2009-08-20 Saint Mary’s Medical Facility to be Developed at Renaissance Place Contact: Jennifer Clement, Publications & Media Coordinator, (203) 709-6240 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WATERBURY, Conn. (August 21, 2009) – Saint Mary’s Health System and the Conroy Development Company today announced that Saint Mary’s has entered into an agreement to jointly evaluate the development of a medical facility as part of Renaissance Place. “We are delighted to work with Saint Mary’s Health System, a highly-regarded medical institution familiar to all in the region, to design and develop a major medical building as an anchor to Renaissance Place,” said Alexius C. Conroy, President of the Conroy Development Company. “A new medical center will provide a prominent location for Saint Mary’s to establish a state-of-the-art, outpatient facility and provide first-class space for doctors and other practitioners to consolidate their practices for the mutual benefit and convenience of their patients.” Saint Mary’s plans to consider the relocation of physician offices and its Health and Wellness Center, currently located in Crosspointe Plaza in Naugatuck, to Renaissance Place. The Health and Wellness center offers walk-in care for non-emergent illnesses and injuries, outpatient physical therapy services, as well as laboratory testing and x-ray services, with the convenience of evening and weekend hours. Additional healthcare services may be introduced in the future. “Saint Mary’s has been a part of the Naugatuck community for many years. Our first Health and Wellness Center opened on Rubber Avenue in 1987, but we have been providing quality care for Naugatuck residents since the hospital opened its doors in 1909,” said Chad W. Wable, President and Chief Executive Officer of Saint Mary’s Health System. “We are proud to be part of the Naugatuck community and look forward to this potential opportunity to expand and enhance our healthcare services at Renaissance Place.” Having a walk-in center for medical care, outpatient physical therapy services, as well as physician offices, is a natural fit for the development, which is being designed so that residents can easily walk to the coffee shop, grocery store, train station, or a doctor’s appointment. It will also enhance access to quality healthcare services for residents throughout Greater Waterbury. “This medical facility will draw patients from an extensive region who will become potential customers and patrons at restaurants and retailers in Naugatuck,” Conroy said, noting that one of the goals of Renaissance Place has been the development of a medical component. “Working with Saint Mary’s Health System, we will be able to exceed that goal and bring a regional medical facility to the heart of Naugatuck and the project.” “We couldn’t be happier about this opportunity to partner with the Conroy Development Company and Renaissance Place,” Wable said. “Saint Mary’s has been providing quality healthcare services for more than 100 years. As we enter our Second Century of Caring, we look forward to continuing to meet the needs of people living and working in Greater Waterbury, and helping to build healthier communities through projects like this one.” A $707-million, mixed-use, transit-oriented development, Renaissance Place encompasses 60 acres along the Naugatuck River in historic Naugatuck. It is the first project of its kind being designed to have a neutral carbon footprint, independent from the power grid, creating a healthy environment for residents to live, work and play. 2009-08-20 COLDWELL BANKER REAL ESTATE LAUNCHES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND INTERNATIONALHOME SEARCH APPLICATION FOR IPHONE AND ANDROID DEVICES First National Real Estate Brand to Offer Automatic Notifications of New Listings Through a Mobile Application PARSIPPANY, N.J. – August 20, 2009 –Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC today announced the launch of the first-ever international home search application for iPhoneTM and AndroidTM-powered devices.
