1 of 3

Hartford's STV|DPM, formerly Diversified Project Management, says completion is nearing on a 37,000-square-foot, $15 million medical-office building in Danbury's CenterCity development.

STV|DPM said it provided owner's project management services including finance and budget management, as well as construction administration/observation and commissioning for the Connecticut Institute for Communities (CIC) of the building at 120 Main St. for use by its Greater Danbury Community Health Center.

Greater Danbury Community Health will occupy the lower floors, with CIC's administrative offices on the top floor, officials said.

The new community health center facility, at the corner of Main and Boughton streets, will house clinical medical services, behavioral health services and CIC administration offices, CIC said. It includes a pharmacy and easy access to parking and public transportation, and is projected to serve about 20,000 patients annually.

Verdi Construction of Bethel was general contractor. Farmington's Quisenberry-Arcari Architects and Waterbury's Studio Q Architects designed the building. 

In addition to state and federal tax credits, the project also received a $4 million grant from the state Department of Community and Economic Development, STV|DPM said.

Union Savings Bank of Danbury and Boston's Eastern Bank of Boston provided mortgage financing.
