Healthcare: Medical offices on tap for Kyle
Onair to put building near new hospital
An Austin-based medical office developer is turning its sights to Kyle just south of Austin.
Onair Development plans to build a 38,000-square-foot building near the Seton Family of Hospitals’ new Seton Medical Center Hays, on a 3.5-acre site off the southeast corner of I-35 and Kyle Crossing. The company said it will break ground early next year, with an estimated construction time of nine months.
The Kyle building is not Onair’s first in the Austin area; it also is developing a 120,000-square-foot medical office project in Central Austin within the University Park mixed-use project, adjacent to St. David’s Medical Center. The company has preleased 50 percent of that building.
Kerry Angus, president and CEO of Onair, said demand for its project in University Park and the ability to land a site so close to the new Seton hospital drove the decision to build in Kyle. The city 20 miles south of Austin is also a relatively under served market when it comes to medical development, Angus said.
