The building’s timeless design, paired with Atkins Companies’ hands-on management and proactive capital investments, has continually cemented its role as an invaluable piece of the local area’s healthcare landscape over the last four decades.

Aiming to build upon its legacy of strategic investments into Atkins Kent 101, the new capital improvement project will modernize the building’s common areas to better meet the needs of today’s healthcare practitioners and their patients. The plan will include a complete renovation and modernization of the common areas and restrooms on the second, fourth and fifth floors.

“Our nearly 40 years of ownership at Atkins Kent 101 exemplifies how our collaborative and proactive approach to property management enables us to continually create healthcare spaces that support the vital care services our tenants provide to the local communities,” said Chick Atkins, Managing Principal at Atkins Companies. “Through this capital improvement plan, we are confident that we will be further enhancing Atkins Kent 101’s standing as the area’s premier medical office building, and a place our healthcare tenants can continue to be proud to call home for years to come.”
