Poughkeepsie-based Kirchhoff Companies is proposing to build the Fishkill Medical Park on part of an approximately 47-acre parcel along Snook Road in Fishkill, adjacent to Route 9 and I-84. New lot lines would be created at the site with the new lots that would be involved in the development amounting to approximately 32 acres. The company has submitted plans that are being reviewed by the Town of Fishkill’s Planning Board.
Kirchhoff is a real estate development, investment and asset management company that has partnered with medical groups, hospitals and physicians on a variety of other projects. It describes completed projects in the Hudson Valley that are similar in nature to the proposed Medical Park as including: Northern Dutchess Hospital’s expansion in Rhinebeck; CareMount Medical Group in Lake Katrine and Rhinebeck; HealthQuest at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie; Mount Kisco Medical Group in Poughkeepsie; and Premier Urology in Poughkeepsie.
The plans call for a two-story medical office building with a footprint of 15,388 square feet and a single-story medical office building with a footprint of 11,310 square feet together with associated utilities, parking and landscaping improvements.
Kirchhoff is seeking to redraw the lines of two existing lots into three lots. Lot 1 would consist of 20.44 acres and include the construction of the two-story building, associated utilities, parking and landscaping improvements. Lot 2 would consist of 11.70 acres and would include the construction of the single-story building. There are no development plans for Lot 3 that would consist of 15.67 acres.
“Our firm deeply respects the need to undertake a thorough planning process and is committed to working closely with the town and the community to make Fishkill Medical Park a leading health care destination that properly addresses the needs of Dutchess County residents while creating an attractive environment befitting of this unique location,” said Joseph Kirchhoff, founder and CEO of Kirchhoff Companies. “We look forward to working collaboratively with the Town of Fishkill and other stakeholders to ensure that the project significantly enhances medical access locally so that area families receive the quality healthcare they deserve.”
In describing the project, the company says, “a project like Fishkill Medical Park aligns with the company’s overall mission to create value in the local community. Kirchhoff has the skill set, expertise, and backing necessary to develop quality health care projects and sees this project as another win for Dutchess County.”
Kirchhoff Companies also says, “The demand for quality health care continues to rise, and patients deserve to have their health care needs met locally. Fishkill Medical Park will help to fill that demand with local doctors, nurses and other professionals.”
