Project is part of healthcare expansion within rapidly growing Wiregrass Ranch community
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — Flagship Healthcare Properties (Flagship), an outpatient healthcare real estate firm, is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of Wiregrass Ranch Medical Pavilion I, a 46,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art medical office development located at Strickland Avenue and Wiregrass Ranch Boulevard in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Construction will take about 11 months, and initial tenants are scheduled to open in 4Q 2026.
A groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the project was held Dec. 9, marking a significant milestone for healthcare expansion within the rapidly growing Wiregrass Ranch community.
Wiregrass Ranch Medical Pavilion I is situated on a major north-south connector within Wiregrass Ranch, a 5,000-acre master-planned lifestyle destination established by the Porter Family in 1942. Originally used for cattle ranching and citrus orchards, Wiregrass Ranch has evolved through the Porters’ long-term vision into a vibrant community featuring residential neighborhoods, schools, greenspace, trails, and premier institutions designed to serve generations of families.
The property is strategically positioned directly across from the new 102-bed Orlando Health Hospital, currently under construction and scheduled to open in Spring 2026, as well as across from Legacy Wiregrass Ranch, a large-scale mixed-use development planned to include more than 3,000 residential units, along with hotels, office, and retail components.
The project will be anchored by Florida ENT & Allergy, the largest ear, nose, and throat practice in the Tampa Bay area. With more than 45 years of service and 13 locations throughout the region, Florida ENT & Allergy brings a strong clinical presence and longstanding commitment to the local community.
Ownership of Wiregrass Ranch Medical Pavilion I will be a joint venture between Flagship Healthcare Trust, the Porter Family, and Florida ENT & Allergy, with Flagship Healthcare Properties serving as Project Developer and Managing Member. Atlantic Union Bank provided financing for the project, and Precise Construction will serve as the general contractor.
Located about 30 miles north of downtown Tampa via Interstate 75, Wesley Chapel is one of Florida’s fastest-growing communities, with a population exceeding 160,000 residents. Known for its luxury master-planned communities, top-rated schools, and exceptional shopping and entertainment offerings, Wesley Chapel has become a premier destination for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
“We are excited to bring this state-of-the-art medical facility to the Wiregrass Ranch community,” said Dev Gregg, Flagship’s Executive Vice President of Development. “This project reflects our commitment to delivering thoughtfully designed healthcare real estate in high-growth markets, and partnering with best-in-class providers to meet the needs of growing communities.”
