CENTRAL HEALTH - COLONY PARK HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER in Austin, TX

Central Health is constructing a 32,130 sq ft medical office building at 6420 Helen Miller View in Austin’s Huntington Meadows neighborhood. This new construction project includes a commercial kitchen and shell space designated for a future library. The filing describes the facility as the Colony Park Health & Wellness Center, a development that represents a significant addition to the local healthcare infrastructure in Travis County.

The project carries an estimated cost of $28,000,000, which works out to $871 per square foot. This figure is above the county median of $125 per square foot for new construction filings, placing the project in the top quarter for cost among similar registrations in the area. The scale and budget reflect the comprehensive nature of the build, which is designed to serve both immediate medical needs and long-term community planning.

Design and Registration

HKS INC serves as the design firm of record for this development. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in July 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Kimberly J Goss is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The use of public funds or public land is noted in the registration, indicating a mix of public and private interests in the project's realization.

Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2025 and is scheduled to finish in April 2027. This build window spans 516 days, which is longer than the county median of 304 days for similar projects. The extended timeline allows for the complex coordination required for a facility of this size, including the integration of specialized medical spaces and the preparation of shell areas for future adaptation.
