The health-care division of Hoar Construction has broken ground on a 60,000-square-foot mental health clinic for the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Birmingham, Ala. The general contractor partnered with U.S. Federal Properties Co., which also developed the [VA outpatient clinic in Mobile](https://www.cpexecutive.com/post/easterly-government-properties-buys-alabama-mob/), Ala., and architect Hoefer Welker. The $30 million project is slated for completion in fall 2021.

The two-story facility is taking shape at 7901 Crestwood Blvd., on the former site of Birmingham Garden Inn. According to the *Birmingham Business Journal*, the developer purchased the site for $3.7 million in December through its affiliate, CBC Real Estate Group. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs leased the space for 20 years, for a total cost of $76 million.

Upon completion, the clinic will assume all VA mental health services currently provided by the downtown VA medical center. Officials estimate that approximately 25,000 veterans will benefit yearly from a wide array of programs. These include suicide prevention, outpatient general mental health, peer support, outpatient post-traumatic stress disorder treatment and homeless programs, among others. The site is some 7 miles from the current Birmingham VA Medical Center, which will benefit from extra space and new programs once the new project delivers.
