Clio Health is no longer involved in the unfinished $45 million building under construction since 2016 at the former Lancaster Stockyards site in Lancaster city.
The news comes following years of delays with little explanation to the public. A new tenant is expected to occupy the building, according to developer Robert Redcay. Redcay, however, is not ready to reveal who that is or when they will move in.
Redcay, principal of Brook Farms Development II LLC, which owns the property, declined to discuss his plans for the 144,000-square-foot building that sits on 18 acres at 1250 Marshall Ave. Redcay also is an investor in the parent company of the failed Clio Health project, which includes several other investors. At one point investors included about 20 physicians, LNP | LancasterOnline previously reported. Lancaster County tax records list Clio Health founder Essam Abadir as Brook Farms Development’s contact for the Marshall Avenue building.
In early pitches to officials, the Clio Health building was touted as bringing at least 100 new well-paying jobs to the city when completed. The facility was never outfitted and has stood empty for four years, with the developer pushing back deadlines.
Redcay said Tuesday he has a new tenant but declined to elaborate. He also declined to discuss his plans for the building.
In response to an inquiry from LNP | LancasterOnline, Clio Health’s chief product officer confirmed Wednesday that the company is no longer involved with 1250 Marshall Ave., but said Clio Health, now referred to as Clio GO, still intended to pursue projects that transform health care through technology.
