A once-vacant project known as Bell Road Plaza, this collection of three frontage retail buildings and one office building was redeveloped and transformed into Adelante Healthcare. In less than nine months, LGE Design Build and Cawley Architects expanded 12,000 SF to accommodate 30,000 SF of contiguous space. The healthcare facility includes 28 exam rooms, specialty waiting rooms, wood look-alike VCT floors and a central break cafe. To maintain energy efficiency, Adelante includes 14 seer HVAC and a 1-inch foam roof to the current building. The project was 100% vacant and being sold through bankruptcy. Thanks to the project’s innovative team, Adelante Healthcare has the capacity and resources to provide medical assistance to the residents of Surprise.
