Catholic Health Initiatives Purchases Building at 198 Inverness Drive
Health System Expects Significant Savings from Investment
Catholic Health Initiatives, one of the nation’s largest faith-based health systems, has purchased the eight-story building at 198 Inverness Drive West that has served as its national headquarters since July 2010.
The purchase, which closed yesterday, provides a significant financial improvement for the non-profit health system. The purchase also provides CHI with significant flexibility for long-term planning. CHI paid $42 million for the building, which houses about 500 national employees.
“This represents a significant cost savings for the organization,” said Nick Barto, CHI’s senior vice president for capital finance. “Simply put, it improves CHI’s bottom line and lowers corporate overhead costs – especially at a time when rents are rising quickly in the Denver area. This was another opportunity to be good stewards of our financial resources.”
