Baylor Scott & White to add $49M medical building and parking garage to Frisco hospital

Baylor Scott & White will expand its new Frisco hospital with a $49 million medical office building and a five-level parking garage, according to planning documents filed with the state.

The 408,675-square-foot building and garage, located at the northeast corner of Frisco Street and Everwell Drive, will join the nearly 340,000-square-foot, $285 million facility already under construction near the Omni PGA Frisco Resort and the future site of a new Universal Parks & Resorts theme park. Both projects by the state’s largest nonprofit hospital system are expected to be completed by May 2025.

Construction on the new medical office building will begin Nov. 30, the Texas Department of Licensing & Planning filing said. Julie Smith, spokeswoman for Baylor Scott & White, said the hospital system doesn’t have additional details to share yet about the add-on.

“This region is one of the fastest growing in the country, and we have been exploring for many months how to keep pace with the area’s explosive growth. We are developing a campus at the corner of Dallas North Tollway and PGA Parkway that can continue to expand to meet community needs,” Smith said in an email.

HKS Inc. is listed as the project’s design firm. Baylor Scott & White first sought rezoning of 47.7 acres for the original hospital facility in 2022. It bought the property from Jerry Jones’ Blue Star Land a year prior.

Dallas-Fort Worth hospital systems have sprawled north in recent years as more people move to high-income communities like Frisco and Collin County. Baylor Scott & White built a sports medicine facility about 10 miles away at the Dallas Cowboys’ headquarters, The Star.

Texas Health Resources and UT Southwestern, Scottish Rite and Medical City have all staked a claim in the Frisco market, which has grown from just over 200,000 people in 2020 to more than 219,000 in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Children’s Health and Cook Children’s added sites in nearby Prosper, and Children’s Health broke ground on a massive expansion on its Plano campus in late 2021.
