Driscoll Children’s Hospital will spend $2.2 million to finish out the fourth and fifth floors of its Edinburg facility at 2820 Michael Angelo Drive, according to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

Each project covers 15,200 square feet for $1.1 million. The filings list Day Surgery at Renaissance as the owner, with Susan Turley named as the owner’s representative. Driscoll Children’s Hospital is listed as the tenant, and FIRM Consultants, Inc., as the design firm.

The filings indicate construction should be completed by September 2026. TDLR records indicate that both projects are marked as “review complete,” meaning the state has completed its review of the filings.

The Edinburg facility opened in 2023 as Driscoll’s first freestanding children’s hospital in the Rio Grande Valley, part of the Corpus Christi-based system’s effort to expand pediatric specialty care across South Texas.
