The announcement was made Monday.
The St. Luke's Nampa medical plaza will be the featured tenant in a $25 million medical and retail complex project being developed by Gardner Ahlquist Development.
The building is located on 35 acres of land north at the corner of Midland Boulevard and Cherry Lane.
The facility will feature a full-service, 24-hour, St. Luke's emergency department staffed by Emergency Medicine of Idaho, which currently provides care at St. Luke's emergency departments in Boise and Meridian.
The project represents a $30 million investment in the City of Nampa, the city says, and will create 300 new jobs when completed.
"The new jobs created by St. Luke's and Saltzer Medical will breathe new life into Nampa and help to create diversity within our economy," said Nampa Economic Development Director, Cliff Long. "This is exactly what Nampa's economy needs right now."
St. Luke's will lease approximately 40,000 square feet in the project's initial 120,000 square foot, three-story building. Construction on the plaza will begin this spring with an opening planned from spring 2012.
The building will also feature laboratory services, diagnostic and imaging services, medical office space for primary care clinics and out-patient rehabilitation services.
"St. Luke's has experienced a growing interest from the community and medical providers to offer additional services in the Nampa/Caldwell region," said Gary Fletcher, St. Luke's Treasure Valley CEO.
"St. Luke's has been working on expansion plans in this area for a number of years with community partners and we're pleased to see those efforts finally becoming a reality."
