AdventHealth Plans New Medical Office Building Near Downtown Orlando

adventhealth

AdventHealth plans to build a new facility near its downtown-area campus.

The Altamonte Springs-based nonprofit health system is seeking city of Orlando approval for a 12-story medical office building with a parking garage at a listed address of 225 E. Rollins St.

The project — codenamed “Project Lego” and slated to be built on 15 parcels of land — has not submitted additional project documents with the city of Orlando yet, said city spokeswoman Samantha Holsten.

AdventHealth representatives declined to comment.

The health system is being represented by Orlando-based GrayRobinson law firm for its application seeking site plan approval.

The facility would be built inside AdventHealth Health Village, a 172-acre mixed-use community surrounding AdventHealth’s downtown Orlando campus. The longterm plan for the district includes:

  • Room for up to 800 additional hospital beds
  • 600,000 square feet of medical office space
  • 100,000 square feet of general office space
  • 100,000 square feet of retail space
  • Up to 670 residential units
  • A future hotel

Some of that residential development already has kicked off in the area. Orlando-based Ustler Group of Cos. and Atlanta-based Wood Partners are underway on construction of the 285-unit Alta at Health Village apartment complex at Orange Avenue and Winter Park Street, which is expected to be completed by mid-2021.

Ustler Group of Cos. President Craig Ustler supports having a diverse mix of real estate uses there, because they help enliven the area and add to the hospital’s presence, he told Orlando Business Journal.

Broward Health Buys Vacant Land For $14.5M

Broward Health is poised to expand after purchasing vacant land in Parkland for $14.5 million.

Lucky Land Star Holdings, managed by Agustin Herran in Miami, sold seven acres at the southwest corner of University Drive and Trails End to the North Broward Hospital District, the public body that runs Broward Health.

Herran is part of the family that owns Sedano’s Supermarket. His company acquired the property in deals of $8.8 million in 2012 and $950,000 in 2017.

No development plans have been approved there, but Broward Health could look to build an outpatient center. It has a hospital in neighboring Coral Springs.

A Medical Complex Is Coming To Miami Worldcenter

Center for Health Performance

A $60 million medical center is planned for Miami Worldcenter, the mixed-use downtown development.

The 100,000-square-foot Center for Health + Performance, or CH+P, will sit on the ground floor of the Legacy Hotel & Residences, according to a release from the tower’s development firm, Royal Palm Companies.

A medical center was planned long before the pandemic, Dan Kodsi, CEO of RPC, said in a statement. But the pandemic is leading to some changes.

The development team is expanding the center’s air purification system and anti-microbial and chemical-resistant surfaces. Think voice-activated elevators, touchless room key access, UV-sterilization wands and robots for common areas — through the building.

Construction will begin on the tower at 942 NE First Ave. in the fall. The tower will have 274 condo units and 256 hotel rooms.

“While it’s been over a year in the making, COVID-19 was the driving force in enhancing some of our features that would allow the hotel to continue operating during any future pandemics,” Kodsi said in an email.

The center will have surgery rooms, capabilities for MRI, CT, mammography, X-Ray, ultrasound scans, on-site pharmacy, on-site laboratory for test results, and on-call doctors, nurses and nutritionists. The healthcare organization that will run the center has not been decided.

“One of the many impacts of COVID-19 will be a more informed and hyper-cautious traveler that will be looking for hotels and vacation homes that prioritizes their health and safety without sacrificing that luxury lifestyle they are accustomed to,” said Stephen Watson, head of medical and wellness projects for RPC.

The Miami Worldcenter is a 27-acre, $5 billion development that broke ground in 2018 with the construction of Paramount Worldcenter. The project includes hotels, condominiums and retail spaces.

Baptist Health Proposes Medical Office Building At Boca Hospital

Baptist Hospital-MOB

Baptist Health South Florida wants to construct a medical office building next to Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

The Miami-based nonprofit merged with BRRH in 2019. The Boca Raton nonprofit already launched a $250 million fundraising campaign to build a patient tower and a 972-space parking garage on its main campus.

The new application, which BRRH recently filed with the city, pertains to the 2.9-acre site at 745 Meadows Road. Located next to the hospital, the property currently has three office buildings for a combined 32,453 square feet. They were built in the early 1970s and would be demolished to make way for a larger office building and a parking garage.

It will blend the most advanced medical and surgical technologies with a patient-centered approach that brings us closer to achieving our vision — to transform cancer care through service, science and partnership.”

The project will also include the construction of a 26,000-square-foot central utility plant of approximately and a three-story parking garage, the release states. It is expected to generate $298 million in construction value within the local economy and employ some 5,500 workers.

“This new hospital will be a place for firsts,” Kolosky states in the release. “New discoveries will be made here. New procedures will be performed. Through this state-of-the-art facility, we will revolutionize the way patient care is delivered at Moffitt.”

Construction is set to begin next month, with a target opening date of July 2023.
