A developer has proposed an outpatient medical facility in Homestead with an estimated development cost of $60.6 million.

The city’s Development Review Committee on Oct. 18 will consider plans for Homestead Medical Center. It concerns the vacant site of 4.6 acres on the west side of Southwest 137th Avenue, just south of Northeast 16th Street. It’s on the west side of Homestead Air Reserve Base.

Homestead Medical Center would total 140,000 square feet in five stories. It would include a 10,310-square-foot outpatient surgical center, 5,110 square feet of adult day care, a 10,347-square-foot imaging/diagnostic center and the balance of the space medical office. There would be 617 parking spaces, with 415 of them in a 5-story parking garage.

The Florida Hospital Association's Orlando office at 307 Park Lake Circle

The Florida Hospital Association has sold more than two downtown acres to an Orlando investment company.

Elevation Financial Group bought the eight parcels comprised of 2.12 acres, which includes the Tallahassee-based association’s former Orlando offices adjacent to Park Lake. The FHA had closed that office last November as it centralized all operations in Tallahassee.

The land sold for $4 million on Sept. 12 to an entity connected to Elevation, per Orange County documents. Cushman & Wakefield’s Glen Jaffee and Jeff Sweeney represented the association in the sale, and a representative for Elevation was not immediately known.

In total, the property has more than 20,000 square feet across multiple buildings, according to the county property appraiser. Elevation would renovate the existing main 10,000-square-foot office building and demolish other buildings on the property to make way for new development, according to the company in a release.

Elevation Commercial Development, a subsidiary of Elevation Financial Group, will oversee the construction and demolition.

“We see an incredible opportunity to take an underutilized and distressed property and bring it back to life through strategic demolition, renovation and ground-up construction,” Matthew Downs, president of Elevation Commercial Development, said in a prepared statement. “What now is a mashup of disconnected buildings will be transformed into a reimagined property featuring multiple new office options for Orlando businesses.”

Ben Friedman, director of public affairs for Elevation Financial Group, told Orlando Business Journal the property likely will include office development, the scale of which is to be determined.

Meanwhile, Elevation Financial Group is preparing to build a new three-story, 14,000-square-foot corporate headquarters on New York Avenue in Winter Park. Elevation Commercial Development is also working on that office.

The group of properties is relatively unique to the downtown area because of the location and the size of the portfolio, Jeré Matheny, senior associate at Orlando-based real estate firm First Capital Property Group Inc. who is not involved with the deal, previously told OBJ.

The property and the zoning could lend itself to residential, medical office or a combination of uses in the long term.

Matheny has seen demand continue to recover for office space in downtown and other submarkets, partly thanks to continued population growth. “We don’t see any slowing down.”

Meanwhile, the Central Business District has an office vacancy rate of 14.2% for second-quarter 2022, according to Cushman & Wakefield. That’s slightly up from 13.5% during the prior quarter.

The asking price for all classes of office downtown is $28.97 per square foot for the second quarter. That is slightly down from $29.06 per square foot in the first quarter.

Woolbright Medical Plaza 760x320

JLL Capital Markets closed the sale of Woolbright Medical Plaza, two institutional-grade medical office buildings totaling 33,154 square feet in Boynton Beach.

The buildings last sold in August 2018 for $5,525,000.

JLL represented the seller, TopMed Realty, in the sale to AW Property Company.

Located at 1700 and 1800 Woolbright Road, Woolbright Medical Plaza is positioned less than a mile from the 401-bed Baptist Heath Bethesda Hospital East, part of the largest health system in South Florida. Furthermore, the property is near Boulevard Rehabilitation Center, HCA Florida JFK Hospital, Delray Medical Center and Bethesda West Hospital.

Woolbright Medical Plaza is 93% leased to a variety of nationally and locally recognized physician groups providing radiology/imaging, ENT, primary care, dentistry and physical therapy services. Anchor tenants include Akumin Corp., ENT Associates of South Florida and Kindred Healthcare. TopMed successfully converted and rebranded the office complex to a medical office plaza and increased the occupancy from 63% to 93%.

The abundance of demand for healthcare services in Palm Beach County is driven by surging population growth and an outsized concentration of senior citizen residents. Woolbright Medical Plaza further benefits from being adjacent to the large active adult 55+ community known as Leisureville, which features 1,800 single family homes and 500 apartments.

The JLL Healthcare Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Director Matt DiCesare, Senior Managing Director Evan Kovac and Director Anthony Sardo with support from Chad Prescher and Josiah Batcheller. Managing Director Ike Ojala of JLL’s Miami office provided local expertise.

 

Southplace City Center 760x320

Real estate developers are planning to build a “city within a city” at the Southland Mall site in Cutler Bay.

Developer Electra America, its U.S. affiliate American Landmark, and BH Group this week announced preliminary plans to redevelop the 80-acre site 20 miles south of Miami.

The site was acquired in May for more than $100 million.

Plans for the billion-dollar project, to be called Southplace City Center, include revamping the mall and adding nearly 4,400 apartments, a grocery store, a 150-room hotel, medical office space, an amphitheater and walk/bike paths at the site.

The proposal has been submitted to the town. The developers said their plans meet code and that they won’t seek any special approvals.

The developers plan to break ground next year. Apartments could be ready in early 2025, with rents starting at $2,500.
