Nutex Health hospital set for construction (Courtesy of the Jacksonville Business Journal) — A Texas-based health care company with more than 20 facilities across several states received the OK from the City of Jacksonville to build one of its first Florida locations.
The city issued a $21 million permit for Nutex Health on Tuesday to construct a one-story, 28,303-square-foot specialty hospital at 12625 Beach Blvd. The permit was under review in April, and a Nutex spokesperson said it expected to break ground in Q2 of this year, which just passed.
The specialty hospital will be a full-service emergency room and hospital on a smaller scale than the large hospital systems. Such specialty hospitals are referred to as micro hospitals, which provide year-round, 24/7 medical care.
The hospital off Beach and Kernan boulevards will include eight beds and an imaging department with MRI, CT scan and X-ray services.
The Jacksonville hospital is one of three new hospitals planned for Florida, with one in Miami and another in Starkey Ranch. There are seven other hospitals in the works in Arizona, Ohio, Texas, Idaho and Wisconsin.
BBKR Development Partners LLC, associated with Atlanta-based real estate company Monarch Investments, owns the 8.4-acre property and is listed as the developer on construction plans through Fourth Time Partners LLC. It bought the property in August 2022 for $4.85 million.
Parkway Construction and Architecture LP, a Texas-based development company, is listed as the general contractor for the project. Cph Inc. is listed as the engineer for the project and is based in Jacksonville.
