ChenMed subsidiary ChenTech, which develops software applications for physicians, hospitals and clinics, recently announced the establishment of a new software development center in Place St. Charles. This new office is expected to employ about 50 people; most of them computer programmers and should be fully staffed by the end of the year.

ChenMed has experienced rapid growth, expanding to a primary care network of more than 35 locations in six states: Chen Neighborhood Medical Centers in Florida and JenCare Neighborhood Medical Centers in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia and Louisiana. ChenMed launched ChenTech in 2011 so that the company could begin sharing proven medical technology tools they have been pioneering for decades.

Represented by Corporate Realty, Place St. Charles at 201 St. Charles Avenue is located in the heart of downtown New Orleans’ financial district, and only one block from the world-renowned French Quarter. The 52 floors of Place St. Charles offer 1,004,000 total square feet of class A space.  Bennett Davis, Director of Leasing for Place St. Charles for Corporate Realty, said, “We are excited that ChenTech chose Place St. Charles for its New Orleans office.  The environment here lends itself very well to the tech industry, which is evident not only by ChenTech’s commitment but also to the substantial commitment made recently  by GE Capital.”
