NCH acquires Arlington Heights building

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS - Avison Young recently negotiated the acquisition of a 123,944-square-foot office building at 3040 Salt Creek Lane in Arlington Heights for Northwest Community Healthcare.

Avison Young Executive Vice President Mark Johnson, a health care specialist located in the Chicago office, represented Northwest Community Healthcare in the purchase of the property. The sale price was not disclosed.

NCH is moving operations from its nearby 3060 Salt Creek Lane property, where it occupied 50,000 square feet. Avison Young has also been engaged to oversee the disposition of the former office facility on behalf of NCH.

"With the purchase of 3040 Salt Creek, NCH has more than doubled its business support square footage," Johnson said. "This allows the organization toconsolidate its nonclinical financial and support services within one strategic location, increasing workflow efficiency and cost effectiveness."

NCH has started a phased, move-in process into the new property. Known as the health system's Shared Services Center, the facility will house nonclinical business operations and support services staff.

"We're thrilled to be able to house all of our nonclinical staff and services under one roof," said Stephen Scogna, CEO of NCH. "Our new Shared Services building is right next door to our former Business Center, which makes the most sense for our employees who will have an identical commute but more ample parking and a larger space with room to grow."
