Portland-based InterMed has put shovels in the ground for its fifth facility, its first in decades, at the Downs in Scarborough.

The 62,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center and medical office building is being built in the 577-acre mixed-use development’s emerging town center, at 277 Scarborough Downs Road.

The range of services will include both urgent and primary care, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, outpatient surgery, imaging and laboratory services.

InterMed’s main office is on Marginal Way in Portland. It has additional locations in South Portland, and downtown Yarmouth.

The new facility is a joint project with Remedy Medical Properties, a real estate development firm based in Chicago. Scarborough-based Landry/French Construction will be building the new facility.
