TROY, Mich. – A new tower will be built at an Oakland County hospital as part of an expansion project to “support inpatient demand and improve patient access,” hospital officials announced. The 132,000-square-foot expansion project planned for the Corewell Health Beaumont Troy hospital will add 94 beds, bringing the hospital’s bed count from 530 to 624, according to a release. “Troy and northern Oakland County are among the fastest-growing communities that Corewell Health serves, and the new tower will help us continue to deliver sustainable, integrated and patient-centered care,” said Lamont Yoder, president, Corewell Health in Southeast Michigan. “The expansion will help us meet immediate and future inpatient demand while meeting the full spectrum of the needs of our patients.” The expansion will also increase the percentage of private rooms available from 40% to 72%. The hospital said that the expansion project includes a new 128,000-square-foot parking deck with a connecting bridge, which will improve access to the hospital. Corewell Health issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a construction manager to do advanced planning for the proposed tower earlier in October, according to the release. A firm will be chosen for the project in November, and the hospital said construction is expected to start “no later than August 2027.” Corewell Health expects the new tower to be completed in 2030.
