HUNTLEY Advocate Health Care plans to build a new medical office building in Huntley, after the regional medical provider recently acquired six undeveloped acres near the Interstate 90 interchange, a property developer said.

Phillip Waters, vice president of development for Horizon Group, told the Northwest Herald that Horizon closed on the deal with Advocate earlier this winter.

Advocate plans to start construction on the new office building by the fall, as one of its competitors Centegra Health System continues to build a new hospital located on the north end of Huntley.

We are very excited to have them a part of the Huntley community, Waters said. Advocate is the largest health care provider in the state and a premier provider across the nation.

The six vacant acres are near the Huntley Corporate Park on the northwest corner of the I-90 interchange. Waters said he did not know Advocates specific plans for the area.

The health care provider paid fair market value for the vacant land, although Waters did not disclose the terms of the deal. An Advocate spokesperson did not return a request for comment Monday.

Advocates acquisition also follows Life Spine Inc.s recent move to Huntley. The medical device company in 2014 announced plans to move its corporate headquarters into a larger facility near the I-90 interchange.

Advocates medical office building would be located next to the Life Spines new headquarters, Waters said.
