Preparing to open in August, health-insurer Humana is remodeling space at the Merchants Walk shopping center in Mandarin for its MarketPoint office.
The city approved a permit Friday for Adams Interior Contractors Inc. to renovate 4,623 square feet of space at the center at a construction cost of $336,085.
Merchants Walk is at 9965 San Jose Blvd. About 40 Humana and CarePlus Health Plans sales agents and customer service staff will relocate there.
Humana’s strategy is to move its sales and service workforce into retail settings closer to members.
The company is leaving its Downtown offices at SunTrust Tower, moving its retail center to Merchants Walk and its regional executive and market offices to the Prominence office park in Baymeadows.
More than 80 leadership, administrative and network positions will move to Prominence.
