Suburban Chicago MOB Breaks Ground

Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago has broken ground on a 75,000-square-foot outpatient facility in Schaumburg, Ill. The Lurie Children’s Schaumburg Outpatient, Primary Care and Infusion Center will expand the medical provider’s footprint in Chicago’s northwestern suburbs.

The development team includes Skender as general contractor, HKS as architect, IMEG Corp. as structural and mechanical engineer and V3 Cos. as civil engineer. The medical office building is slated for completion in the summer of 2025 and will receive patients that same year in August.

Upon delivery, the property will host 40 exam and treatment rooms and will offer primary care, ancillary and diagnostic services, orthotics and prosthetics, laboratory and pharmacy services, as well as an ambulatory infusion center with the capacity to expand services. Lurie’s new clinic will replace other smaller Illinois locations in Arlington Heights, Hoffman Estates and Huntley.

Project approval timeline

The Lurie Children’s Hospital first proposed the development back in September 2022, with the Illinois Health Facilities & Services Review Board scheduling a public hearing for later that year. Over the next few months, progress was made, as the Schaumburg trustees were considering the approval of the three-story building in October 2023, according to the Daily Herald. According to the filed proposal, the investment would have amounted to more than $60 million and the future facility could have received 60,000 patient visits in the first year.

The outpatient facility is taking shape on 5.7 acres at 1895 Arbor Glen Blvd., at the northwest corner of Roselle Road and Hillcrest Boulevard. The location has access to Interstate 90, with downtown Chicago some 30 miles away. Other medical providers in the surrounding area include MedCoa Clinic, NCH Medical Group Primary and Specialty Care and Rapid Immediate Care, among others.
