Front Range Orthopedics & Spine set to break ground on new Longmont building

LONGMONT — Front Range Orthopedics & Spine is set to break ground on a two-story, 32,000-square-foot medical building in southern Longmont.

The $12 million building will be constructed on 3.35 acres at 1600 Dry Creek Drive in the Front Range Health & Wellness Center being developed by Denver-based Macy Development Co. LLC. The property is on the west side of Colorado Highway 119.

A group of doctors who practice at Front Range Orthopedics & Spine led by president Timothy J. Pater are partnering on the project and have the land under contract. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for May 19.

Solar Operations and Maintenance for Commercial Properties

One key qualification to consider when selecting a solar partner to install your system is whether they have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) or service department. Since solar is a long-term asset with an expected lifecycle of 30 plus years, ongoing O&M should be considered up front. A trusted O&M partner will maximize your system’s energy output and therefor the return on your investment.

Front Range Orthopedics & Spine has been leasing space since 2002 in a medical building at 1551 Professional Lane at the northeast corner of U.S. Highway 287 and Pike Road in southeast Longmont. The practice will move from that location once the new building is completed, according to company spokeswoman Christine Dominick.

The doctors’ group has hired Fort Collins-based Brinkman Partners to construct the building and Boulder Associates’ architects to design it.

The building will house 10 orthopedic specialists, have two surgical suites, ambulatory services and a 2,000-square-foot area devoted to physical therapy.

Eight of those doctors make up the group that will own the building and land. The group includes Pater, William P. Cooney, Robert E. FitzGibbons, Matthew R. Gerlach, Gregg A. Koldenhoven, Curtis L. Leonard, Nirav R. Shah and Peter D. Wood. The two other physicians that will practice at the new building are Drs. George W. Chaus and Gerald R. Rupp.

Financing is being handled through First National Bank.
