Health Care News
N
exCore Group celebrated the
grand opening of its latest
addition to the St. Anthony
North Health Campus – the
41,400-square-foot Medical
Pavilion.
Located on the 35-acreWestmin-
ster campus, at the interchange of
Interstate 25 and 144th Avenue, the
two-story building at 500W. 144th
Ave. is the second health care facility
NexCore has delivered there. The free-
standing physician office building is
100 percent leased.
“We are very excited about our con-
tinued partnership with St. Anthony
North on this new campus,” said Jar-
rod Daddis, managing principal at
NexCore. “The new Medical Pavilion is
a continuation of the hospital’s prom-
ise to provide the residents of North
Denver with a one-stop location for all
of their health care needs.”
NexCore developed the Medical
Pavilion in collaboration with St.
Anthony North, a full-service, acute
care community hospital and mem-
ber of Centura Health. Davis Partner-
ship Architects designed the building,
constructed byWaner Construction
Company Inc. NexCore Properties LLC
is the property and asset manager.
NexCore engaged the Medical Pavil-
ion design and construction teams
in a target-value design process, in
which all participants realized the
need to provide budget-conscious
solutions for all building systems.
The result of this collaborative design
process is a building that strikes the
right balance between cost and value,
achieving efficiency in both first-cost
and life-cycle costs, the firm noted.
Design efficiencies included shifting
the main lobby’s exposed stair ele-
ment into the entry vestibule and out
of the main building footprint. This
change allowed the team to create a
two-story entry lobby, which resulted
in larger tenant spaces in that par-
ticular corner of the building and
reduced the common area factor. The
team also designed a multimetering
electrical system that directly bills all
tenants for electrical demand within
each suite, thus eliminating the need
for each tenant to set up a separate
account with the utility company
and reducing the size of the electrical
closet on each floor.
The Medical Pavilion houses cardiol-
ogy and vascular, ear nose and throat,
ophthalmology, orthopedics, physical
therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, and
urology services.
The Medical Plaza primarily serves
independent physicians who are
aligned with the hospital and who
derive no operational advantage from
a physical connection to the hospital,
according to NexCore. St. Anthony
North Health Campus also is leasing
space in the building for future hospi-
tal outpatient services.
Cornerstone Orthopaedics & Sports
Medicine is the largest tenant in the
Medical Plaza, leasing 14,221 sf.
“Cornerstone Orthopaedics & Sports
Medicine is very excited to be grow-
ing with the community on the St.
Anthony North Health Campus,” said
AnjelaWatson, the group’s executive
director.
Previously, Nexcore developed Phase
I of the greenfield campus, a 48,000-sf
facility that combined a freestand-
ing emergency department and other
hospital outpatient services with
independent physician offices. In
2015, Phase I was connected to the
Phase II hospital and now serves as
the entryway for all emergency ser-
vices on the campus that serves about
150,000 residents within a 5-mile
radius and 450,000 residents within a
10-mile radius.
SCL Health, Emerus,
Duke Realty open facilities
SCL Health System, a faith-based
nonprofit, and Emerus, a national pro-
vider of medical care, formed a joint
venture to build and manage four
new freestanding inpatient commu-
nity hospitals in the metro area, two
of which recently opened.
All four of the facilities are being
developed by commercial real estate
developer Duke Realty.
Late last year, the 37,080-square-
foot SCL-Emerus Health Community
Hospital at 6500W. 104th Ave. in
Westminster opened and the 37,080-
sf SCL-Emerus Health Community
Hospital at 8515W. Coal Mine Ave. in
Littleton opened in May.
The development team also is
developing two other hospitals in
the Denver area, a 37,080-sf facility
in Aurora and a 55,000-sf hospital
in Northglenn. Both are expected to
open in late summer.
While the hospitals are smaller than
typical hospital campuses, they offer
the same type of health care services
found in larger hospitals, including
emergency medical care, labor and
delivery services, inpatient care, a
wide range of surgical procedures, an
on-site laboratory and radiology ser-
vices, according to SCL and Emerus.
“These new facilities are part of
our organization’s strategy of bring-
ing health care services out into the
communities where our patients live
and work,” said Michael Slubowski,
president and CEO of SCL Health Sys-
tem. “These new facilities give them
greater access to the best medical care
possible and right in their own neigh-
borhoods.”
“We are honored to partner with
SCL Health System to expand health
care services to the growing Den-
ver region. These new community
The Medical Pavilion comprises 41,400 square feet and is located on the 35-acre St.
Anthony North Health Campus.
