Homewood Welcomes Major Medical Facility Renovation
Homewood is buzzing with excitement as the Planning Commission has just approved a significant renovation proposal for a brand-new medical facility! Formerly the old Belk department store in Brookwood Village, this new project is set to transform the space into the stunning Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center.
A Glimpse into the Future
The ambitious development plan, which received a 6-2 vote from the commission, boasts an impressive 131,000-square-foot design. That’s a whole lot of room for state-of-the-art medical services focused on sports medicine and orthopaedics! The vision is to create a leading facility not just for our community but perhaps for the entire region.
Why the Need for Change?
As many of you might remember, the Belk store was a longstanding feature of Brookwood Village, but times have changed, and so have our needs. The community craves updated healthcare options, especially those catering to active lifestyles and sports-related injuries. This renovation not only showcases Homewood’s commitment to health and wellness but also exemplifies a trend toward integrating modern medical services into our neighborhoods.

Beyond just healthcare, the Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center is expected to bring numerous jobs and increase foot traffic in the area.

With the Planning Commission’s approval in hand, the next step is to work through the details and finalize plans for construction. Residents are eager to see how the transformation will unfold, and many are optimistic about getting more information in the coming months.
