HCA Florida Healthcare intends to develop a free-standing emergency center and convert other space into a medical office building at Baywood Center in the Baymeadows area.
Memorial Healthcare Group Inc., part of HCA, paid $6.06 million on June 22 for two two-story buildings of 26,047 square feet each on 3.51 acres at 9424 and 9432 Baymeadows Road.
A JEA service availability request shows that the project includes the demolition of the building at 9432 Baymeadows Road for development of a 10,860-square-foot free-standing emergency room. Plans show 10 exam rooms, diagnostic X-ray, laboratory and other space. The building at 9424 Baymeadows Road is shown on a preliminary site plan as a future conversion to a medical office building.
Kimley-Horn of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.
“As a part of HCA Florida Healthcare, we are always looking to bring healthcare closer to where people live and work. This is especially important when it comes to emergency care,” said Odette Struys, public information officer of HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, in an email July 10.
Memorial Healthcare bought the property from Acorn Baywood LLC, which also has a six-story, 119,019-square-foot office building on the property at 9428 Baymeadows Road.
Anthony Brunetti with Florida Medical Space Inc. represented the buyer in the transaction. Newmark Phoenix Realty Group CEO and Principal Jim Sebesta and Senior Vice President Jeff Frandsen represented the seller.
All three structures were built in 1985.
