A Catholic hospital chain has bought a huge donut-shaped office building in Douglas County last used by a call center operator.
CommonSpirit Health paid $45.5 million this month for the 270,000-square-foot building at 9197 S. Peoria St., according to public records. That works out to about $168 a square foot.
Chicago-based CommonSpirit was formed by the 2019 merger of Colorado-based Catholic Health Initiatives and California-based Dignity Health. Its local hospitals include St. Anthony in Lakewood, St. Anthony North in Westminster and Longmont United.
Contacted by BusinessDen, CommonSpirit acknowledged the transaction but wasn’t able to make an executive available for comment by press time.
The building at 9197 S. Peoria St. sits just south of E-470, east of Interstate 25. It was built in 1999, sits on 21 acres and includes a 750-seat auditorium, gym and cafe, according to marketing materials, which didn’t include an asking price. The structure wraps around a park-like courtyard space.
The building was constructed for Tele-Communications Inc., which was purchased in 1999 by AT&T. In the early 2000s, it was purchased by call center operator TeleTech Holdings, which now goes by the name TTEC.
TTEC operated at the buildings for more than two decades, but in 2023 listed a new corporate headquarters address in its public filings — the Tuscany Plaza building at 6312 S. Fiddler’s Green Circle in Greenwood Village.
TTEC spokeswoman Meredith Matthews said in an email Thursday that the company moved because after “the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in new ways of working.”
“We established a Center for Experience and Innovation in Greenwood Village, soon after the end of the pandemic, and our Colorado-based employees work from there when they come to the office,” Matthews said.
That office, which TTEC leases, is 38,000 square feet, Matthews said. That’s 85 percent smaller than the Douglas County building.
