New MOB Projects Reflect Continued Development

WINTER PARK, FL-Underscoring the continuing development in the medical office and related building segment despite the continued stall in general office construction, two different developers have disclosed details of three projects in Central Florida and one in Indiana. The three Central Florida projects are outpatient medical facilities and medical offices that are being developed by Chicago-based Lillibridge and total 90,000 square feet. The Mishawaka project, developed by BremnerDuke Healthcare Real Estate, is the first Indiana MOB to be LEED Gold certified.

Lillibridge is developing its three projects for Adventist Health System’s Florida Division, bringing to seven the number of facilities the firm has developed for the provider in the state. When the latest projects totaling 90,000 square feet are completed, the seven buildings will total about 369,000 square feet.

The three new Adventist facilities are a 36,000-square-foot medical office building at 133 Benmore Dr. on Florida Hospital’s Winter Park Memorial Hospital campus in Winter Park, a 24,000-square-foot health center at 151 Victoria Commons Blvd. near Florida Hospital in DeLand and a 30,000-square-foot, off-campus, neighborhood-style MOB near the intersection of State Road 415 and Doyle Road in Deltona. Winter Park is a hospital-owned facility that is under construction and scheduled for completion by July 1. The DeLand is being built in the fast-growing Victoria Park master-planned mixed-use development and is a hospital-owned building that is anticipated to be completed by late August. The Deltona MOB is in the Osteen Joint Planning Area, a section of Volusia County where significant growth is anticipated. The new hospital-owned facility is being designed by Lillibridge and would open about nine to 10 months after the start of construction.
