Large Medical Provider Buys Vacant Farmington Office Building: Report

FARMINGTON, CT — One of the state's largest medical providers has reportedly purchased a large vacant office building in Farmington for a yet-to-be-disclosed development.

According to the Hartford Business Journal, Hartford Healthcare earlier this month purchased 9 Farm Springs Road in Farmington for $14.25 million.

The building, according to online real estate information, was built in the early 1980s and sits on a 13.3-acre parcel.

Four stories, the site was renovated in 2004, and features 136,428 square feet of office space and 545 available parking spaces, according to real estate listings.

Currently, the site is vacant, according to CommercialCafe.com.

Hartford Healthcare spokesperson Rebecca Stewart, who is vice president of content strategy, confirmed the sale and said the medical provider plans to move existing office operations to the new Farmington site.

“Hartford HealthCare is constantly evaluating its real estate strategy. As part of that ongoing process, Hartford HealthCare has worked to bring together many different offices and leases into strategically located system support offices across the state," she told Patch in a statement.

"Moving different offices to one location at 9 Farm Springs creates a more engaging work environment, lowers operating and utility costs and generates millions in savings in overhead, while freeing up important clinical space for patients. The new location is projected to reduce the overall footprint by almost 60 percent.

"We work to be good stewards of the properties we own and lease, and are proud to be contributing members of the local community and economies.”
