Project Summary
Paul Hemmer Company served as developer, owner, and general contractor for a multi-phase medical office campus at 7810 Five Mile Road in Cincinnati's Anderson Township. The project was delivered in two building phases totaling 73,064 square feet of medical office space, plus a dedicated multi-level structured parking garage to support the Surgery Center. Paul Hemmer Development Company owned the property and Paul Hemmer Construction Company (PHCC) managed all phases of design and construction, with PFB Architects and KZF providing architectural, structural, and civil engineering services across both buildings.
Key Features
- Building I — 28,064 SF medical office shell: The first building on the campus delivered a two-story, 28,064-square-foot medical office shell (14,032 SF per floor) for Group Health. Paul Hemmer provided full design-build services including architectural, structural, civil, plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, and electrical engineering, along with complete site development — earthwork, asphalt paving, site utilities, landscaping, parking lot lighting, and all permits and tap fees.
- Building II — 45,000 SF campus expansion shell: The second building significantly expanded the campus with a two-story, 45,000-square-foot medical office shell (22,500 SF per floor), nearly doubling the total campus footprint. Site work for Building II was coordinated under the Phase I contract, with Building II civil engineering, paving, and site improvements referenced back to the original KZF site drawings dated August 2004. The Building II scope also included demolition of an existing Thriftway building on the property.
- Surgery Center structured parking garage: To support the Surgery Center operations on the expanded campus, Paul Hemmer constructed a four-level cast-in-place concrete structured parking garage designed by GBBN Architects with structural engineering by THP Limited. The garage spans lower level, grade level, and two elevated decks, with dual masonry stair towers, hydraulic elevators, interior ramp circulation, sheet waterproofing, and a full MEP package by Perfection Group and Denier Electric.
- Full design-build delivery across all phases: All three project phases were delivered under Paul Hemmer's design-build model — with PHCC managing architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering in-house, coordinating all permits, tap fees, and testing, and providing owner and operations manuals and as-built CAD drawings at project completion. This single-source accountability model allowed the campus to be phased efficiently over multiple years without gaps in quality or coordination.
- Medical-grade structural specifications: Both buildings were engineered for medical occupancy use groups, with reinforced concrete foundations designed for 3,000 PSF net soil bearing, 4,000 PSI foundation wall concrete, elevated composite metal deck slabs, and roofs designed for 20 PSF live load. HVAC systems were designed to maintain 75°F cooling and 72°F heating throughout the medical office floors.
- Complete site and campus infrastructure: Phase I site work established the full campus infrastructure — clearing and grubbing, mass earthwork, asphalt paving with ODOT-spec base and surface courses, interior roof drains tied to underground storm, sanitary and water service extensions, site gas, parking lot lighting, exterior building lighting, underground telephone and cable conduit, and landscaping with $32,000 in trees, shrubs, and seeding across both phases.
