The Cape Coral Economic Development Office reveals that there are six new medical offices planned to go up in that area. These long-awaited projects will help Cape Coral residents find more convenient care.

On the corner of Kismet Parkway and Del Prado Boulevard, construction crews are building a new medical clinic. Catherine Allen of North Fort Myers says, it’s about time. “I know that when people go to the emergency room they have to wait forever,” said Allen.

Cape Coral’s Economic Development Manager Ricardo Noguera said that the construction marks the beginning of a medical building boom, of sorts. It’s just one of six new medical offices set to open in Cape Coral.

“We are now at 200,000 people. We are more than double the population of Fort Myers so the medical community is taking note and they’re realizing do I want my folks to continue crossing that bridge or do I want to come to my folks? And they’re now coming,” said Noguera.

Noguera says he will continue to fight the good fight and get even more medical facilities to come to the area. Encompass Health is set to open on Pine Island Road.

The 80-room inpatient rehab hospital will be the first of its kind in Cape Coral. Annie Grove lives in Cape Coral and says they need more full-service hospitals.

“I think they’re always needed, extra hospitals, especially with the older generation here,” Grove said.

The city projects that all six of the new medical facilities could be open by as early as 2021.

Orlando Medical Real Estate Developer Aiming To Sell Trio Of Buildings Near Downtown

2000, 2008 and 2010 N. Orange Ave.

An Orlando medical real estate developer is looking to sell a trio of buildings near downtown.

Developer Tim Majors’ Headquarters Investments LLC wants to sell three properties — 2000, 2008 and 2010 N. Orange Ave. — for $13 million, according to LoopNet. NAI Realvest Partner Paul Partyka is marketing the properties, which have a combined market value of $4.1 million, according to Orange County records.

The properties include Majors’ headquarters, which was named an OBJ “coolest office space” in 2019, the vintage car-themed M Bar and the rooftop M Lounge that offers skyline views of downtown.

Majors bought the properties for roughly $3.6 million between July 2015-May 2018, according to Orange County records. The properties feature a 21,150-square-foot office building built in 1996, a 5,000-square-foot retail structure built in 1954 and a 5,057-square foot retail building built in 1928.

The properties — on 0.82 acres — can be sold separately or together and “can be combined with other adjacent properties to make a major presence especially if in the medical field or any complementary use,” according to marketing materials.

West Kendall Baptist Hospital Breaks Ground On Clinical Expansion Project

A recent virtual groundbreaking event officially began a clinical expansion project at West Kendall Baptist Hospital, part of Baptist Health South Florida.

At the heart of the project, scheduled to be completed in early 2023, is a new four-story, 126,000-square-foot tower that will house 35 additional emergency department treatment rooms, 70 new observation/inpatient beds and growth areas for imaging services and more.

The groundbreaking event on Nov. 18 was streamed live via Zoom and hosted by Lourdes Boue, CEO of West Kendall Baptist Hospital, and Aida Shafer, chair of the West Kendall Baptist Hospital Board of Directors, alongside a group of socially distanced Baptist Health executives and community leaders.

“Since our opening in 2011, we have been a vital part of the neighborhood,” Boue said during the event. “We are committed to providing an excellent patient experience along with the most advanced technology. This expansion is an investment in our community.”

When it opened, West Kendall Baptist Hospital was Miami-Dade County’s first non-replacement hospital in more than 35 years. The hospital supported a vision of West Kendall as a convenient central hub where area residents can live, work and play, and the campus’ award-winning design anticipated rapid growth in the area.

The new construction will match the modern Mediterranean style of the existing hospital and feature the same eco-friendly features that earned the hospital LEED Gold certification for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, a green building certification program used worldwide.

West Kendall Baptist Hospital is part of Baptist Health South Florida, the largest healthcare organization in the region, with 11 hospitals, nearly 23,000 employees, more than 4,000 physicians and more than 100 outpatient centers, urgent care facilities and physician practices spanning across Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
