North Central Baptist - CT Equipment Replacement

A 405-square-foot renovation at North Central Baptist in San Antonio is under review, with the project targeted for December 2026. The filing, registered with TDLR in August 2026, covers the removal of existing CT scan equipment and the installation of a new unit within the facility at 520 Madison Oak Dr. The estimated cost for this specific alteration is $300,000, which translates to $741 per square foot. This figure is above the Bexar County median of $85 per square foot for similar renovation filings, reflecting the specialized nature of the medical equipment upgrade.

Scope of Work

The physical work involves more than just swapping out the scanner. The scope includes new flooring, ceiling tiles, and paint throughout the affected area. Workers will also remove existing millwork and install a new wall-hung sink. A critical safety addition is the installation of a lead-lined door to the corridor, which is standard for protecting personnel from radiation exposure during CT scans. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, ensuring the upgrade meets specific operational needs of the healthcare provider.

VHS San Antonio Partners LLC is the owner of record, a firm that has four other TDLR-registered projects in San Antonio totaling over $15 million. These include work at Westover Hills Baptist Hospital, Baptist Medical Center, and St. Luke's Baptist Hospital. The design firm of record is O'Connell Robertson, which has six other registered projects across Texas totaling nearly $38 million. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Jessica Trevino Hamm. The construction window is scheduled for 78 days, starting in September 2026, which is close to the county median build window of 103 days for comparable renovations.

The surrounding area, ZIP code 78258, has a median household income of $116,133 according to U.S. Census estimates. Bexar County’s unemployment rate was 4.7 percent in July 2026, slightly higher than the previous year. City of San Antonio permit records show three permits at this address issued between October 2025 and September 2026, including plumbing, electrical, and gas testing permits. These recent permits suggest preparatory work may have already begun at the site ahead of the main construction phase.

The project status is listed as Project Registered, meaning plan review is pending. No completion date has been confirmed beyond the targeted finish in December 2026. The facility is not open for public tours or construction observation; it remains a private healthcare site. The high cost per square foot is typical for medical equipment replacements that require specialized shielding and utility connections. Readers should note that the TDLR record tracks construction compliance, not business operations or service availability.
