Brasfield & Gorrie awarded US$660M medical tower build in US

AdventHealth Orlando, a Florida, US-based healthcare organisation, has awarded a US$660 million contract to general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to build a 14-storey surgical and inpatient tower, the centrepiece of a broader $1 billion investment in the healthcare system’s main campus in downtown Orlando.

The new tower will include 24 operating rooms, 440 inpatient beds, and space for imaging and endoscopy services. 

The project responds to rapid population growth in Central Florida, where Orlando sees an estimated 1,500 new residents each week.

AdventHealth said the facility will expand surgical capacity, enhance advanced care programmes, and support new medical technologies, including robot-assisted transplants and AI-enabled cancer risk assessments.

The development will also help scale the system’s medical training programme. AdventHealth currently supports 24 accredited residency and fellowship programmes with 358 physicians in training, and aims to increase that to 33 programmes and nearly 470 residents by 2029.

Design is being led by Orlando-based HuntonBrady Architects, with Alabama, US-based Brasfield & Gorrie serving as general contractor.

Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with completion targeted for 2030.
