Rendina Plans 60,000 SF Medical Office Building as Part of Beachwalk Master Planned Community in Jacksonville Florida

St. Johns County, Fla.

Rendina Healthcare Real Estate, a nationwide real estate developer for hospitals, health systems and physician groups, has partnered with Twin Creeks Development Associates to develop a 60,000-square-foot medical office building as part of the Beachwalk master-planned community in northern St. Johns County, located approximately 20 miles southeast of Jacksonville. The medical office building will include various services and specialties from area healthcare providers, offering convenient medical care for the residents of Beachwalk and the surrounding communities.

Beachwalk is a 1,200-acre master-planned community centered around a 14-acre, man-made Crystal Lagoon – currently the largest in the United States.



Beachwalk is expected to have 2,800 single family residential units and 348 apartments – the first of which sold in 2017 with sales increasing through 2018 and 2019. Construction on the retail space is expected to commence in early 2020.



St. Johns County continues to experience major economic and population growth. The population grew 28 percent from 2010 to 2017, making St. Johns one of the fastest growing counties in the country. Its top-rated school district and low unemployment have attracted transplants from across the nation. The population growth and compelling economics have spurred investment from developers across all real estate asset classes.

Medical Offices are Filling Space Vacated by Retail

Healthcare developers and providers like the locations, traffic, and parking these spaces offer.

Within the $400 billion global market for healthcare construction, two-fifths of all new retail transactions are for medical offices, compared to 2% a decade ago, according to recent AIA estimates.

As more developers, landowners, and retail strip owners look for ways to bring a medical facility to their properties, “nontraditional retail spaces for healthcare services are expected to continue to rise in popularity,” predicts JLL in its 2019 research report “Retail and the New Healthcare Consumer.”
