Kaiser Permanente’s planned expansion of its Largo hub just got the go-ahead to move forward.
The Prince George’s County Planning Board voted Thursday to approve the project, which would bring more space for care and parking to the health system’s medical center at 1221 Mercantile Lane.
The vote — three in favor and one abstention — means Kaiser Permanente can start construction, which is slated for fall of this year and would take about 18 months to complete, according to Caroline Masikonde, the organization’s vice president of delivery system operations for D.C. and Maryland.
The expansion involves both tapping into roughly 80,000 square feet of unused space and adding another 10,000 square feet to the existing 234,000-square-foot medical center. It would bring more space for urgent care, outpatient procedures and parking.
