Woodward Corners

Royal Oak, MI

Beaumont Health System continues to excel in the provision of the highest quality healthcare to Greater Detroit and Southeast Michigan. As the provider of choice for clinical and patient care excellence, Beaumont continues to expand its service offerings and mission for patient care, research, and teaching. The healthcare system also understands the changing face of healthcare from acute care to chronic treatment. All of these attributes, plus the founding of Beaumont University, have placed pressure on the existing Royal Oak Main campus.

Immediately adjacent to the hospital campus is a 17-acre parcel which extends to the major street intersection of Woodward Avenue and 13 Mile Road. The health system is the landowner of the parcel which presently hosts a community shopping center. This master planning effort considers redevelopment of that site; removing the shopping center and replacing it with approximately 500,000 square feet of mixed-use development in a series of buildings. The facilities are organized along an artery extending from the main hospital to the major street intersection and providing a view corridor of the entire medical campus.

Anticipated facilities for the development include: a 300,000 square foot, multi-use ambulatory care and university teaching facility; a series of multiple facilities that are flexible for clinical/general office/retail - ranging from 18,000 to 42,000 square feet; a 100-suite hotel to accommodate patient and family lodging; and plaza and park facilities for outdoor events.

The anticipated development provides additional building facilities and creates a walkable community which integrates a patient care and community open air environment. The concept will ultimately strengthen the Beaumont brand and provide for a wellness environment interlaced with the adjoining neighborhoods. This program provides Beaumont with a long-term platform for planned growth.
