On the southwest corner of Council and NW Expressway, the former Beauty Brands building has been demolished to make way for a micro hospital. Manhattan Construction fence is up and the old building is gone.

Building permit is for $2.5 million and 20,000 SF, all on 1 story.

Fun fact: That building was original constructed for Silo Electronics in the 80's, which was once a huge national chain.

I remember when it was Silo!

Do you know if the new hospital is going to be associated with an existing hospital group like Mercy or Integris, or if this going to be independent of those?

I believe it will be Integris.

Does anyone know what will be going in on the SW corner of NW Expressway and Council where they tore down the old Beauty Brands store? I haven't seen any "Coming Soon" signage anywhere.

Integris Community Hospital.

A full hospital with emergency room facilities or a medical clinic?

A full hospital with emergency room facilities or a medical clinic?

I believe it will have an emergency room and be like a mini-hospital.

Here is more:


Last October, INTEGRIS officials announced they would be working with Emerus to open small-scale, fully licensed inpatient hospital facilities in different quadrants of the metro, to bring high-quality care closer to home.
Each joint venture facility will be open 24-hours a day, seven days a week and will be equipped to respond to almost any medical issue a patient may present with; including those that may be life threatening or require complex, critical care.

Each will house between eight and 10 inpatient beds for observation and short-stay use, and include a similar number of emergency treatment and triage rooms, along with primary and specialty care physicians, diagnostic and other outpatient clinic services.

“What is a community hospital or a micro-hospital?” asked Vic Schmerbeck, the Executive Vice President of Business Development at Emerus. “We believe it’s a transformative concept that allows great health care systems like INTEGRIS to expand their reach further into communities by offering medical care in lower cost settings that are conveniently located where people live, work and play.”

I can't find any info on this, but maybe I just missed it. What is going in at the corner where the beauty store used to be?

It will be an Integris Community Hospital.
