AdventHeatlth Changes Project Slated For Former Holy Land Experience Site In Orlando

AdventHealth has adjusted its plans for the former Holy Land Experience site it bought last year in Orlando.

The Altamonte Springs-based health system — which owns some of the largest hospitals in Orlando — filed paperwork with the city of Orlando to change the proposed project at 4655 and 4615 Vineland Road to a three-phase project.

The first phase would include a one-story, 24-bed, 19,600-square-foot, freestanding emergency department with a helipad.

New plans submitted to the city do not specify what the second or third phases would include, but they do mention the potential for a parking garage. The updated plans call for the demolition of all existing buildings on the site.

Prior plans had the project’s first phase include the emergency department along with a four-story, 90,450-square-foot medical office building, with the second phase including a five-story, 250,100-square-foot hospital.

“We continue to work through our planning and design process to determine how best to serve the health care needs of the Millenia area,” Kari Vargas, CEO of AdventHealth Winter Garden and the west Orange and south Lake market, told Orlando Business Journal.

AdventHealth bought the 14-acre site last summer for $32 million from Holy Land Experience Ministries Inc., an entity related to Tustin, California-based theme park operator and landowner Trinity Broadcasting Network.
