The city of Thorton, Colo., and North Suburban Medical Center have partnered to create a plan for the development of an 88-acre healthcare district, according to The Denver Post.
Of the 88 targeted acres for the project, 30 acres are currently vacant and intended for the construction of medical office buildings and continuum-of-care facilities, such as independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing facilities and memory care.
"North Suburban Medical Center is pleased to partner with the city of Thorton in redevelopment efforts along the Grant Street corridor to create a healthcare district, with the medical center as a key centerpiece," NSMC President Jennifer Alderfer told The Denver Post. "We look forward to providing guidance on complementary healthcare developments."
Under the partnership, NSMC will assist in attracting medical-centric organizations to the development. The Center for Spinal Disorders, North Denver Orthopedic Specialists, Mountain View Orthopedics and the Women's Health Group currently reside in the area around NSMC in Thorton.
The Thorton Development Authority will begin discussions for a master development plan next month and will publish a request for proposal next year, according to the article.
