Today CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) announced that Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Plaza has opened at Friendly Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. The new center was developed in a joint venture with Davis Moore Capital. Representatives from CBL and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist marked this occasion last week with a ribbon cutting and community celebration.

“We are thrilled to welcome Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist to the Friendly Center campus,” said Stephen Lebovitz, chief executive officer, CBL Properties. “Friendly Center’s dominant position in the market makes it an ideal location for a medical office building. Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist will draw significant daily traffic and complements the existing offerings at the property.”

The more than 20,000 square foot building sits on the site of the former Romano’s Macaroni Grill located at 3120 Northline Ave. Services include family medicine, imaging, and urgent care as well as onsite health care providers, trained in pediatrics, to care for children.

“Friendly Center has a long history as a favorite retail area in Greensboro,” said Dr. David Zaas, president of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. “Our presence here will be a great convenience to those who live and work in this part of Greensboro and will help us better meet the area’s growing healthcare needs.”

Added Lebovitz, “Over the last several years, we’ve added nine medical uses to our portfolio and have several others in the pipeline. These additions illustrate our ongoing commitment to diversifying our shopping centers to include a variety of uses to meet the needs of the markets we serve.”
