Umatilla Senior Housing 760x320

An Ocoee developer who withdrew plans for a new apartment complex in Umatilla earlier this year has redesigned the project at the corner of Fletcher Road and E Collins Street as a senior housing facility.

Fletcher Grove Development LLC, led by luxury homebuilder Agustin Sierra, has applied for a small scale amendment to the Umatilla comprehensive plan and rezoning the 9.7-acre site from Commercial Tourist (CT) and Residential Professional (RP) to Public Facilities District (PFD).

The ordinances received their first readings at the Umatilla City Council meeting on Aug. 15 and are scheduled for a public hearing on Sept. 5.

Fletcher Grove Development purchased the vacant property from John and Barbara Ambach in 2021 for $285,000. The heavily wooded property is next door to the Lake County Health Department and abuts a large mobile home park on two sides and one single-family home on Fletcher.

The new site plan identifies a two-story building with multiple wings for a total of 121 units (156 beds) with common areas (dining room, theater, library, etc.) and recreational amenities which include outdoor court yards with water features. The facility would offer 32 independent living units, 65 assisted living beds and 24 memory care beds. The maximum height would be 35 feet.

Lake County has been a magnet for new assisted living facilities due to its large retiree population and proximity to The Villages.

The Concierge Rendering-22 SE 6th Street, Boca Raton_Rendering Credit SFBJ 760x320

22-26 Southeast Sixth Street LLC, an entity formed between Hunt Valley, Maryland-based Omega Healthcare Investors and Westport, Connecticut-based Maplewood Senior Living and now managed solely by Omega, submitted plans to build 42 multifamily units instead of the original plan to build a senior living facility.

City officials received the application concerning the 0.61-acre property at 22 SE Sixth St. in June.

In 2021, the entity purchased the site for $10.2 million from Group P6. Group P6 secured approval in 2018 for the Concierge, a nine-story building with 88 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care, along with a host of amenities geared for senior living. Structures that existed on the site were removed, but no new construction took place.

The multifamily building footprint would remain 124,288 square feet in nine stories. Plans include six two-bedroom units, 12 two-bedroom units with dens, 18 three-bedroom units with dens, and six townhouses.

Moffitt Cancer Center To Open $400 Million Inpatient Surgical Hospital

Moffitt Cancer Center, one of 54 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers, is opening the doors to its $400 million inpatient surgical hospital in Tampa, Moffitt McKinley, which it expects will accommodate a 63% increase in patient volume and a 33% rise in cancer surgeries over the next 10 years.

Construction began in 2020 with design plans entailing a hospital that could treat all types of cancer and provide surgery for solid tumors. The design was based on feedback from more than 170 stakeholders, including physicians, nurses, lab personnel, pharmacy staff, hospital leaders, administrators, patients, and families.

The 10-story facility is 498,000 square feet and is made up of 19 operating suites, 128 inpatient rooms, and 72 perioperative rooms. It also has an intraoperative MR suite, a diagnostic CT scanner, and two nuclear medicine cameras. The hospital will start with 80 available inpatient beds but can expand to 400 in the future.

“We are significantly increasing our capacity to help more patients and save so many lives here. We’re expanding all over so we can bring therapies closer to our patients and perform life-saving research that will give them even better hope for tomorrow,” said Moffitt president and CEO Dr. Patrick Hwu in a statement.

The new MR scanner provides doctors with real-time views of the patient on the operating table and does not require the patient to be moved to another room for scanning, according to WUSF Public Media.

“Everyone clears the room and an MR scanner comes in from [another] room on a track and comes over and looks to see if we got the whole tumor. If not, the surgeon will take more of a margin,” said Hwu.

Each patient room is 350 square feet and includes virtual whiteboards and flat-screen TVs, foldout sofas and recliners, and technology that identifies each team member that enters. The hospital also has a 26,000-square-foot central utility plant, a three-story parking garage, and a pedestrian bridge that connects it to the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Outpatient Center.

In addition to this project, Moffitt Cancer Center broke ground back in January on the construction of its 775-acre Pasco County campus, Speros Florida, which will include 140 buildings for clinics, research, housing, and more. It is expected to start seeing patients in 2025.

For Moffitt McKinley, it partnered with Barr & Barr Inc., Hammes Company, HDR, Horus Construction Services Inc., Walter P. Moore, and Ardurra Group Inc.
