A $3.37 million permit was issued this week to turn a space near downtown Jacksonville, Florida, into a health care clinic for seniors, and a Birmingham company is involved in the deal.
Called “Archwell Health Clinic – Brentwood,” the permit is for alterations and repairs to an existing structure at 5000 Norwood Ave., Unit 4.
Birmingham-headquartered Hoar Construction LLC is heading up the work, and Gateway Retail Center LLC owns the space, according to city records.
ArchWell Health, a health care provider for patients over the age of 60, is headquartered in Tennessee with clinics in 16 states, including Florida, according to its website. There are five scattered across the Jacksonville area and this would make six.
Work will entail an interior buildout of 11,795 square feet with a leased space of 13,553 square feet and other non-used space for future growth, according to city records.
It aims to create a community of care by “focusing on a strong doctor-patient relationship,” the website states.
Hoar Construction is behind multiple big-ticket projects, including the local Morgan Stanley headquarters and a Texas university expansion.
Morgan Stanley’s local leader said the firm plans to move into its new Birmingham headquarters in early 2026. The firm’s new local headquarters will be a 30,000-square-foot office building at 740 Shades Creek Parkway on a 1-acre lot adjacent to Shades Valley Lutheran Church and Fairway Investment’s office building just off U.S. Highway 280. The FiveStone Group kicked off construction last fall, with Hoar Construction as the general contractor. KPS Group is the architect for the project.
Sam Houston State University held a groundbreaking ceremony for its $60 million Bowers Stadium renovation project in late 2024. The renovation will demolish the stadium’s existing press box on the west side, replacing it with a five-level, 47,000-square-foot facility with an additional 13,000 square feet of covered exterior space. Construction is expected to begin before the end of the year, and the project is scheduled to be completed prior to the 2026 football season. Hoar Construction is the general contractor for the project. Omaha, Nebraska-based DLR Group and Washington, D.C.-based Page Southerland Page Inc. designed the renovation.
It also recently was behind a project to build a new UAB Medicine Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility in place of the UAB’s Spain Rehabilitation Center. That deal totaled $128 million.
