A group of private physician practices are proposing a $70 million medical center and mixed-use development on Route 9 in Wilton.<\/p>\n
The proposal was put forth by OrthoNY, Albany ENT & Allergy Services, Schenectady Saratoga Gastroenterology Associates, Capital Cardiology Associates and Community Care Physicians.<\/p>\n
Plans call for building a 116,000-square-foot medical center at 611-623 Maple Ave., just south of Minogue\u2019s Beverage Center, along with a 130-unit apartment and commercial development across the street at 631 Maple Ave.<\/p>\n
The practices are partnering with Rich Paulsen of Paulsen Development, Lansing Engineering and BBL Construction Services on the project.<\/p>\n
The group presented the plans to the Wilton Town Board in July. Plans include a two-story medical center at a cost of $30 million that will feature multiple medical and surgical practices. Services ranging from complex surgery\u00a0 <\/span>to pediatrics would be available, officials said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The medical center would be a 116,000-square-foot structure at 611-623 Maple Ave. The 130-unit apartment and commercial development would be situated across the street at 631 Maple Ave. The residential component would include workforce\u00a0 <\/span>housing among the 10 two-story apartment buildings. The goal is to have market-rate housing for nurses, x-ray technicians and other staff who would work at the medical center and may not be able to afford high rents elsewhere.<\/p>\n The board was told the development would be made up of some traditional apartments and some townhome-style units with garages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>Each of the practices in the Wilton medical center would be investors in the project, and have the option to invest in the mixed-use development as well. Officials said the model will allow independent physician practices like OrthoNY to stay independent.<\/p>\n The next step for the Wilton project is to do a traffic study. There will be more meeting with town officials before all approvals are in line.<\/p>\n If approved, it is estimated the medical center project might be completed sometime in 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A group of private physician practices are proposing a $70 million medical center and mixed-use development on Route 9 in Wilton.
