A ribbon cutting that featured chief officials from The Hampshire Companies, Circle Squared, Mountainside Medical Center and Hackensack Meridian Health was held last week.

GLEN RIDGE, NJ—The Hampshire Companies and Circle Squared Alternative Investments have completed work on a new nearly 46,000-square-foot medical office building at the former School of Nursing site across from Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center on the border of Glen Ridge and Montclair.

The 45,735-square-foot medical office building at Mountainside Medical Center is anchored by Hackensack Meridian Health. The Hampshire Companies developed the project. Circle Squared served as project advisor on the new development. Both The Hampshire Companies and Circle Squared are based in Morristown, NJ.

A ribbon cutting was held last week for the new building. The state-of-the-art facility will provide increased access to quality care for the community and will provide a home for a variety of Hackensack Meridian Health's specialty groups at Mountainside Medical Center including obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, family medicine, urology, general surgery, cardiology, orthopedics, ENT, pulmonary, GI, endocrinology, pediatrics and pediatric subspecialists from the John M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center.

Jon F. Hanson, James E. Hanson II, and John Durso from The Hampshire Companies and Jeff Sica of Circle Squared Alternative Investments were joined by top local and hospital officials at the ribbon cutting event including John Fromhold, FACHE, CEO of Mountainside Medical Center, Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health, David Vandewater, CEO of Ardent Health Services, Frank Fekete, chairman of the Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center Joint Venture Board, Tim O'Brien, COO of Mountainside Medical Center, Glen Ridge Mayor Stuart K. Patrick and Montclair Mayor Robert D. Jackson.

"This project is intended to improve the community's access to quality care by providing extended office hours, free valet parking, and new full-time specialists' practices, in areas such as rheumatology and otolaryngology, among others, which have been lacking due to insufficient quality office space," said John A. Fromhold, CEO at Mountainside Medical Center. "We are actively recruiting new providers to help fill in these gaps and expect an additional 25 providers practicing in the building over the next two years."
