The center is part of a larger development by Kaleida Health and several UBMD physician practices who are working with Ciminelli Development Corp. to build 716 Health, a 160,000-square-foot, multitenant medical facility off Maple Road near the Northtown Center ice skating facility.
According to a new certificate of need application filed with the State Department of Health, the $25 million project includes building a 38,000-square-foot facility with seven operating rooms and another seven procedure rooms.
The facility at 111 Maplemere Drive should be busy: More than 40 physicians have submitted letters of interest to perform more than 11,000 procedures annually at the site. That would put it among the five largest centers in the region for total volume of procedures.
