WellNow, an urgent care provider in the region, will open a new facility in Saratoga Springs after the first of the year.
The shuttered Boston Market on South Broadway, near the intersection with Circular Street, is being renovated by the company.
Developer Devin Dal Pos of Laker Development owns the lot. He said renovations are being completed by J. Luke Construction/.He said the layout for the new WellNow location is similar to other locations in the area, with a spacious reception area and six exam rooms. They will be able to perform some lab functions like X-rays and screenings, including COVID-19 testing.
“It is their standard facility, with all the amenities needed to provide urgent care. There is plenty of parking at this location, which will is also central and convenient for area residents,” said Dal Pos.
Dal Pos’s LLC, 204 Saratoga Broadway Partners, paid $1.6 million for the property in December 2019.
“WellNow is very savvy when it comes to choosing real estate, which is part of what has lead to their success,” said Dal Pos.
WellNow is working with St. Peter’s Health Partners to oversee the clinics across the area, including the new 2,832-square-foot Saratoga location.
Based in Buffalo, WellNow has locations in Latham and Niskayuna. Other facilities are planned for Glens Falls, Rotterdam, Troy, Gloversville, Rensselaer, Glenville, North Greenbush, Amsterdam and Cobleskill.
Construction at the Saratoga location is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Dal Pos said everything has been on schedule and they have not hit many delays through the COVID-19 pandemic.
