Overview

• Bids are due Oct. 7, with an Oct. 10 auction to proceed only if qualified bidders emerge, according to a court notice.
• Prospect requires bids with no contingencies, leaving any winner to absorb uncertain property-tax obligations.
• Crozer-Chester closed this spring after efforts to find a nonprofit operator failed, while Springfield shut down in 2022.
• The Springfield site carries layered ownership ties to Ventas and past dealings with Medical Properties Trust, alongside a township lawsuit alleging neglected maintenance and safety issues.
• Other Crozer assets have been parceled out, including Delaware County Memorial to the Upper Darby School District, Taylor Hospital to local investors, and five outpatient leases to ChristianaCare, and experts see likely bidders as real estate investors seeking medical tenants.
