Mixed-use real estate is coming to healthcare, and more hospitals are integrating shops and appealing public spaces into their designs, according to an article on the BisNow website.
For instance, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago’s Streeterville — With nearly 10,000 employees, 67,000 neighborhood residents and 3,000 hotel rooms within a five-block radius — was well-positioned for incorporating retail.
Through a detailed retail market assessment and study, the hospital determined there was an unmet demand at the campus for about 50K SF of retail composed of mostly food and beverage shops.
Patients are now demanding convenience, modern technology and quick treatment when seeking care. Convenience can be boosted in a mixed-use environment.
