The four-story, 60,000 square foot Class A medical office building provides a state-of-the-art wellness campus and enhanced outpatient services to the surrounding downtown LA community.

The new outpatient facility has been fully leased to HealthCare Partners, which is now Optum Medical Group after the recent acquisition by Fortune 500 firm UnitedHealth Group.

“This award underscores Ware Malcomb’s leadership in medical office design, as well as the synergy of our firm-wide resources," said Michael Petersen, Principal of Ware Malcomb’s Health & Science practice in the Irvine office.

"The urban infill location and footprint of this project, combined with the very specific tenant requirements of a modern medical office building posed unique design challenges that were addressed through collaboration with Ware Malcomb’s healthcare architecture and civil engineering teams.”

Luke Corsbie, Director, Civil Engineering in Ware Malcomb’s Irvine office, added:

“We worked closely with the project partners and our in-house architecture team to negotiate the challenges associated with Low Impact Development (LID) requirements in a dense urban setting to allow flexibility in maximizing the use of the limited site area.

"The result was a drywell with oversized conveyance pipes to meet both the volume requirements and the preferred means of managing the “first flush."

The project owner is Robhana Group, and the developer is Inception Property Group. The general contractor for the project was Oltmans Construction Company.
