Following Qualidigm’s recent announcement that it would close its doors after more than 37 years in business, the national healthcare consulting firm has put its Wethersfield headquarters up for auction.
The 44,000-square-foot, four-story building at 936 Silas Deane Highway is scheduled for a three-day online auction (Oct. 19 to 21) run by Ten-X Commercial.
Qualidigm bought the property, which was built in 1970 and renovated in 2015, in late 2016 for $2.1 million, according to local land records.
The brick-and-glass building, which sits on 1.8 acres, has been listed for sale in recent months by Colliers International at an asking price of just under $4 million.
The starting bid price in the upcoming auction is set at $800,000, according to Ten-X.
The auction will come about six weeks after Qualidigm’s announcement that its board of directors had voted to dissolve the not-for-profit, determining it was no longer financially sustainable.
The company blamed a “business slowdown due to COVID-19, a shift in the federal administration’s focus, dramatic delays and reductions in federal funding.”
Qualidigm was incorporated in 1983 at CT Peer Review Organization Inc. It adopted the Qualidigm name in 1998.
