MALO CLINIC Health & Wellness President Dr. Paulo Malo, of Lisbon, Portugal, is an inspiring international figure in the dental industry. He is credited with developing revolutionary surgical dental implant techniques utilized by many of the world's top oral surgeons and dentists. In 2007, he received the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award from INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools and in 2008 he was the recipient of other international awards in the field of dentistry.

Sweetwater specializes in the science and technology, hospitality, multi-family and institutional sectors, but in recent years has made a particular specialty of health care and surgery centers. The MALO CLINIC Ambulatory Surgery Center is the 14th surgery center the firm has built in New Jersey over the last five years.

The new facility will consist of the ambulatory surgery center and the advanced oral rehabilitation center, each on a separate floor. An additional one-half floor will be devoted to utilities. The ambulatory surgery center will consist of four operating rooms as well as multiple exam rooms, staff offices, reception areas and doctor's lounges. The dental center, which will also be used for the education of other dental professionals, will include more than 40 exam rooms as well as a call center, radiology center, waiting lounges and a health bar.

The landmark Bergen County office facility, owned by Onyx Equities, consists of two 12-story Class A office buildings at the interchange of Route 17 and Route 3. The buildings recently underwent a $6 million upgrade, including renovation of the common areas and lobbies, new facades, and landscaping and signage. The complex is convenient to public transportation as well as to Route 80, the Lincoln Tunnel and the George Washington Bridge.

The architect for MALO Consulting NJ project is Posen Architects of West Orange which specializes in health care facility design. The slated completion date is summer of 2009.
