Broward Health starts construction on new Fort Lauderdale medical office building
Crews began pouring cement for Broward Health Medical Center’s new office building and garage, a 2027 project meant to ease parking pressure and expand specialty care.
Broward Health has begun pouring cement for a new medical office building and parking garage across from Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, a project scheduled to be finished in 2027. The addition is meant to make the campus easier to use for patients, visitors and employees while opening space for more outpatient and specialty care.
The new medical office building is planned as an eight-story, 188,000-square-foot facility with 129 exam rooms and room to grow to 237. Broward Health said the site will house cardiovascular services, pulmonology, primary care, gastroenterology, neuroscience and women’s services, a lineup that puts more specialties in one place instead of forcing patients to travel farther for appointments.
The parking garage will add about 300,000 square feet and nearly 700 spaces. That capacity matters on a campus where parking and arrival times can affect everything from specialist visits to routine follow-ups, especially for patients who need frequent appointments or come with family members and caregivers. Broward Health said the design is built around flexibility, scalability and standardized clinic layouts so the space can adapt as care patterns change.
More than 150 dignitaries attended the construction milestone, including elected officials from Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach and Plantation, along with business and community leaders from around Broward County. Broward Health Medical Center CEO Manny Linares has said the new facilities are intended to give physicians and care teams modern, efficient space that supports collaboration, growth and high-quality care.
Broward Health has also said the Fort Lauderdale project, along with freestanding emergency departments still in development, represents its first new construction in 25 years. The medical office building at Broward Health North, where a related groundbreaking drew more than 100 people in April 2026, is also planned for 2027 completion, extending the system’s expansion beyond Fort Lauderdale to northern Broward County.
