Civil engineering plans are in review for a two-story medical office building in the master-planned Seven Pines community at southeast Kernan and Butler boulevards.
The 50,000-square-foot facility is on 3.53 acres on Stillwood Pines Boulevard, east of Resolution Drive and south of Butler Boulevard.
The property is part of the Seven Pines community owned by the Skinner family of Jacksonville.
Onicx Development of Tampa is the developer. The company has built eight medical facilities in Florida including the Brooks Rehab Rehabilitation Facility in Jacksonville. Other Florida-based medical office buildings and treatment centers are in Miami, Trinity, Poinciana, Gainesville and Clearwater.
Andrew Pavalis of Pavalis Architekton in Tarpon Springs is the architect. The firm has designed five Florida medical buildings in Brandon, Fort Myers, Ocala, Lakewood Ranch and Trinity.
Jacksonville-based England, Thims & Miller Inc. of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.
East of the property is where Life Time, an athletic and fitness club, bought 8.5 acres at the entrance to Seven Pines. To the west is the planned Baptist Medical at Seven Pines on 10.52 acres it bought in 2021.
Seven Pines represents the last 1,000 acres of developable land owned by the Skinner family. At one time the Skinner family owned 50,000 acres in Northeast Florida.
CI Homes and David Weekley Homes bought 550 acres in the community in 2020 and the first model homes were unveiled in October 2022.
A.C. “Chip” Skinner III, president of Skinner Bros. Realty, said in 2022 that the decision to sell was generational.
Before the sale, nine family members owned the land, and soon children would have become stakeholders as well. The numbers would have become unwieldy to make decisions about the property’s future.
“With the next generation, the numbers will exponentially increase. It was the right time for the family to sell,” Skinner said.
The property, which served as a timber farm as well as a refuge for Skinner family gatherings and hunting excursions, is named after the seven original Skinner brothers. The family built its wealth in the timber and dairy farming industries.
When the development was announced plans called for apartments, offices, restaurants, retail and a movie theater.
In 2021, Baptist Health paid $10 million for 10 acres for a future medical facility within the development.
