Richland medical practice to move into site on Jadwin Avenue

A Richland OB-GYN bought a building not far from his current

clinic and will move into a newly remodeled facility this summer.

Dr. Richard Lorenzo has seen patients at 1050 Gilmore Ave.,

Suite A, since August 2015.

His new practice will be at 1045 Jadwin Ave., almost

directly behind the space Lorenzo has been renting on Gilmore, on land

originally owned by the federal government in the 1950s.

The building was recently purchased for $795,000 by

Lorenzo’s real estate holding company, Issoma LLC.

“Just like with housing, it’s smarter to own than rent,”

said Kerry Lorenzo, Richard’s wife and marketing assistant for Complete

Healthcare for Women.

“The building had been for sale for quite a while,” Kerry

said. “We couldn’t find somewhere to build brand new and as close to Kadlec as

he wanted to be. So this was the right fit for both the location and need.”

Complete Healthcare for Women will move into a 5,500-square-foot portion of the building that’s been vacant for a while.

The space is about 1,200 square feet larger than Lorenzo’s

current clinic.

Two other tenants are in the 8,400-square-foot Jadwin

building and will remain there, including Spink Engineering and the Richland

Education Association.

Renovations valued at $350,000 are just getting underway by

Tri-Rivers Construction Services of Kennewick.

The building is more than 25 years old, and both exterior

and interior updates are planned.

Kerry said the intention is to create a “classy, spa-like”

atmosphere for patients.

The doctor recently bought a new laser that can perform

tattoo and hair removal, and the new services will be offered in the new

location.

The practice may use more of the vacant space and hire an

aesthetician, if the cosmetic procedures prove popular.

Kerry said the intent is to have the renovations finished

and the move completed by early summer.
