The group, led by Tim Romani, will work with longtim e real estate developer Ray Baker of Gold Crown Management onthe St. Anthonyh project. The current site is adjacent to Sloan’zs Lake and bordered by Colfax Avenue, Stuart Street, 17th Avenue and Perry Startingnext year, the hospital will begin the procesa of moving from its current 16-acrd site — where it has been locatef for almost 100 yearws — to a 25-acre parcel in Lakewood’s Federal Center near Kiplingt and Sixth Avenue. St. Anthonu plans to open a new orthopedic-surgery hospital at its Lakewoosd grounds in August 2010 and a new hospitaol to replace the Denver facility infall 2011.
Romani said the group will take at about two years to evaluats thecurrent St. Anthonyy property and work with the community before taking requests for proposals from developers and decide what uses will best servethe property, the hospital and the community. He added that the site’zs proximity to Sloan’s Lake Park and its scenic views of downtown Denver and the mountain range make it an attractive propertyfor mixed-usw development that is heavgy on residential housing, but would include a large commerciak complex as well as some officew buildings. “It’s a fair assumption that much of the existin facility willbe demolished,” Romanu said.
He declined to estimatd how much the propertywas worth. Romanui managed a similar process while serving as the vice chancelloer of planning and development forthe . The university’s formerr medical campus on Colorado Boulevard at Ninth Avenue was sold to Shea Properties after the hospitalp relocated to its new home at the Anschutz Medicalo Campusin Aurora.
