Health care system Centura Health plans to build a 24,000-square-foot medical building at 6900 and 7060 E. Hampden Ave., according to a site-development plan submitted to the city.

Centura, which is the largest health care system in the state, purchased the two parcels, which combined are 1.63 acres, in 2017 and 2018. Acting as Portercare Adventist Health, Centura purchased the 0.41-acre lot at 7060 E. Hampden Ave. in December 2017 for $1.9 million, records show. The lot included a 7,200-square-foot office building with seven tenants.

In December 2018, the health care company purchased the 1.22-acre 6900 E. Hampden Ave. parcel from UMB Bank for $3.34 million. UMB previously operated a branch at the site, but left the building in favor of a new one it built closer to the intersection. It opened there in October.

The former bank has since been demolished, and the office building will follow within a few months, according to Deb Carpenter, Centura’s director of clinic operations. Records indicate that the two-story facility Centura has planned — which will include a freestanding emergency room — will have the address of 7000 E. Hampden Ave.

“Centura was very interested in this area because through some work we did analyzing the area, we realized there really isn’t anything in that area for emergency care,” Carpenter said.

Boulder Associates Architects drew up plans for the new facility, which Carpenter said will open in May 2020.

Denverite reported in May that Councilwoman Kendra Black had been lobbying for a project called “Parkside,” which would have oriented new businesses toward Southmoor Park, located south of Hampden Avenue.

Centura Health is a subsidiary of Florida-based AdventHealth (formerly Adventist Health System) and Catholic Health Initiatives, based in Englewood. The two health systems partnered together to form Centura Health in 1996, which now operates 17 hospitals across Colorado and western Kansas.

Elsewhere in the state, Centura recently paid $30 million for 57.8 acres in Colorado Springs to build a third campus in the city.

Convene Partners With Healthcare Startup To Put Clinics In Coworking Spaces

/in , , /by

As part of its effort to be all things to all office users, Convene is bringing a new kind of amenity to flexible offices.

A new partnership with healthcare startup Eden will place clinics within Convene‘s flexible office footprint. The clinics can serve as primary care contacts for Convene members and other office tenants in the building, and can use virtual healthcare technology to consult with specialists and save square footage.

Convene has been testing its model with Eden for a year, and plans to open at least 25 locations across its existing footprint across the next 18 months, according to the announcement. Its roll-out will begin in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Boston and Los Angeles later this year.

Convene started out as a provider of on-demand event spaces, then transformed itself into a flexible office space operator in February 2018 by partnering with landlords rather than renting from them. Like coworking name brand WeWork, it has added elements and offerings at a rapid pace, driven by investment capital from real estate sources such as Brookfield and RXR Realty.

In September, Convene began offering its design and flex office management services as a service to landlords, rather than a branded entity within their buildings. Similar in concept to WeWork’s Powered by We service, it reflects the office industry’s growing acceptance of flexible office providers as not just a subletter, but an amenity. Convene‘s partnership with Eden adds to the modern concept of an office that draws employees in by filling more of their needs beyond desk space.
