Westport Center for Health opens following renovation

The Westport Center for Health is now open following the completion of a substantial renovation by The Davis Companies.

Located at 321-329 Riverside Ave. in Westport, the 38,000-square-foot, Class A medical office center is now officially open as leases have been signed with Village Pediatrics and Women”™s Health Connecticut to provide care in the new health center.

Representatives for the developer declined to provide a dollar figure for the amount of investment that went into the renovation, but the health center now represents the largest assemblage of medical space in Westport, according to the developer.

The Davis Companies, a real estate investment, development and management firm headquartered in Boston, envisions the space as a unique “one stop shop” health center for the area.

“We recognized an opportunity to create a high-quality medical office campus unlike any other in Fairfield County. This property now fills a need for premier medical office space,” David Allen, vice president of asset management for The Davis Companies, said. “We look forward to welcoming additional healthcare providers to this Class A campus.”

The developer purchased the building’s loan before lifting it out of foreclosure in November 2012. A capital improvement plan was launched, including 77 garage spaces, improved landscaping, roof repairs, a signage program, exterior siding repairs and painting as well as a completely renovated lobby.
