TORRANCE, Calif., May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA), one of the nation's largest and most innovative health care communities, today announced it will move its HealthCare Partners division California offices from Torrance to a new 185,000 square foot location in El Segundo.

"This is an investment in our teammates at HealthCare Partners," said Kent Thiry, co-chairman and CEO of DaVita HealthCare Partners. "We believe in a truly differentiated work environment, and this new workspace reflects that mindset."

The new location – two adjoining buildings at 2120 Park Place and 2175 Park Place in El Segundo – is just a short walk from DaVita Kidney Care's central business office at 601 Hawaii Street.

Roughly 800 HealthCare Partners teammates will work in the new El Segundo location in a large, open floor plan that allows greater access to natural light and creates a more collaborative environment on a campus setting. The location also offers easy access to public transportation, sitting a short five-minute walk away from the Douglas Metro station. Numerous shopping and dining options are also convenient to the buildings.

"We are creating a modern, progressive feel in our workspace which is intended to match the culture of our organization," said Joe Mello, chief operating officer at HealthCare Partners. "This is the type of working environment our teammates deserve."

Design and construction of the new location are underway with an expected move-in date by the end of 2015.
