The two-story Forest Park Medical Center, totaling 66,100 sf,will be built on 4.35 acres at the corner of US Hwy. 75 and ForestLane, tucked between HCA's Medical City and Presbyterian Dallas.The managing partners of the physicians group are Drs. RichardToussaint, Wade Barker, Robert Wyatt and Corazon Ramirez, who areunfazed by the competition in the pocket.

"That location for our hospital, as well as theirs, is a verycentral location to the main core of Dallas and the highwaysystem," Wyatt explains about their choice of sites. The acreage,bought from Ty Commercial of Dallas, is considered to be the lastpremiere site inside the Interstate 635 loop.

Wyatt tells GlobeSt.com that Forest Park Medical Center isenvisioned as a complex with 90,000 sf of medical office space as a"certainty" and a seniors' assisted living facility as one of thepossibilities for future expansion. A medical office building would"enhance the project," he says, "but it's not necessary for itssurvival."
