Hilltop Community Resources announced plans to purchase a building in downtown Grand Junction to combine in one location various offices, departments and programs.

Hilltop reached an agreement to buy a building at 359 Main St. that previously housed Wells Fargo Bank. Bray Commercial Real Estate listed the property for $5.9 million.

The 52,000-square-foot office building sits on 1.86-acres and includes nearly 100 parking spaces.

Mike Stahl, chief executive officer of Hilltop Community Resources, said the downtown building will be large enough to consolidate multiple facilities, including the family resource center located at 11th Street and Colorado Avenue.

The center serves about 2,400 people a year. Increasing demand for services prompted plans to expand programs and staffing. But the organization faced the structural limitations of remodeling a 99-year-old building, Stahl said. “As good stewards of our resources, we identified a more cost-effective solution by contracting to purchase the Wells Fargo Bank building.”

The downtown building will accommodate most of the family resource center services as well as corporate and information technology offices. More than 100 employees are expected to work in the building.

Housing multiple programs and departments under one roof will enhance collaboration, Stahl said. The larger facility will increase teamwork and learning, foster inclusivity and support a professional employee experience. The high visibility location on Main Street will encourage community engagement while providing easy access to public transportation, he said.

Founded in 1950, Hilltop Community Resources provides a range of human service programs ranging from prenatal health care to assisted living communities for older adults.
