Live Poll

Would you trust a new urgent care clinic in your area for routine medical needs?

Cafua Realty Trust has received a demolition permit for the mostly vacant Santander Bank building at 161 North State Street in Concord. The site will be replaced by an 11,500-square-foot urgent care facility operated by Manchester Health Care LLC, a subsidiary of HCA Healthcare.

Why it matters

The redevelopment converts a long-vacant commercial property into a healthcare use, adding urgent care capacity in Concord. It follows a year-old planning board decision that removed a city right-of-way easement requirement for the 1.7-acre site.

The planned urgent care spans 11,500 square feet on a 1.7-acre parcel, part of a parent system that operates 190 hospitals in the U.S. and United Kingdom. The opening timeline and demolition schedule have not been disclosed.

The players

HCA Healthcare

HCA Healthcare is a Nashville-headquartered hospital operator that owns 190 hospitals in the U.S. and United Kingdom and runs more than 2,400 ambulatory sites of care.

Cafua Realty Trust

Cafua Realty Trust is the property owner that received the demolition permit for the former Santander Bank building in Concord.

The details

Cafua Realty Trust owns the 161 North State Street property at the corner of Penacook Street, where the Santander Bank building has been mostly shut for years. The trust received a demolition permit, and the site will be replaced by an urgent care medical facility run by Manchester Health Care LLC.

Years ago: City council canceled plans for the Langley Parkway extension.
A year ago: The planning board removed the city right-of-way easement requirement for the site.
This year: Nashua ER opened as a standalone emergency room at the former Leda Lanes bowling alley site in Nashua.

Market Landscape

Large hospital operators like HCA Healthcare have increasingly placed urgent care sites in standalone commercial buildings to capture outpatient demand outside traditional hospital campuses. The Concord project follows that pattern by converting a vacant bank branch into a medical facility.

Concord residents will gain a nearby urgent care option once the former bank site is redeveloped. The project may ease access to non-emergency medical care for households in the area.

The takeaway

Vacant commercial properties can be repurposed for healthcare use, and residents should watch for the facility's opening date. Checking local planning records can reveal project timelines as redevelopment moves forward.
