Lee's Summit Medical Center expands campus, services

Cushman & Wakefield’s Andrew Greene and Leonard Popplewell hosted a broker tour of the newly constructed 52,000-SF medical office building this week, located on the campus of the Lee’s Summit Medical Center in Lee's Summit, Mo.

Developed and owned by Healthpeak Properties, Inc. of Franklin Tenn., HCA-Lee’s Summit Medical Center’s physicians’ groups will occupy the first and third floors and begin seeing patients in September 2020.

Kansas City medical office brokers toured the building's second floor, which includes 17,000 SF available for lease, a 1,500-SF spec suite and 5,000 SF for lease on the third floor.

“This multimillion dollar expansion represents an investment in the high-quality, comprehensive specialty care that we are committed to providing our community. It will allow Lee’s Summit Medical Center to expand the services we offer to the area we serve. It is yet another milestone in our continued growth within the community by bringing in more medical specialties while allowing us to provide space for existing specialties to grow," said John McDonald, Lee’s Summit Medical Center’s president.

Owner/developer Healthpeak Properties also owns medical office buildings on the campuses of Centerpoint Medical Center in Indeoendence, Mo. and Menorah Medical Center in Overland Park, Kan.

United Excel relaunches as StructSure Projects

The national general contractor formerly known as United Excel Corporation has relaunched as StructSure Projects. The firm founded in 1994 will build on its strength in the healthcare market and grow its presence in office and other diverse spaces.

“Healthcare is our main lane, but there is a desire to diversify and pursue other markets such as higher education, Class A office, and laboratory and pharmaceutical space,” said StructSure President Dennis Burns, who is leading the local market launch. “Healthcare is our bread and butter and what we are known for, but we still are going to look to expand into other sectors.”

“Our team is ready to put its expertise and drive for excellence to work in their own backyard,” Owner Kevin Rogers added. “StructSure Projects is motivated to perform at the highest level by offering certainty in quality of work and schedule.”

The company will retain all the history, experience and talent in its project management team. Recent projects include a new Hybrid OR at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, now AdventHealth, and the firm is currently working on projects for Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Children’s Mercy Hospital, and Menorah Medical Center.

"We have new energy and a new vision and it was the right time to rebrand and differentiate ourselves from the competition," Burns said. “We are still the same firm, just with a new look and feel."
