Eco-friendly Medical Office Building Slated for 2010
ACS Development creates the sole medical building planned for construction in Aliso Viejo.
05.29.2009 – (ALISO VIEJO, CA) In a time when many projects are put on hold or canceled, developers of Two Journey Medical Plaza move ahead with a new medical office building. A two-story, 20,000-square-foot building, Two Journey is environmentally-friendly and open, with strategies that address water and energy efficiency, conservation and site preservation.
The city of Aliso Viejo gave gave approval for the building in May, and construction begins this Fall. Major players included ACS Development Group Inc., architect LPA Inc. and commercial real estate brokers Lee & Associates.
“Not only are there no other medical buildings planned or under construction in Aliso Viejo, we’re offering ownership opportunities as well,” comments Fred Alaghband, Principal at ACS.”Physicians that sign a lease prior to the start of construction have an opportunity to invest as an equity partner - with limited liability --in the building.” ACS is a developer and operator of medical office buildings in Orange County with nine projects completed in the last five years.
Designed by workplace environment experts at LPA, the building uses a number of sustainable design strategies which measurably reduce the amount of heat absorption to the building, roof, and pavement (i.e. the Heat Island effect), energy and operating costs and of particular benefit to California, water consumption. A native landscape palette and high efficiency irrigation system abound throughout. The project team has poised the building to exceed California’s strict Title 24 requirements by 15 percent.
“The design solution for Two Journey Medical Plaza elevates 12 medical office suites above ground level parking with 110 spaces. The suites appear as if they are floating,” describes Keith Hempel, architect at LPA. “This technique gave our design team the freedom to rotate and divide the building in a way that optimizes solar orientation. Optimized solar orientation makes it possible for the interior spaces to have access to natural daylight and exterior views, which in turn results in higher energy efficiency and comfort for occupants.”
The estimated completion for Two Journey Medical Plaza is Summer 2010. Turn-key TI opportunities are available for those that prefer customization and the benefits of pre-leasing. Two Journey Medical Plaza is located near the Aliso Viejo Public Library, Aliso Viejo Town Center, and within an eight-mile radius of Saddleback, Mission and South Coast Hospitals.
