Women’s Care Florida Women’s Health Center, Tampa, Fla.
Winner of the “Best New Development, MOBs and Other Outpatient Facilities, 50,000 to 99,999 square feet” Category, Women’s Care Florida Women’s Health Center is a three-story, 63,289 square foot Specialty Women’s Health Center with an Ambulatory Surgical Center, Cancer Treatment, and Imaging located in a growing Westshore district of Tampa. The facility, completed in October 2017 and due to open January 2018, allowed client Women’s Care Florida (WCF) to create a premier outpatient center providing comprehensive, 21st century women’s care and surgical services in a convenient location.
After being selected in a competitive RFP process, NexCore engaged WCF’s 160 physicians in its physician investment program whereby individual physicians purchase equity shares to achieve real estate returns as part of a long-term hold strategy. In addition, NexCore provided WCF with speed-to-market: in the acquisition of the site, improving WCF’s preliminary site plan and building design, securing entitlements, and breaking ground just eight months after being awarded the project. NexCore started work at-risk on the engineering and design of the building while working with state and local municipalities on entitlement and use approvals to keep the project moving forward on a fast track. NexCore maximized the building area on the site to provide WCF with additional usable square footage, while maximizing parking to meet the challenging requirements of the Westshore District.
The new facility allows WCF to enhance patient satisfaction with a conveniently located, patient-centered, one-stop care center, offering quality healthcare services such as maternal-fetal medicine, gynecology, urogynecology and ambulatory surgery. Additionally, WCF is now able to provide cancer treatment, which expands its service line and improves patient convenience. Finally, the facility will create several dozen new full-time jobs in the Tampa community.
