A 79,500-square-foot orthopedic aASC and medical office building opened in Waltham, Mass., in June 2026, becoming the largest facility of its kind in Greater Boston by total footprint.
According to a June 30 news release shared with Becker’s, the center is a joint venture of Boston Bone & Joint Institute, Boston Out-Patient Surgical Suites, Boston Orthopaedic & Spine and Pro-Sports Physical Therapy. More than 30 providers affiliated with Beth Israel Lahey Health will offer orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, spine procedures and sports medicine at the site.
The building houses 8 operating rooms, 28 recovery bays, two floors of medical offices, a dedicated physical therapy space, a lab, a sterile processing unit and a three-level, 331-space parking structure. The 33,480-square-foot ASC portion is expected to increase surgical volume and reduce wait times for high-demand services such as joint replacement.
The Washington Trust Company, based in Westerly, R.I., led $75.6 million in construction-to-permanent financing for the project, part of a total project cost of approximately $105 million.
“This new facility represents a major step forward in how we deliver orthopedic care in Greater Boston,” said Jacob Kirsch, MD, an orthopedic shoulder specialist at Boston Bone & Joint Institute,in the release. Dr. Kirsch said the center lets physicians perform procedures with “greater convenience” while keeping the practice independent and physician-led.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
