Do you think new hospital facilities in your area will make care more accessible?

The University of Michigan has completed the steel structure for two facilities at the Troy Medical Campus, a 224,000-square-foot project under construction at 2112 Cunningham Drive in Troy. The campus includes the Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center, which will serve Oakland County residents closer to heart care.

Why it matters

For residents of Troy and the surrounding Oakland County area, the campus brings preventive and specialty cardiology closer to home, including heart failure and cardiac device clinics. The project reflects growing investment in local access to heart care, which matters for people managing cardiovascular risk over the long term.

This is a construction and property-development milestone rather than a clinical study, so no trial or cohort data apply. The figures reported are the campus footprint, the roughly $250 million cardiovascular center investment, and the acreage and prices of the property purchases.

The players

University of Michigan Health

The academic health system operating the Michigan Medicine network, which provides cardiology, imaging, and other specialty care.

Forbes/Frankel Troy Ventures

The developer that bought the former Kmart property in 2009 and is planning a mixed-use project on part of the site.

The details

The Troy Medical Campus sits on the former Kmart headquarters property, which had been vacant since 2006 before Forbes/Frankel Troy Ventures bought it in 2009. Demolition ran from November 2023 to July 2024, clearing the site for new construction. The Frankel Cardiovascular Center will offer preventive and general cardiology, electrophysiology, diagnostic services, heart failure care, and cardiac device clinics, while the Forbes Imaging Center will provide MRI, CT, mammography, DEXA, x-ray, PET, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine services.

November 2023: Demolition of the former Kmart headquarters begins.
March 2024: University of Michigan Health buys 7.28 acres for $4.42 million.
July 2024: Demolition of the former Kmart headquarters ends.
2025: University of Michigan approves purchase of two adjacent parcels for $2.5 million.
October 21, 2026: Steel structure completion is celebrated at the Troy Medical Campus.

Health Landscape

Expanding cardiology services into suburban sites like Troy reflects a broader shift toward distributing specialty heart care closer to where patients live, rather than concentrating it in a single academic center. Adding imaging alongside cardiovascular clinics also places diagnostic and treatment capacity in the same location.

Residents of Troy and Oakland County may find preventive cardiology, heart failure, and device clinics closer to home once the center opens. If you have heart concerns, it is worth discussing with your doctor whether a local cardiology referral would fit your care plan.

The takeaway

Closer access to specialty heart care is a meaningful development for Troy-area residents managing cardiovascular health. If you have a heart-related concern, ask your primary care doctor whether a referral to a cardiology clinic, including this one once it opens, is appropriate for you.

What happens next

The cardiovascular center could officially open as soon as summer 2027, and Forbes/Frankel Troy Ventures plans to present its latest mixed-use plan to the community within the next two months.
