CLEARWATER, FL (June 4, 2012) –EmCare, a fast-growing provider of hospital-based physician services, is doubling its Clearwater office space. Currently at 128 employees in its Clearwater office, EmCare is expanding its 18,000± square-foot space to 37,796 square feet.
Alan Feldshue (top left photo), Managing Director of Office Services, and Melanie Jackson (top right photo), Senior Associate of Office Services for Colliers International Tampa Bay represented the landlord, AHC Metro Harbourside, in the lease expansion.
Mike Sharapata, John Ruskin and Chris Butler of Jones Lang LaSalle represented EmCare.
“This was a great opportunity for EmCare to grow at its current Class A location,” said Feldshue. “With the building’s new common area improvements underway, the recently added on-site café and the well-capitalized position of the building’s ownership, EmCare made the decision to simply expand the current space instead of moving to another building.”
EmCare contracts with more than 500 hospitals across the U.S. that outsource clinical department staffing and related services, and provides the hospitals with physicians and other clinicians for emergency rooms, inpatient services, operating rooms, and radiology.
Clinicians affiliated with EmCare have the opportunity to work in a mix of assignments in more than 40 states and are provided with administrative support to allow them to focus on their patients. The Clearwater offices provide support services to those facilities and practices.
“When our current Clearwater building presented an opportunity to expand on two floors, we decided to take advantage because of the location of the building and available parking,” said Terry Meadows (lower right photo), M.D., CEO of EmCare’s South Division. “Our need to expand is due to growth we are experiencing both organically and through acquisition.”
Harbourside is owned by The AHC Private Equity Real Estate Funds, a unit of Arthur Hill & Co., LLC, based out of Chicago, IL. “All AHC Fund buildings are managed to deliver a preferred environment for our valued tenants and we believe this mission was realized by EmCare’s expansion,” said Rob Gilbert, Director of Asset Management for AHC.
Located at 18167 U.S. 19 in Clearwater, the 153,586-square-foot Harbourside building is now 82 percent occupied.
