AnMed to Occupy All of Former Windsor Place Shopping Center
Observer Reports
AnMed Health has broken ground on a sweeping new medical office complex at the site of the former Windsor Place shopping center (which once was home to Winn Dixie), at 1520 East Greenville Street—marking its latest expansion into prime real estate in Anderson and sparking both anticipation and concern within the community. While hospital officials tout the dramatic overhaul as a boon for local healthcare, some residents have questioned the health system’s rapid acquisition of high-profile properties across the city, wondering what the trend might mean for Anderson’s long-term development.
The redevelopment will span more than 82,000 square feet across 9.5 acres on Highway 81, in proximity to major retail anchors like Publix and Chick-fil-A. The new facility is designed to house several of AnMed’s growing departments, including Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Ear, Nose & Throat Care, Integrated Therapy, and Occupational Medicine, with a state-of-the-art outpatient imaging center equipped with advanced 3 Tesla MRI technology.
“This project is exciting and especially gratifying because it will accommodate the growth of our health system while delivering benefits to the community on multiple levels,” said William Kenley, CEO of AnMed. “Not only are we increasing capacity and access to care, but we’re also reinvigorating what had become a blighted area in a prominent corridor of Anderson.”
The first group to move in will be Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, expected to begin seeing patients next summer, with additional service groups opening in phases throughout the year.
The expansion will also mean changes for other AnMed practices, including the relocation of Heart & Vascular services to occupy all of 100 Healthy Way and the consolidation of Integrated Therapy locations into the Windsor Place site. Kenley emphasized that the renovations will breathe new life into a central stretch of town, opting for “energy and service rather than demolish and build anew”—aiming to preserve amenities while modernizing care options.
For Anderson, AnMed’s latest investment brings the promise of additional services and revitalized corridors, even as residents weigh the implications of a single provider’s growing footprint in the city’s landscape
