Michigan Medicine’s first Oakland County facility nears halfway mark, on track for 2027

Construction on Michigan Medicine's first medical facility in Oakland County is 60% complete and remains on schedule to open in late spring 2027, according to project officials. The four-story, 220,000-square-foot building, to be named the Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Troy Center for Specialty Care, is rising on the former Kmart headquarters site in Troy, a 40-acre property that had sat vacant for decades.

Ron Henry, executive director of Facilities, Planning and Operations for Michigan Medicine, said roughly 225 local construction trade workers are currently on site. The facility will house three major specialty programs: a cancer center offering treatment for tumors and blood cancers, surgical oncology, radiation therapy and an infusion center; reproductive health services for fertility and infertility in both women and men; and musculoskeletal and sports medicine care focused on joint replacement and sports injuries.

Angela Beck, Michigan Medicine's associate chief of nursing and operations officer, said the Troy campus gives the health system its first clinical presence in Oakland County. The building's design includes solar carport structures over half of the parking lot, which officials said can generate enough electricity to power the entire facility on a sunny day.

A second project, a 74,000-square-foot cardiovascular and imaging center across from the specialty care building, began construction this week and is expected to open at the end of 2027.
