AdventHealth just bought a portion of Clermont land that was part of a recent, larger sale.

Ohio-based developer Coastal Ridge Real Estate bought a 49-acre property from the Clont family on June 2 for $7.35 million, according to county records. The developer then sold a 24-acre portion of the property closer to U.S. 27 to an entity related to the Altamonte Springs-based nonprofit health system for $5.75 million. The land is next to the 250-acre, mixed-use Olympus development in Clermont, which is slated to feature residential, sports venues, retail and medical uses.

“AdventHealth has no immediate plans for this parcel,” Kari Vargas, CEO of AdventHealth’s West Orange and South Lake market, told Orlando Business Journal. “We will continue to assess the health needs of the fast-growing South Lake County community, to ensure we utilize the property in a way that best serves those needs.”

Founded in 1908, AdventHealth’s Central Florida division includes more than 20 hospitals and ERs in the seven-county area in and around Orlando. Its hospitals and other outpatient services see more than 5.7 million patient visits annually. The health system has 37,000-plus employees across Central Florida. Nationally, the organization has more than $12.5 billion in annual operating revenue.

Meanwhile, Raleigh, North Carolina-based FMI Corp. expects health care construction spending in the U.S. to go from $53 billion in 2022 to $62 billion in 2025. That is due to demand for services for an aging population and the addition of people to certain parts of the country.

As Plant City continues to grow, so is the need for a bigger hospital. Construction is underway for the new South Florida Baptist Hospital.

“This project not only is exciting for our hospital, it really is exciting for the community of Plant City,” said Karen Kerr, President of South Florida Baptist Hospital.

It will replace the original hospital, which opened back in 1953. That hospital has undergone 12 major additions and expansions since then.

“We know that Plant City is growing by leaps and bounds. We determined that the best plan was to build a replacement hospital rather than to build on site,” Kerr said.

Located less than four miles from the original hospital, this new hospital will have six floors and will feature 146 state-of-the-art private rooms.

“Patient rooms will be considered smart rooms. The patients will be able to control things. Control maybe the blinds, the lighting from their beds,” said Kerr.

The new building will also have 26 ICU beds and a 30-bed emergency department.

“Part of our planning really dictated that we had pandemic ready units. So, our ICU units will be pandemic ready. Hopefully we won’t need it again,” Kerr said.

The $326 million project includes a medical office building for outpatient lab services, rehab and wound care and more.

South Florida Baptist Hospital is the largest employer in Plant City. About 800 team members will work at the new hospital when it opens in 2024.

As the population grays, with older Americans projected to outnumber children in 2035, according to the Census Bureau, hospital systems are looking to build and investors are looking to get a piece of the action by buying medical office buildings — a sector that saw acquisition volume more than double year-over-year.

Hospital construction is up, with 45.1M SF of new construction in progress, up from a pipeline of 37.4M SF in Q2 2021 and 28.7M SF in Q2 2020, according to healthcare real estate specialist RevistaMed.

Hospitals are expanding at a brisk rate as well. Expansions totaling 50.4M SF are underway, up from 44M SF during the second quarter of 2021, though down from Q2 2020, when total expansions underway reached 53.9M SF.

Of the 163 new hospital projects underway, 30 projects are microhospitals of fewer than 25 beds, which are part of the trend toward community-oriented healthcare, RevistaMed reports. Most hospital developments are still standard in size, however, with an average of 134 beds.

Among the largest projects, the University of California, San Francisco received permission to build a $4.3B hospital at UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center, and Sacramento-based University of California, Davis Medical Center began work on a new $3.8B facility, according to Becker Hospital Review.

Work is also underway on $500M-plus hospital projects in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Texas, Becker reports.

Amid an emphasis on health and well-being, investors are also eager for medical office buildings. RevistaMed reports that there were $4.3B in MOB acquisitions by investors in Q1 2022, up from $2.1B during the same quarter last year.

In 2021, the medical office sector saw $15.4B in transactions, according to Newmark, a record amount, up from the prior record of $14.9B in 2017. Last year’s total was also up from $13.5B in 2020.

The sector has benefited from stickier tenancy and an aging population, healthcare real estate experts say. A record amount of capital for alternative commercial real estate sectors has also led more investors toward MOBs.

“There’s been a steady increase in the amount of institutional capital that has been allocated to medical offices,” Newmark Senior Managing Director Michael Greeley said during Bisnow’s Boston Healthcare Summit earlier this month.

An Atlanta and South African-based buyer, OrbVest US, Inc., recently closed on Congress Executive Center, a 4-story medical and professional building located at 1301 N. Congress Avenue in Boynton Beach.

The property, which was 100% occupied, closed on May 12 for $11 million.

Executive Managing Director Mark M. Rubin, Director Bastian Laggerbauer, and Financial Analyst Jake Stauber of Colliers’ South Florida Investment Services Team represented the seller, Triple Double Real Estate (Andrew “Avi” Greenbaum and Jeremy B. Becker) in the transaction. Andy Belew of Consilium Capital Partners represented the buyer.

“The trade of Congress Executive Center represents a 75% increase in value from its previous purchase price, less than one year ago,” said Rubin. “This sale is indicative of the strong demand for stabilized medical office properties with solid fundamentals, sound in-place tenancy and investor confidence in the Boynton Beach submarket.”

The 40,210-square-foot, 4-story, medical and professional office is located on nearly 2 acres, adjacent to the Boynton Beach Mall, which has plans for a major redevelopment. With plans for abundant shopping, dining, and entertainment across the street, Congress Executive Center stands out as one of the most strategically located medical and professional office buildings in the area.

“Congress Executive Center is a great addition to the buyer’s current and impressive portfolio of healthcare real estate,” said Laggerbauer. “The seller was able to increase the property’s value significantly by attracting strong medical tenancy to the asset and achieving a 100% occupancy rate.” 

The office investment market in South Florida broke records in 2021, despite uncertainties surrounding the coronavirus pandemic and return to the office delays. South Florida’s strong demand drivers like, declining unemployment, population growth, and confidence in the economy are creating an imbalance in supply and demand. Including Boynton Beach, there is limited supply of quality products with competitive buyers driving the price up; sales price per square foot increased 19 percent year-over-year, ending in 2021 at $285. Boynton Beach, amongst the rest of South Florida, is expected to see another strong year for office investment. However, high demand and limited supply will likely remain imbalanced.
