Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper Welcomes Trizetto Worldwide Headquarters and Up to 750 New Jobs
5 April 2012
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper today joined Trace Devanny,
chairman and CEO of The TriZetto Group, Inc., and Mike Fitzgerald,
president and CEO of the Southeast Business Partnership, to
announce that TriZetto will build its new worldwide headquarters in
the Meridian International Business Center in Douglas County,
Colorado. The facility will help accommodate 550 to 750 new jobs at
TriZetto over the next five years and generate 400 to 500
construction jobs.
"As companies like TriZetto grow and expand in Colorado, we
further solidify Colorado as the best state to do business," said
Gov. Hickenlooper. "TriZetto recognized Colorado's highly educated
workforce, healthcare and technology industry sector strength,
expansive pool of local talent from area colleges, and accessible
location for visiting clients. We are committed to helping
businesses grow and thrive here, and we look forward to seeing more
businesses expand in Colorado."
TriZetto provides information technology solutions that help
healthcare payers and providers achieve compliance, enhance
efficiency and collaborate to deliver better health. TriZetto
solutions touch over half the U.S. insured population and reach
more than 21,000 physician practices. With some 3,300 associates
and offices across the globe, TriZetto has been headquartered in
Denver since July 2010. In addition to creating hundreds of new
jobs in Colorado, TriZetto's worldwide headquarters will bring up
to $250 million of capital investment in the state over the next
five years, as well as $70 million in worker pay annually, money
that will be reinvested largely in Colorado's economy.
"I strongly believe our new worldwide headquarters is a win-win
for both Colorado and for TriZetto," said Devanny. "For TriZetto,
it means continued success fueled in part by Colorado's welcoming
business community and impressive workforce. For Colorado, it means
more jobs - professional, high-quality, high-tech jobs in the
growing healthcare IT sector. Colorado will be home to one of the
nation's largest healthcare IT companies. TriZetto plays a vital
role in improving the cost and quality of healthcare, a $2.8
trillion industry that presents this country's greatest
challenge."
The build-to-suit, 165,000-square-foot headquarters in the
Meridian International Business Center will be built by the Opus
Group and owned and managed by Lexington Realty Trust. TriZetto
will lease the building as its sole tenant. Construction will be
completed early next year, and employees will move into the new
facility in spring 2013.
"TriZetto's commitment to expanding in Colorado demonstrates
that our state is a premier business destination, and that our
efforts to attract, retain and grow jobs here are working," said
Ken Lund, executive director of the Colorado Office of Economic
Development and International Trade.
Other companies contracted to help in developing the new
building are Newmark Knight Frank Global Corporate Services, Open
Studio Architecture, Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight
Frank, Cassidy Turley Fuller Real Estate, Interior Architects, and
Catalyst Planning Group.
