Gordon Messinger will Oversee Leasing for the 116,000-SF MedSquare Health

Cushman & Wakefield has been named the exclusive leasing agent for a 116,000-square-foot, three-story Class A medical office building in Coral Gables. Called MedSquare Health, the $40 million project is being developed by joint-owners AJP Ventures and Mas Group. An official groundbreaking ceremony will be held at the site March 6 at 10 a.m.

Cushman & Wakefield Managing Director Gordon Messinger will lead leasing for the property, marketing the space to a variety of tenants in the medical field. Asking rents will begin in the low $40s per square foot net.

MedSquare Health will be situated on 4.5 acres at the corner of SW 87th Ave. and SW 94th St., within the Baptist Hospital medical submarket, which is one of South Florida’s primary healthcare corridors. The project will be the first off-campus, Class A medical office building developed in the submarket in over 20 years. The site is also within walking distance to Baptist Hospital, which is South Florida-based Baptist Health’s largest facility and one of the largest hospitals in the nation.

“With its state-of-the-art design and central location, MedSquare Health will be South Florida’s premier medical office building, appealing to leading national, regional and local health care providers,” said Messinger.

The design of the LEED-certified building will be led by Modis Architects with careful attention to the quality of tenant and patient experience, from the work environment to outdoor gathering spaces, with an emphasis on maximizing natural light throughout with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Dual entry will provide access from the adjoined, two-story parking garage as well as the prominent entrance on Galloway Road. Other building amenities include valet parking, a 7 per 1,000-square-foot parking ratio, an on-site café and shared conference room space.

“As the aging American population lives longer, it will continue to drive demand for healthcare real estate,” said Alberto J. Pérez, Founder and President of AJP Ventures. “MedSquare Health will fill a geographic gap for health professionals looking to better serve their patients. That includes aiding healthcare providers in all types of practice who are looking to open, relocate or expand in South Florida.”
