The St. Anthony North Medical Pavilion in Westminster opened with 97 percent of its space leased and expansion in the forseeable future. The $26 million freestanding emergency department and medical office building is the first facility to be constructed on St. Anthony North’s 35-acre campus at the southwest corner of Interstate 25 and 144th Avenue, directly across from The Orchard Town Center. St. Anthony North, part of Centura Health, occupies the majority of the 48,000-square foot building, which includes 24-hour emergency care; an advanced imaging center offering diagnostic services and general radiology; laboratory services; an inpatient pharmacy; and Flight for Life heliport. “The medical pavilion was built with every detail strategically intended to ensure our patients receive exceptional service with the most convenient experience,” said Carole Peet, CEO of St. Anthony North Hospital. “This is the first phase of this building, and we will be announcing expansions soon.” Each of the departments within the two-story building has separate entrances to access different services and provide personalized care. However, if services from a different department are needed to fulfill treatment needs, those services are conveniently available. Located at 400 W. 144th Ave., the building is configured in a horseshoe shape with supplies, pharmaceutical and waste stations in the center and treatment rooms on either side. The design allows medical staff to easily access supplies and navigate the building to provide care as quickly as possible. For staff and EMTs, there is a lounge stocked with refreshments, a waste station and supplies closet directly adjacent to the emergency vehicle pull-up. NexCore developed the facility in collaboration with St. Anthony North Hospital. St. Anthony recently signed an additional lease to house its gastrointestinal laboratory, which also will be a licensed ambulatory surgery center, bringing the building’s occupancy to 97 percent. In addition to the hospital, the building houses three independent physician tenants: True Orthopedics, May Eye Clinic and Advantage ENT LLP. NexCore Group is the owner of the facility, which was designed by Davis Partnership and built by Calcon Constructors. NexCore is the property and asset manager. The building is the second of three outpatient facilities that NexCore will complete this year. It completed the Rex Wellness Center of Nightdale in North Carolina in June and will complete the United Health Services Outpatient Medical Facility in Vestal, N.Y., this month.
