Baptist Health, Altman Cos. Team Up For Kendall Development

Baptist Health South Florida and the Altman Cos. are teaming up for a multifamily and medical development in Kendall.

The nonprofit health care organization filed a pre-application with county officials for Altis Baptist Kendall. It would be developed on the 14.5-acre site at 9501 S.W. 137th Ave., at the northeast corner of Southwest 96th Street. It’s about eight blocks south of Kendall Drive, near the Calusa neighborhood.

Boca Raton-based Altman Cos. would build the residential portion of the project, while Baptist Health would build a 57,100-square-foot medical office building with 190 parking spaces. The three-story building would include a free-standing emergency department, which would allow Baptist Health to treat emergency patients who don’t require an overnight hospital stay.
