Medical Office Building with Surgery Center a Big Success

AJ Brown managed the construction and extensive site work for a new medical office building in Des Peres, Missouri. The three-story, 57,000 SF project included building construction, interior build-out and parking site work. The building was designed to serve multiple tenants and included an eye surgery center, endoscopy center and eye exam offices, all with very specific requirements. Due to the on-site surgery center, a generator back-up system was essential.
