DENVER, Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita
HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a leading independent medical
group in America and leading provider of kidney care services,
today announced the company is expanding its footprint in downtown
Denver and will build a new space
at 2001 16th St.
The new building will be up to 410,000 square feet, with DaVita
leasing 265,000 square feet of space. This will allow for 1,200
additional DaVita HealthCare Partners teammates. The structure will
be positioned directly across 16th Street from DaVita's
original headquarters building, creating a unique urban campus
environment in Denver's lower
downtown area.
"Today is an exciting day. We continue to grow, while providing
some of the best clinical outcomes in the country," said DaVita
HealthCare Partners Chairman and CEO Kent
Thiry. "When we moved to Denver, we were confident that we would find a
place for our new corporate headquarters. What we
underestimated was that we would find a community that aligns so
well with our own values."
"When you recruit a headquarters to your state, you do
everything you can to ensure they're successful and grow," said
Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper. "With DaVita, we also
welcomed a devoted community partner. Their support has benefited
everything from our schools to business development to hundreds of
charities and non-profits. We are delighted with their announcement
today and proud they call Colorado
home."
DaVita's headquarters building, completed in 2012, was the first
corporate build-to-suit project located in the Denver central business district in the past
35 years. Since moving from Los
Angeles to Denver in 2010,
the company has created more than 1,500 local jobs, added millions
to the local economy and has placed DaVita HealthCare Partners
leaders on the boards of nearly 40 nonprofit entities throughout
the city.
"In just a few short years, DaVita has become a vital part of
Denver's economy and our
community," Denver Mayor
Michael B. Hancock said.
"Denver is proud of DaVita's
success and excited the company will continue to grow and thrive
here. DaVita has played a key role in Lower Downtown's resurgence
as a vibrant hub for innovative businesses. This next chapter for
DaVita and Denver is set to build
on that momentum."
"The local talent, active community, and beautiful landscape
have made Denver a great home for
us," said DaVita Kidney Care CEO, Javier
Rodriguez. "We are excited to grow with this fantastic
city."
The architect of record is the Gensler Firm. BuildMark
Construction will provide construction management services and the
leasing entity and property owner is East West Partners.
"DaVita truly put Denver on the
map as a destination for business and corporate headquarters," said
Chris Frampton, managing partner at
East West Partners. "DaVita has been an incredible partner
with others in lower downtown Denver and in creating what Union Station is
today. Their commitment to downtown has had and will continue to
have a significant impact."
Groundbreaking for the new building is scheduled for July of
2016.
