HealthSouth digital hospital
The HealthSouth digital hospital on U. S. Highway 280 in Birmingham was constructed in 1997 for the then-fast growing outpatient and rehabilitation services company chaired by Richard Scrushy. The $38 million facility occupies 200,000 square feet on a 104-acre site that also includes the unfinished HealthSouth digital hospital.
Real estate developer Hall Thompson announced in early 2007 that he was interested in purchasing the facility and completing it as a full-service hospital for the rapidly-growing Highway 280 corridor. His group's application for an operating permit would have required cooperation from an established hospital, which was not forthcoming.
The entire campus, with the headquarters, conference center, and unfinished hospital was sold to the Dallas-based Trammell Crow Company in June 2007 for $60 million.
