athenahealth,
Inc.ATHN, a leading provider of cloud-based services and mobile tools
for medical groups and health systems, today announced new office openings in
Atlanta, Georgia, and San Francisco, California. As part of athenahealth's
national growth strategy, the company is increasing its foothold in major
health care and technology markets to meet the diverse needs of its growing
client base.
athenahealth has more than 3,300 employees and is headquartered in Watertown,
Massachusetts with additional offices in Belfast, Maine; Princeton, New
Jersey; Durham, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and Chennai, India.
As part of the expansion, athenahealth has redeveloped and outfitted
approximately 75,000-square-feet of office space in Ponce City Market,
formerly the historic Sears, Roebuck and Co. building, in Atlanta's famous Old
Fourth Ward. The loft office space is part of an adaptive reuse project that
will revitalize the area. At the heart is a marketplace, expected to be
completed in 2015, that will feature an artisan-inspired food hall and market,
shops, as well as residential apartments. Over the next three years,
athenahealth plans to draw on the city's strong talent pool to fill 600
positions in operations, sales, and client services.
On the west coast, athenahealth will make its home at 50 Hawthorne, a
56,000-square-foot, three-floor modern building in downtown San Francisco's
South of Market (SOMA) district. As one of the company's creative hubs, it
will house user experience designers, developers, and project managers with a
focus on mobile innovation.
"Ponce City Market and 50 Hawthorne both embody all things athenahealth, and
also reflect the feel and vibrancy of each city," said Kristi Matus, chief
financial and administrative officer, athenahealth. "As we work to connect
care and drive meaningful and measurable results for our growing network of
clients, we are expanding our national foothold to meet their needs. Our
people are our most precious resource. Selecting strategic sites in key urban
markets across the country opens up possibilities and helps us attract
exciting new talent and resources, as well as affords us opportunities to host
more prospects and clients."
In March of this year, athenahealth also announced its intentions to redevelop
Austin's Seaholm Power Plant, which will serve as the company's flagship
research and development (R&D) hub. By 2024, athenahealth plans to bring
approximately 800 software development and R&D jobs to Austin, Texas.
Renovation of the Seaholm Power Plant is scheduled to be completed this
November.
