Hospital giant HCA Healthcare has proposed a free-standing emergency department in Pembroke Pines, on the site of its former city hall.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Board will consider the site plan application for the 6.6-acre property at 10100 Pines Blvd. on April 13. The site, at the southwest corner of Palm Avenue, previously hosted city hall until the city built a new home nearby.

Davie Medical Center LLC, an affiliate of Nashville-based HCA, acquired the land for $13 million in August.

The city previously approved the 6.6-acre property for up to 120,000 square feet of medical office space. HCA filed plans for a 10,860-square-foot free-standing emergency department with 59 parking spaces. It estimated the cost of the project at $25.6 million.
