NexCore Group has finished construction on a 45,250-square-foot medical office building in Tucson, Ariz., part of the Northwest Medical Center Houghton hospital campus. With Wold | HFR Design serving as architect and Haydon Building Corp. as general contractor, the project broke ground in December 2020 and topped out in June 2022, when the 52-bed Houghton hospital officially opened, according to BizTucson.

The two-story building came online on a 5-acre site. The facility hosts primary care, cardiology, gastroenterology, dermatology, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedic services and physical therapy, pulmonary and rheumatology. Nathan Golik, executive vice president at NexCore, stated in prepared remarks that the size of the building was increased by approximately 20 percent in order to accommodate private physicians and expand the available services on campus.

Located at 2300 S. Houghton Road, the property is 13 miles from downtown Tucson, with Interstate 10 located just 10 miles from the hospital campus. The facility is 6 miles from St. Joseph’s Hospital and 8.8 miles from Tucson Medical Center.

Back in 2020, NexCore developed another facility within the Northwest Medical Center, a 61,000-square-foot building which was to function as a hospital and skilled nursing facility. Earlier this year, the company partnered with CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System to develop a medical campus in Orange, Texas. The 55,000-square-foot medical office building is slated for completion in 2023.
