MAINARDI GROUP ACQUIRES FORMER UNION HOSPITAL

UNION, N.J. — A group led by principals of The Mainardi Management Company has acquired the former Union Hospital building located in Union. The approximately 200,000-square-foot building is situated at 1000 Galloping Hill Ave. It was operated as Union Hospital from 1962 to 2007 but has been closed since then. The buyer is a joint venture between members of the Mainardi family, some of their business associates and a company controlled by Andrew Piscatelli III. The group is repositioning the property as Union Medical Park and already has leased some of the space to medical tenants. Overlook Hospital, a division of Atlantic Health Services, will operate an emergency room at the facility and is leasing additional space for outpatient programs. A 20,000-square-foot space within the facility will be leased as a surgery center, and several local physicians have leased office space for their practices. Finally, the local YMCA is leasing 19,000 square feet for an adult activities center. The acquisition price was not disclosed.
