In a compelling feature with Commercial Construction & Renovation (CCM) Magazine, Group PMX’s Director of Life Sciences & Healthcare, Michael Kimura, takes readers behind the scenes of one of New York City’s most ambitious healthcare infrastructure projects—the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital in South Brooklyn.

Born from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, this 11-story, 350,000-square-foot facility represents far more than modern healthcare construction. It’s a strategic reimagining of climate-resilient design, featuring a raised emergency department, flood-resistant infrastructure, and cutting-edge medical technology that will serve the 875,000 residents of South Brooklyn for decades to come.

Michael reveals how Group PMX’s “One Team, Shared Success” methodology proved essential in navigating the complex FEMA-funded project. From aggressive budget management to fostering alignment across diverse stakeholders, the firm’s approach kept this transformational build on track despite regulatory hurdles and evolving demands.

The article examines key considerations shaping today’s healthcare construction landscape, including the push for flexible, adaptable spaces following the COVID-19 pandemic and the unique challenges of working within healthcare’s complex regulatory environment. Michael also discusses emerging trends in project delivery methods and prefabrication that are revolutionizing construction efficiency.
