Orlando Health will begin construction this summer on a 7-story hospital and 3-story medical office building (MOB) in Viera, Florida. The 40-acre project will include a 240-bed facility with an emergency department, laboratories, surgical suites, and a pharmacy. The MOB will house specialties like cardiovascular health and neurosciences. The emergency department is expected to open first in fall 2027.
The hospital will be built on a 40-acre site in Viera, a city in Brevard County. The facility will have 240 inpatient beds and will include an emergency department, surgical suites, labs, and a pharmacy. The 3-story MOB adjacent to the hospital will be 60,000 square feet and will focus on cardiovascular and neuroscience practices.
Construction will proceed in phases, with the emergency department slated for completion first. The full hospital and MOB are expected to be operational by 2028. The project is part of Orlando Health's expansion in Central Florida, which includes other facilities in nearby areas.
The hospital and MOB will serve Brevard County's growing population. The facility will be located near existing healthcare providers and will aim to reduce wait times for specialized care. The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs during construction and operation.
Orlando Health has not disclosed the total cost of the project. The hospital will be the first major healthcare facility in Viera since the 1990s. The MOB will be the largest medical office building in the city.
