Developer, Andrews Sports Medicine outline plan to convert former Belk at Brookwood Village into clinic and outpatient surgery center; public hearing set for Ar
Summary
Developers and tenants presented plans April 7 to convert the former Belk at Brookwood Village into an Andrews Sports Medicine clinic and ambulatory surgery center; the Planning and Development Committee set a public hearing for April 28 and recommended the plan move forward.
Developers and the tenant team presented an amended development plan to the Planning and Development Committee on April 7 to convert the former Belk department store at Brookwood Village into a medical facility for Andrews Sports Medicine.
Paul Darden (representing the owner/developer), David Ransom (developer representative), and representatives from Veritas and Andrews Sports Medicine described a plan that would renovate and add space to create an approximately 32,000-square-foot medical facility on a 3.377-acre parcel. The proposal would include clinic space on one level and an ambulatory surgery center on another, with the plan calling for 12 clinical pods (about 60 exam rooms), two procedure rooms in clinic, MRI and X‑ray suites, and an ambulatory surgery center with 18 operating rooms and PACU pre-op/recovery pods providing roughly 51 post-op/recovery beds (all outpatient; no inpatient service).
The applicant described parking and access arrangements that combine converted mall-level parking and leased spaces in the West Garage under a reciprocal easement/parking agreement with the mall ownership; the team said they will secure a formal parking agreement so staff and physicians have designated spaces. The project team said construction would begin July 2025 with substantial completion expected in December 2026 and first patients in spring 2027.
The Planning and Development Committee recorded a motion approving the amended development plan and recommended it for final consideration pending a public hearing that the committee set for April 28. Committee members asked questions about parking, reciprocal easement protections and how parking will be guaranteed as the broader redevelopment of Brookwood Village progresses. The applicant said those matters are addressed through reciprocal easement and parking agreements with the mall owner.
Members of the committee voted to move the plan forward with a public hearing; the committee recorded a favorable recommendation and scheduled the hearing for April 28.
