providing a state-of-the-art facility adjacent to an excellent healthcare provider,” said Birmingham Mayor Randall L. Woodfin.

Benefits to the local economy include capital spending, increased construction and clinical jobs and expansion of clinical services. Daniel Corporation plans to commence construction this fall and open Grandview Medical Plaza II in the second quarter of 2022. Brasfield & Gorrie is the general contractor for the project which was designed and engineered by ESa Architecture and Schoel Engineering.
