NEW YORK CITY-Montefiore Medical Center announced on Wednesday plans to build a new 11-story, 93,000-square-foot medical building in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.
Construction on the new building will begin on Nov. 1 and will take about 18 months to finish. The one-stop health-care facility that will combine urgent, primary and specialty care services, will offer cardiology, nephrology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, cancer infusion and radiology services. The facility will be leased from Bronx-based Simone Healthcare Development and will be operated in partnership with Westmed Practice Partners, which will provide administrative and technological support, as well as operational and financial services, according to Crain's New York Business.
"Montefiore and Westmed continue to be innovators in the hospital industry, leading the way toward the new outpatient service focused model," Joseph Simone, president of Simone Development, stated. "We're pleased to contribute to the future of health care by working with one of New York's finest medical professionals in the planning, development, and management of new ambulatory care facilities."
Montefiore and Simone also are developing a 280,000-square-foot building at the Hutchinson Metro Center campus in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx that is projected to be completed in in the third quarter of 2014. See story in Crain's New York Business.
