Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts has chosen Boston's Payton Construction Corp. to manage the build-out of the company's new 380,000-sf corporate headquarters at Landmark Center. Architects Margulies & Associates and Shooshanian Engineering are also working on the headquarters.

Keystone Mercy has outgrown its 200,000-sf build-to-suit headquarters currently under construction in Conshohocken, and will instead lease an additional building for its headquarters at the Airport Business Center in Lester, where most of its operations are housed.

The Palo Alto Medical Foundation is scheduled to open its new $120 million, 300,000-sf campus in Palo Alto in September. The project consists of two buildings that accommodate the 140-doctor medical group, the research division, and the educational outreach group.

Ellerbe Becket of Minneapolis and RMW Architecture and Interior Design of San Francisco designed the facility; Swinerton Inc. of San Francisco was the general contractor.
