Anchor Health Properties Completes 17,940 SF Renovation of Bayhealth Heart & Vascular Institute on Kent Campus in Dover, DE
Anchor Health Properties has completed a 17,940-square-foot renovation of the Bayhealth Heart & Vascular Institute located on the Kent Campus at 560 S. Governors Avenue in Dover, Delaware, the firm announced. The fully outpatient facility opened to patients on March 24, 2026, marking the latest collaboration between Anchor and Bayhealth, the largest health system in central and southern Delaware.
Project Scope and Facility Details
Anchor Health Properties served as developer in a fee-for-service capacity and as owner's representative for Bayhealth throughout the design and construction process. The renovation revitalizes a former building that was vacated following the opening of Bayhealth at Blue Hen — a separate facility also redeveloped by Anchor — and repositions the space to support the growth and consolidation of Bayhealth's cardiovascular services on its Kent Campus.
The completed facility features exam rooms, a cardiac diagnostic center with two nuclear medicine cameras, three echocardiogram rooms, three vascular rooms, and two stress labs. By bringing these services together under a single institute, the project is designed to simplify patient navigation, reduce confusion, and establish a consistent identity across Bayhealth's cardiovascular practices.
The project team included Becker Morgan Group, which provided architecture and civil engineering services, and Wohlsen Construction, which served as general contractor.
Anchor Health Properties and Bayhealth Partnership
"Our long-standing partnership with Bayhealth has always been rooted in a shared commitment to patient-centric care," said Matt Pirolli, Vice President Development at Anchor Health Properties. "With the Heart & Vascular Institute, that alignment was especially clear. Renovating this facility to unify and enhance Bayhealth's cardiovascular services allowed us to deliver a space that truly supports their mission — providing exceptional care while creating a seamless experience for patients."
Justin Istenes, Senior Director of Construction at Anchor Health Properties, added: "Bayhealth has made a long-term commitment to advancing cardiovascular care in central and southern Delaware, and we are honored to help bring that vision to life. By transforming this existing on-campus outpatient facility, we've created a welcoming healing environment that supports collaboration among clinicians and enhances the overall care experience. It's a meaningful investment in both the campus and the community it serves."
Campus Context
The Bayhealth Heart & Vascular Institute project involves the repurposing of underutilized on-campus space to support Bayhealth's cardiovascular services. The renovation of the building on the Kent Campus follows Anchor's prior redevelopment work at Bayhealth at Blue Hen, reflecting an ongoing relationship between the two organizations.
No financial terms for the Dover project were disclosed. The engagement was structured as a fee-for-service development and owner's representative arrangement, not an ownership acquisition by Anchor.
