Preston Road specialty hospital plans a 14-bed acute rehab unit on its third floor

The specialty hospital at 6800 Preston Road is lining up a second round of construction, this time to build an acute rehabilitation unit on its third floor.

A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation registry entry logged Oct. 2, titled "Select Medical - Specialty Hospital - 3rd Floor Renovation - Rehab Unit," lists the facility as LifeCare Hospital of Plano. The filing puts the cost at $3,925,000 for about 14,000 square feet of renovation.

According to the scope of work, the unit would include:

14 acute rehabilitation patient beds
a pharmacy
an ADL room and a physical therapy suite
storage for dialysis and respiratory therapy equipment
administrative areas and support space

Work is scheduled to run from Nov. 9 to March 12, 2027. The filing says the tenant is paying for the project and names Nant Real Estate Plano LLC, based in Dallas, as the building owner.

Follows a larger renovation

The rehab unit comes after a bigger project at the same three-story building. A separate filing registered Dec. 31, 2025, under the name "Select Medical - Specialty Hospital Renovation," described a $16 million renovation of about 80,000 square feet scheduled from Jan. 14 to July 30, 2026.

That work covered 51 patient beds, support spaces, administrative areas and a lab on the first and second floors, plus the existing pharmacy, dialysis suite and storage on the third floor.

The state records do not say when the rehab unit would begin taking patients or how many staff it would add. The newer filing showed a status of "Project Registered" on Tuesday.
