Kettering Health Network officials say the nonprofit doesn’t have immediate plans for land it bought near Cornerstone of Centerville development for $1.8 million.

The rapidly growing health system, with $1.75 billion in revenue in 2017, bought 10.5 acres near Cornerstone North Boulevard and Wilmington Pike.

The property is about one mile from Miami Valley Hospital South, which is operated by competitor Premier Health.

A spokeswoman for Kettering Health said there isn’t a plan at this time for what to do with the land.

The land is on the corner of a block transformed in recent years into the Cornerstone of Centerville, which is a mix of shops, restaurants, a hotel and professional office. The development by Oberer Companies is still being built in phases.

Greene County property records show the property sold in July and then again Dec. 31.

Kettering Health has been adding facilities and buying land around the region.
