AdventHealth Orlando has tapped Birmingham, Alabama-based contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to build a 14-story medical tower as the centerpiece of a $1 billion investment from the health system, according to a May 14 news release.
The tower comes with a $660 million price tag, according to Health News Florida. Located on AdventHealth’s 172-acre campus in downtown Orlando, the facility will have capacity for 24 operating rooms and 440 inpatient beds. It will also provide endoscopy and imaging services.
Brasfield & Gorrie, which had $6.4 billion in revenue in 2024 according to Engineering News-Record, has long focused on the healthcare market. It boasts a portfolio ofover 3,100 projects in the sector with a value of $23.2 billion, according to its website.
Other aspects of AdventHealth’s investment in its Orlando campus include the development of:
- Advanced services and technologies such as robot-assisted kidney transplants.
- Its Genomics Risk Assessment for Cancer and Early Detection program, which uses a patient’s family history, medical history and artificial intelligence data to assess potential risk.
- The Little Miracles Unit, which provides more intensive care for infants born as early as 22 weeks.
“This project is paving the way for our Orlando campus to become America’s epicenter for surgical advancement, breakthrough treatments, pioneering research and medical education – all centered on our whole-person health philosophy,” said AdventHealth Orlando CEO Rob Deininger in the release.
Today, AdventHealth Orlando is home to 24 accredited programs, with 358 accredited residents and fellows. With the investment, it aims to add seven more programs and an additional 109 residents and fellows. The campus currently employs nearly 10,000 people and is on pace to enroll nearly 2,000 students at AdventHealth University, with a goal of 3,000 students when the tower opens.
The tower’s completion is slated for 2030, according to the release
