• Construction is being completed in phases and includes a new entrance road, additional parking, and a power plant to support future campus expansion.

Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System is investing $325 million to build the firstdedicated heart and vascular hospital in northwestern South Carolina, expanding capacity for specialized care and advanced procedures at its Spartanburg campus.

The 240,996-square-foot upstate SC hospital will be built in front of the existing heart center.

The new facility is designed to expand access to heart and vascular services while improving connections among primary care physicians, specialty physicians and hospital-based treatment teams, according to Spartanburg Regional.

The project is expected to be ready to serve patients in 2030. Construction is being completed in phases as part of a broader investment intended to improve the patient experience and prepare the campus for future growth.

New Heart and Vascular Capacity

The hospital will add 104 beds, including 90 acute-care beds and 14 coronary care unit beds. The project also includes 24 beds for patients before and after catheterization lab procedures.

• Additional diagnostic testing and procedural space will support the hospital’s cardiovascular services.

• Renovation and expansion work will create a new cardiovascular recovery unit, while dedicated space will allow Spartanburg Regional to expand its structural heart program.

• Structural heart services generally address conditions involving the heart’s valves and other structures through procedures that can include minimally invasive or catheter-based treatment.

The planned space is intended to support the program as demand for those services grows.

Hospitals and Clinics Help Support Growth in 2026

The announcement comes as the Hospitals and Clinics construction sector helped smooth the positive year-to-date performance of Total Nonresidential construction starts, according to ConstructConnect Chief Economist Michael Guckes.

Guckes said that "From January through July 2026, Offices, including Data Centers, and Manufacturing accounted for nearly 40% of Nonresidential Building spending by dollar value."

The economist added the performance of those sectors had a disproportional effect on the overall market. But Guckes noted that while Manufacturing starts have slowed, other sectors have propped up the broader market.

"The growth is being supported by a range of mid-sized categories, including Hospitals and Clinics, Nursing Homes and Assisted Living, Prisons, and Military construction," Guckes added.

U.S. Nonresidential construction starts spending rose 14.8% year to date through July 2026, driven by a 148.5% surge in Data Center spending, while Manufacturing declined 32.2%. Excluding both sectors, spending still grew a broad-based 10.4%. Image: ConstructConnect Construction Economy Snapshot

Larger Construction Improvements for Spartanburg Regional

The hospital is one part of a larger construction program on the Spartanburg Regional campus. The work includes a new interior entrance road and additional parking areas intended to improve access and circulation for patients, visitors and staff.

A new power plant is also included in the project. The utility investment will help position the campus to support additional expansion beyond the new heart and vascular hospital.

By combining new clinical space with transportation, parking and utility upgrades, the project will extend the campus’s ability to accommodate specialized cardiovascular care and future development.
