An affiliate of Aventura-based Royal Senior Care is building a senior living facility in southern Miami-Dade County thanks to a $41.86 million construction loan.

Bank Hapoalim provided the mortgage to RSC Coral Reef Propco LLC, an affiliate of Royal Senior Care, for the project at 15005, 15055 and 15060 S.W. 97th Ave. It will be part of the Coral Reef Wellness Center near Jackson South Medical Center.

The three buildings will have a combined 229 congregate living units, including for assisted living, memory care and independent living. They will total about 212,000 square feet and include two pools.

Jupiter Medical Center Surgical Institute 2 760x320

Jupiter Medical Center has a major expansion in the works, with a new surgical center to replace a skilled nursing building.

JMC is one of the few stand-alone hospitals left in South Florida, and it’s aiming to enhance its facilities to keep pace with competition.

The skilled nursing building on the southwest corner of the JMC campus would be demolished, and a two-story, 80,470-square-foot surgical center would be built in its place. It would include 18 operating rooms.

In addition, JMC is looking to expand its emergency department by 2,500 square feet, create eight rapid treatment stations, and construct a 6,200-square-foot addition to its central energy plant.

Patti Patrick, VP and chief strategy and growth officer at JMC, said the new Surgical Institute would be the biggest capital project in the hospital’s history and create more than 100 jobs.

A company controlled by the CEO of Boca Raton-based marketing and digital advertising company Worldata wants to rezone a property west of Delray Beach to build a medical office building.

Birchwood Group LLC, managed by Jay Schwedelson in Boca Raton, filed a text amendment application with Palm Beach County officials for the 3.61-acre site at 15445 S. State Road 7. The vacant parcel is located a few blocks south of Atlantic Avenue in the Agricultural Reserve, a mostly agricultural area that has been transitioning to residential and some commercial development.

The application seeks changes to the area’s land use that would permit 31,625 square feet of medical and dental offices on the site. The application says this would generate 985 vehicle trips.

Gloria Drummond Patient Tower-Boca Raton Regional Hospital

Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of Baptist Health South Florida, filed plans for a new patient tower.

The nonprofit hospital first unveiled plans for the Gloria Drummond Patient Tower in early 2019, when it announced the start of a $250 million capital campaign. The original plans called for 180,000 square feet in seven stories, but the building in the new application is significantly larger.

Under the proposed site plan, the Gloria Drummond Patient Tower at 800 Meadows Road would total 437,394 square feet in nine stories. It would include private patient rooms, surgical suites, space for staff, and space for graduate medical education.

BRRH also has a pending plan to build a medical office building on its campus.

A 354-unit multifamily complex and an adjacent medical building could rise on a 14.5-acre property in Kendall that is now a strawberry farm.

Baptist Hospital of Miami, part of Baptist Health of South Florida, last week submitted an application to Miami-Dade County for the project on the hospital-owned site at 9501 Southwest 137th Avenue. The application shows Baptist would develop the medical facility and The Altman Companies would build the apartments.

Baptist is seeking rezoning and a special exception to allow residential development. The county’s development impact committee will review the proposal, and the Miami-Dade County Zoning Board is to vote on it at an unspecified date.

Boca Raton-based Altman, led by Joel Altman and Seth Wise, is listed as under contract for a portion of the site, but no further details were provided. An Altman spokesperson declined comment.

A site plan shows the medical office would take up a small area on the north end of the property, and six mid-rise apartment buildings would be built on the remainder of the land. The residential development would include a lake, clubhouse and walking trails.

Baptist’s letter of intent lists 14 possibilities for the medical offices, including for endoscopy, oncology and cardiac services. It also could be a medical laboratory, administrative offices or a pharmacy.

The site is a six-mile drive from the main Baptist Hospital campus at 8800 North Kendall Drive and just west of the long-closed Calusa Country Club golf course and Calusa Club Estates residential community. Homebuilder GL Homes and Facundo Bacardi plan to redevelop the 169-acre course with 550 homes. GL Homes last month bought the course from Bacardi for $32 million.

Some Calusa Club Estates homeowners have opposed the golf course redevelopment, saying they purchased their homes with the promise that the course will remain. Homeowner Amanda Prieto, who opposes the golf course project, said the multifamily/office building proposal makes more sense because it would be along a major road. Access to the Altman apartment complex would be only at Southwest 137th Avenue and not at 96th Avenue, which leads to Calusa.
