NorthMarq Healthcare Advisory Group Represents Summit Orthopedics, LTD. in Move to New Woodbury Clinic 

New 27,000-sq.-ft. clinic plans to open in September 2009


MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 10, 2008) — Summit Orthopedics, Ltd., represented by Stephen H. Brown, CCIM, of NorthMarq Healthcare Advisory Group, has signed a long-term lease agreement for a new clinic location at Woodlake Office Park in Woodbury, Minn.

Summit’s new approximately 27,000-sq.-ft. clinic is a consolidation of four existing facilities in the Woodbury area. Kraus Anderson Construction Company is developing the two-story, 38,000-sq.-ft. building at the intersection of Lake Road and Woodwinds Drive, which will house the new clinic when it opens in September 2009.

“Summit’s goal with this project is to provide comprehensive orthopedics services to its patients from one location,” stated Brown. “We have been working with Summit on this consolidation for over three years and are so pleased to have a location that meets all their needs.”

NorthMarq evaluated multiple options, including existing facilities, and Summit ultimately decided that a build-to-suit alternative was the best option for its new clinic. The landlord is Kraus-Anderson Inc., who was represented by Jill Rasmussen of Cushman Wakefield. Pope Architects will provide exterior and interior architectural services for the project.

Summit Orthopedics has worked with Brown to provide real estate services for its real estate portfolio since 2004.

The NorthMarq Healthcare Advisory Group includes Stephen H. Brown, CCIM; Michael Fleetham, CCIM; Julie Yeazle, Julie Hillman and Christina Rodriquez.
