The 5,000-square-foot facility will be open every day for 12 hours and is expected to “anchor” a new 30,000-square-foot office and retail building, according to the report. The office building is part of a $20.3 million redevelopment plan that includes the construction of rental housing, single-family homes and a park beginning this summer.
Highmark is providing MedExpress an undisclosed amount of money for the project, which will return some health services to the area after UPMC closed its Braddock hospital in 2010.
MedExpress expects to open the urgent care center next summer.
