Saratoga Hospital Plans to Expands in Queensbury

QUEENSBURY — At a Sept. 18 planning board meeting Columbia Development presented preliminary plans, on behalf of Saratoga Hospital, for medical offices to the Queensbury Planning Board. However, it was noted that Columbia Development and the Queensbury planning board are still only in the discussion stages of this project.

Saratoga Hospital Medical Group, the multi-specialty group practice, has seen patient growth north of the hospital’s main campus. This led to the August 2017 acquisition announcement by Saratoga Hospital of the former Carl R’s Mexican restaurant located at 124 Main St. in Queensbury.

“When the property became available, we decided the convenient location at exit 18 made this an excellent site to explore how we can best provide the medical specialty programs and services to meet the expanding need,” Angelo Calbone, President and CEO of Saratoga Hospital said in the acquisition announcement.

Columbia Development is proposing a 17,000 square-foot medical office building at the intersection of Main Street and Big Boom Road. The site area is 1.16 acres and may include .15 acres to be purchased from the town of Queensbury. Other entities noted in the plan include HCP Architects and BBL Medical Facilities, a contractor, both based out of Albany.

“The board looked at it, they didn’t see anything that was outstanding site plan wise; like the arrangement of the building, the lot, things like that...But other than that it’s really in a discussion stage, ”Laura Moore said,the Land Use Planner for the Town of Queensbury. She said that this is one opportunity the applicant has to go before the board to discuss, conceptually, what they propose for the lot.

Columbia Development would own the property and lease the offices to physicians. While it is not known what kind of physicians would be here, according to Moore, Columbia Development said they will probably not come before the planning board again until a majority of the leases are filled.
