Contractor Health Construction was selected to build the initial phase of Estes Park’s new $30 million Wellness Center. Built adjacent to the Stanley Hotel, the project is a public-private partnership between the Estes Park Medical Center and the Grand Heritage Hotel Group, which owns the Stanley Hotel. The Wellness Center is design to provide a high-profile “wellness tourism” destination and more than 70 year-round jobs. Heath’s leadership in local construction and its long commitment to Estes Park were both key reasons for the company’s selection. “Working with a local contractor is very important to us,” said John Cullen, CEO of Grand Heritage Hotel Group. “This project is vitally important for Estes Park, and we believe it should be built by a construction partner who is as committed to Estes Park as we are.” The initial phase of construction will include a hospitality component of the Wellness Center complex, a 33-room boutique hotel. The first phase of design and construction is expected to be complete in late 2015, while the overall Wellness Center complex is slated to open in 2016. Architecture Plus is designing the project.
