Muss Development LLC has signed Summit Health to a long-term, 12,379-square-foot lease at the developer’s shopping center located at 7000 Austin St. in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. With over 340 existing medical practice locations, the healthcare provider will bring facilities that specialize in ear, nose and throat services to Forest Hills. It plans to open this fall.
“We look forward to welcoming Summit Health to 7000 Austin St.,” said Jason Muss, president of Muss Development. “The office will bring additional high-quality specialty medical services to the residents of Forest Hills and nearby areas.”
Summit Health is a physician-driven, patient-centric network committed to simplifying the complexities of health care. Formed by the 2019 merger between Summit Medical Group, an independent physician-governed multispecialty medical group, and CityMD, a leading urgent care provider in the New York metro area, Summit Health delivers a more intuitive, comprehensive and responsive care experience for every stage of life and health condition through high-quality primary, specialty and urgent care, Muss said. Summit Health has more than 2,500 providers, 12,000 employees and over 340 locations in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Central Oregon.
Tenants at 7000 Austin St. include Target, Starbucks, T.G.I. Friday’s, Men’s Wearhouse, Elara Health and Achieve Beyond. Built by Muss Development, the 80,000 square foot property includes over 400 parking spaces and expanded to its current size in 1995.
