Duke Realty Breaks Ground for Next Phase of UNC REX Healthcare Campus in Raleigh Area

HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. – The first collaboration between Duke Realty and UNC REX Healthcare brought convenient, high-quality healthcare services to the citizens of Holly Springs and southern Wake County, North Carolina, in the form of a two-story, 30,370-square-foot medical office building that opened in December 2011. Now the real estate firm and the health system are enhancing healthcare services in the fast-growing market with a 45,000-square-foot expansion of the existing MOB.

The three-story expansion, located at 617 Avent Ferry Road on the UNC REX Healthcare of Holly Springs campus, will be attached to the existing MOB with a three-story glass atrium.

Duke Realty will develop, finance, own and manage the new space, which will be 100 percent leased by UNC REX. The project, which will more than double the size of the facility, is expected to be completed in December 2017. UNC REX also plans to build a new 50-bed community hospital on the Holly Springs campus beginning next year.

The architect for the new MOB is BSA LifeStructures, and the general contractor is Brasfield & Gorrie.
