New Medical Office Opens Near Montclair, Glen Ridge Border

MONTCLAIR, NJ — Officials recently cut the ribbon for a “state-of-the-art” medical office building at the former School of Nursing site across from Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center.

Located on the border of Montclair and Glen Ridge, the three-story, 45,735-square-foot building was developed by The Hampshire Companies with Circle Squared Alternative Investments serving as the project advisor.

According to a statement from the Hampshire Companies:

“The state-of-the-art facility will provide increased access to quality care for the community providing a home for a variety of Hackensack Meridian Health’s specialty groups at Mountainside Medical Center including obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, family medicine, urology, general surgery, cardiology, orthopedics, ENT, pulmonary, GI, endocrinology, pediatrics and pediatric subspecialists from the John M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center.”

According to its developers, the project will allow the hospital to continue to attract and retain high-quality doctors and specialists.

“This project is intended to improve the community’s access to quality care by providing extended office hours, free valet parking, and new full time specialists’ practices, in areas such as rheumatology and otolaryngology, among others, which have been lacking due to insufficient quality office space,” said John Fromhold, CEO at Mountainside Medical Center.

“We are actively recruiting new providers to help fill in these gaps and expect an additional 25 providers practicing in the building over the next two years,” Fromhold said.
