Princeton Medical Group has announced it will expand into the new medical office building under construction in the Plainsboro Village Center.
The three-story building is one of two new buildings located on Market Square Park in the Plainsboro Village Center. The building will provide offices for 32 physicians and medical practitioners who have been providing medical care for 65 years.
“This move means we will be better able to serve our population of patients,” said Joan Hagadorn, RN MBA, chief operating officer of Princeton Medical Group, in a press release. “We are very excited about expanding with this new location, which will be 16,000 square feet.”
Princeton Medical Group currently has two other locations — on North Harrison Street in Princeton and in Monroe. Princeton Medical Group specializes in cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, nephrology, OB/GYN, oncology/hematology, primary care, pulmonology, and rheumatology. Gastroenterology will soon be added to the list.
Sharbell Development Corp. and Plainsboro officials broke ground on the two new buildings last summer. The buildings will host medical offices, additional retail space, and eight residential condominium units in the Plainsboro Village Center. The two buildings will border the Market Square, the half-acre village green in the Village Center that also adjoins the new Plainsboro Public Library.
The new medical office building is scheduled to be completed prior to the opening of the new University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, officials said, so that they will be available to complement and support the added business generated when the hospital opens.
The plans for the two new buildings were unanimously adopted by Plainsboro’s Planning Board in September, 2009. When the township’s Village Center was originally approved, it included plans for three buildings that featured commercial uses on the ground level and residential units above. But Sharbell submitted plan changes to essentially transform two of the buildings into one larger medical office building of 30,000 square feet. The buildings were attached in the original plan by two walkways on the second and third floors, but now the footprint will essentially look like one building.
The second building is a 15,000-square-foot building with commercial on the ground floor and residential on the second and third floors.
