Boulder Community Health to open primary-care clinic in former Alfalfa’s building

BOULDER — The former Alfalfa’s building at 1645 Broadway has its first new tenant: a Boulder Community Health primary-care clinic. 

The 10,125-square-foot clinic will be one of four new occupants of the former organic grocery store. It will consolidate two BCH primary-care clinics — Spruce Street Internal Medicine at 2575 Spruce St. and Dakota Ridge Family Medicine at 2995 Baseline Road — into one facility. Both of those had outgrown their current space, according to a BCH news release.

The new clinic will be named Anchor Point Primary Care Clinic after the Anchor Point Foundation, a charitable fund run by longtime Boulder residents Amy Batchelor and Brad Feld. The foundation recently donated $2 million to BCH to support physician and staff wellness efforts.

In preparation for Republic Services becoming the primary provider of residential recycling, yard trimmings, and trash, residents should now select the best cart size and service schedule for their household needs.

“This new location marks BCH’s return to Broadway, where our community health system started 100 years ago,” Larry Novissimo, vice president of ambulatory services for BCH, said in a prepared statement. “Both clinics have deep roots in the Boulder community, including hard-won and long reputations for excellent, patient-centered primary care. Conveniently located in West Central Boulder, our existing patients will still have ready access to the same doctors and primary care services close to home in a beautiful new location.”

The clinic is being designed by Boulder-based PEH Architects and constructed by Longmont-based Golden Triangle Construction Inc. It is expected to open in fall 2022.

The clinic will share the former Alfalfa’s space with a 15,423-square-foot retail space, a 6,056-square-foot retail space and 3,959-square-foot office space. Tenants for those have yet to be named. Alfalfa’s shut down its Boulder, Longmont and Louisville locations in early 2021 as the natural grocer fell behind on rent and payments to vendors. The property is owned by B’way Property LP. According to the leak in October of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ tax records, B’way Property LP is owned by the Polis family. The listing for the property is held by brokers Sam Zaitz, Adam Rubenstein and Sarah Alfano of international real estate services company Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.
