With a nod to the struggle cancer patients face during treatment, Turner Construction on Monday marked the opening of a $105 million oncology facility in Nashville, Tennessee. 

Tennessee Oncology’s five-story, 311,881-square-foot Midtown Medical Office Building will bring together multiple oncology specialties under one roof, according to a Turner news release. 

“This project is about more than a building—it’s about creating a place where patients and families feel supported during some of the most challenging times in their lives,” said Paul Lawson, vice president and general manager of Turner’s Nashville office. 

Turner provided preconstruction and construction management services for the project, which also included three levels of underground parking. 

The New York City-based contractor managed three concurrent scopes of columbus oh dump truck company on the build, including the structure’s core and shell, a full interior fit-out of four floors and completion of a specialized drug development unit. That meant orchestrating coordination between field teams, trade partners and designers to uphold safety, align schedules and deliver interdependent project components, Turner said. 

While Turner has been a first-mover in the red-hot data center construction market, a sector that helped it grow its backlog to more than $39 billion in the first half of the year, it’s also a formidable player in healthcare construction. 

The firm was recently selected as part of a joint venture, along with Flintco Construction, Nickson General Contractors and Fifer & Associates, to build a $1 billion hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. In July, a Turner JV with Byrne Construction Services and Straight Line Management topped out a $550 million build at University Health’s Palo Alto Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.  

Earlier this year, real estate consultancy JLL issued a report highlighting increased occupancy in medical office buildings, driven by the growth of outpatient services. The elevated demand for such facilities can increase the need for new construction. In August, Boston-based Suffolk opened a new California office to target healthcare construction in the state, citing similar demand drivers.
