Baptist Medical Center is seeking a construction permit to build its proposed medical office building at 11851 Stillwood Pines Blvd. in Seven Pines.
The application follows the city’s issuance of a site-clearing permit Oct. 2 at a project cost of $3 million.
The building-permit application shows a job cost of $200,000 but that appears to be an estimate that will be adjusted.
Baptist Medical Center wants to build a two-story, 52,000-square-foot medical office building, and a future building, on the 10.52-acre site.
Brasfield & Gorrie LLC is the contractor. The project manager is Dallas-based e4h Environments for Health. England-Thims & Miller Inc. of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.
The Skinner family is selling land within the 1,063-acre Seven Pines, a residential and commercial development at southeast Butler Boulevard and Interstate 295.
The project site for Baptist Medical at Seven Pines is at the northside end of Stillwood Pines Boulevard.
Pavilion Health Services, which buys and holds properties for Baptist Health facilities, bought the land from Sawmill Timber LLC, comprising members of the Skinner family.
England-Thims & Miller submitted the site-clearing permit application Sept. 24 as well as plans April 11 that show the two-story, 52,000-square-foot medical office building and a future two-story, 68,000-square-foot medical office building.
That application says the project is for land development for a commercial medical office with a 120,000-square-foot building footprint, including parking, landscaping and underground utilities.
Upon the property deal, Sawmill member Edward Skinner Jones said the first sale in Seven Pines Village Center would be a Baptist Health center.
The deed covenants and restrictions said the use of the purchased property is restricted to the development and operation of medical facilities and commercial offices of no more than 120,000 square feet of space.
The medical facilities included but were not limited to “medical offices, ambulatory surgery center, supplemental, multispecialty clinic or imaging center.”
The agreement for sale and purchase was dated March 22, 2021.
The Village Center property is designed for food, commercial, entertainment, hotels and other uses.
Seven Pines will comprise 1,600 single-family homes, apartments and more than 1 million square feet of commercial and retail space. It will include a 34-acre park with a lake.
Seven Pines, previously referred to as the Southeast Quadrant, is the last large undeveloped Duval County site that remains of the Skinner family’s original 50,000 acres from the late 1800s.
Seven Pines stands for the seven Skinner brothers who looked after the family’s large landholdings.
The property has been owned by the Skinners for more than a century for agricultural uses such as silviculture, cattle grazing and hunting.
ICI Homes and David Weekley Homes is developing the single-family residential portion of Seven Pines.
