Principals of Dayton’s Norwood Medical may be expanding the company’s North Dayton campus with another building purchase.

An affiliate of one of Dayton’s bigger medical device manufacturers has bought the former Goodwill Industries property at 1511 Kuntz Road.

According to Montgomery County property records, Kuntz 2016 LLC bought the Kuntz Road property last month for $725,000. Goodwill-Easter Seals Miami Valley moved to a new building south of downtown, 660 S. Main St., in 2014.

The limited liability company that bought the property shares a 2122 Winner Circle address with Norwood Medical, a medical device manufacturer, county records show.

The former Goodwill location is near Norwood’s facility off Winners Circle north of Stanley Avenue. The building had been marketed as being a possible office or warehouse building with 40,000 square feet of office space. Norwood has several buildings in the area.

Another Norwood affiliate, KBK Eight Properties, was tied in 2014 to plans to build a 75,000-square-foot facility in the 2000 block of Webster Street. KBK Eight was owned Brian and Kenneth Hemmelgarn, of the family that owns Norwood Medical.

Norwood Medical in the last decade has spent millions of dollars improving its facilities and building new ones, adding hundreds of workers to its payroll.
