WALLINGFORD — Most of the space in a new North Main Street Extension building will be used by Wallingford Dialysis Care.

The business, owned by the Massachusetts-based American Renal Association, received approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission to change the use of the Corner Place building, 720 N. Main St. Extension, from office space to outpatient medical treatment.

Interior construction is underway. The business will use 7,500 square feet, leaving 2,500 square feet available. The business signed a 10-year lease with Verna Properties.

The dialysis center expects a maximum of 40 to 44 patients a day with no more than 20 cars using the parking lot at one time, according to Town Planner Kacie Costello.

Costello and Verna did not return a call for comment last week.

Corner Place was built in 2014 by an affiliate of Verna Properties and is located across from Community Pool and at the corner of Beaumont Road and North Main Street Extension.

The Proto Group, based out of North Haven, is looking for a tenant for the remaining space.

“Our first choice is to have a medical use in the building,” said Lou Proto, principal of the Proto Group,

“We’re open to any retail use, but we would prefer medical use.”

Economic Development Specialist Tim Ryan said he doesn’t think it will be difficult to find another tenant.

“When you have that combination: a good location, a brand new building and reputable landlords,” Ryan said, “you’ll find the right business.”
