Northeast Georgia Health System announced plans Friday morning to build a new medical office park north of Gainesville on Thompson Bridge Road.
According to a press release from the health system, the new development will be called the Thompson Bridge Medical Park and will be located on a 44-acre site at the corner of Southers Road.
The first development in the medical park will be a 14,000-square-foot, $10.5 million building called Medical Plaza 1. Medical Plaza 1 is expected to open in 2024 as the new home of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group Thompson Bridge. NGPG Thompson Bridge will move from its current location to the new building, but will still provide the same primary care and weight loss services. The future location will also offer gynecology services.
“We’re thrilled to be expanding care options in this community,” said Daniel Tuffy, president and chief administrative officer of NGPG. “NGPG and NGHS remain focused on growing for the greater good of our community, and this project will help us do that now and in the years to come.”
The development is planned to be a mixed-use office park that will be developed in several phases. A combination of one and two-story buildings with a total of 200,000 square feet could eventually fill the park. Construction is expected to start in the summer of 2023.
“Having a new space that will accommodate our patients even better than our practice does now will be such a welcomed change,” said Christy Wagner, MD, a physician at NGPG Thompson Bridge. “I’m excited to see our practice grow along with Thompson Bridge Medical Park so we can care for more people in this area.”
