Healthcare & Medical Office Construction in Greater Boston & New England
Terrapin Construction Group builds healthcare and medical office space across Greater Boston from 50 Milk St, 16th Floor, Boston, MA 02109. Boston is anchored by one of the strongest healthcare ecosystems in the world, Mass General Brigham, Dana-Farber, Beth Israel, and Boston Children's, which sets a high bar for clinical construction and the systems behind it.
Medical work is a systems problem. TCG delivers in-house MEP engineering for medical gas, filtered and redundant HVAC, and the power that imaging and procedure suites require, plus architecture that meets FGI Guidelines and Massachusetts DPH requirements. We manage infection control (ICRA) and phasing so care continues during construction.
Whether the project is a multi-specialty medical office building, an outpatient or imaging suite, or a life sciences lab adjacent to Boston's biotech cluster, TCG delivers it under one design-build contract to compress schedule and control cost.
Why TCG for Healthcare Construction in Boston
Systems expertise in-house. Medical gas, filtered and redundant HVAC, imaging power, and FGI-compliant layouts are engineered in-house through TCG MEP, not handed off.
Code and licensing fluency. FGI Guidelines, Massachusetts DPH, ICRA infection control, and City of Boston ISD permitting are built into the plan from day one.
Care-continuity phasing. Occupied MOBs and clinics require phasing, ICRA barriers, and after-hours work. We sequence around live operations.
Single-source delivery. One design-build contract for design and construction compresses schedule 15-30% in a market where trade capacity is tight and expensive.
National Experience, Built for Boston
TCG's Boston medical portfolio is anchored by national healthcare and clinical experience and in-house MEP engineering rather than a single local landmark. The page below is a capability statement for Greater Boston healthcare owners, not a claim of a specific local hospital contract.
