Froedtert Hospital announced plans Tuesday, Jan. 9 to build a nine-story patient tower at the Wauwatosa campus.

If the city approves it, the 225,000-square-foot tower will be situated where the main entrance of the hospital is located at 92nd Street and Doyne Avenue. The hospital said the new tower will allow it to expand its capacity to care for patients.

The structure would include inpatient care floors, a new main lobby expansion and a bridge connector to a parking structure currently under construction across 92nd Street. Construction would start in summer 2024, with an anticipated opening in 2027.
