Stellar Helps Complete UF Health Durbin Park Expansion in Northeast Florida

Stellar supported completion of UF Health Durbin Park, a new health care campus in St. Johns County that adds a hospital, medical office building and energy plant to serve one of Northeast Florida’s fastest-growing areas. The first phase represents a $1 billion investment expected to create about 2,000 jobs and expand access to advanced care across the region.

Why it matters: - UF Health Durbin Park expands access to hospital care, specialty medicine and emergency services for St. Johns County and the broader Northeast Florida region. - The first phase is a $1 billion investment expected to create approximately 2,000 jobs. - The campus is designed to serve patients in one of the region’s fastest-growing communities.

What happened: - Stellar supported completion of UF Health Durbin Park in St. Johns County, Florida. - The campus covers 42.5 acres in the growing Durbin Park community. - The project includes a new three-story, 72,000-square-foot medical office building and a five-story, 220,000-square-foot hospital. - Stellar provided construction management services for the campus.

The details: - UF Health Durbin Park Medical Office Building 1 consolidates specialty services in one location. - The building includes space for general surgery, gynecology, heart and vascular services, laboratory services, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, outpatient rehabilitation, pain management and urology. - Gresham Smith led the design of the medical office building. - Stellar served as the primary construction manager for the medical office building. - UF Health Durbin Park Hospital has 99 inpatient beds. - The hospital includes a 24-hour Emergency Department, acute care, intensive care and emergency care. - The hospital also includes operating rooms, advanced imaging and hybrid labs for interventional procedures. - Stellar provided project management for the hospital as part of a joint venture with Batson-Cook Construction. - Gresham Smith led the design of the hospital. - Stellar also managed construction of a standalone central energy plant that powers and operates the full campus.

Between the lines: - The project combines clinical space, hospital capacity and infrastructure in a single campus buildout, which helps support long-term operations rather than a single building opening. - Stellar’s role across multiple parts of the development reinforces the company’s ongoing health care construction relationship with UF Health. - The campus adds to Stellar’s portfolio of complex health care and large-scale facilities across the Southeast.

What's next: - UF Health Durbin Park is expected to continue serving as a comprehensive health care destination as surrounding growth in St. Johns County and Jacksonville continues. - The broader development is positioned to support evolving patient and family needs across Northeast Florida. - Stellar’s partnership with UF Health continues beyond this project, including work on the Leon L. Haley Jr., MD, Trauma Center for Northeast Florida.

The bottom line: - UF Health Durbin Park gives Northeast Florida a larger, more connected health care hub, and Stellar helped deliver the core facilities and infrastructure that make it work. - More information is available on Stellar’s website and Stellar’s LinkedIn page.
