Reliant Medical Group to begin construction on 32,000 s/f medical facility at MarketPlace Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury, MA The redevelopment of Fairlawn Plaza is moving forward as Reliant Medical Group readies to raze the former Price Chopper Supermarket and construct a new 32,000 s/f medical facility. Reliant will join Hooters that recently opened in the project rebranded as MarketPlace Shrewsbury.
Located on the north side of Rte. 9 at the signalized intersection of Maple Ave., the project spans 9 acres and provides access to Rte. 9 east and west and Maple Ave. and is close to I-190, 290 and 495 and state roads 20, 122, 70 and 140.
Demolition of the former supermarket will begin this month followed by commencement of new construction in May. Completion of the new facility is scheduled for February, 2019 with an opening scheduled the following month.
Reliant is a Worcester-based leading provider of high-quality healthcare with 25 locations throughout the state and is currently in the process of being acquired by Minnesota based Optum, which is a division of the $185 billion managed care conglomerate UnitedHealth Group.
Jim Umphrey, of Kelleher and Sadowsky brokered the transaction. Boston based Leggat McCall Properties represented the tenant in negotiations with project developer Sam Adams.
