Lee Health identified a growing need to expand pediatric and family medicine services in the Fort Myers region and partnered with Landmark Health Facilities and Kahler Slater to deliver a build-to-suit medical center. Located on a 9.7-acre site, the approximately 60,000-square-foot, two-story development integrates a medical office building with a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center, expanding access to high-quality care for the community.

The building supports a broad range of pediatric and family-focused services within a welcoming and supportive environment. Patients and visitors arrive through a covered drop-off and enter a bright, two-story lobby that serves as a central gathering space, helping families feel oriented and at ease. Integrated artwork and clear branding enhance wayfinding while contributing to a calm, reassuring experience.

The first floor is dedicated to pediatric surgical services and includes four operating rooms, two endoscopy procedure rooms, and associated clinical and support spaces organized for efficient workflows and safe, high-quality care. Outpatient services are located on the second floor and include a 30-exam-room Graduate Medical Education Clinic and a six-exam-room Pediatric Clinic. Staff lounges and support areas are thoughtfully integrated to promote collaboration, flexibility, and wellness for care teams.

Resiliency is a fundamental driver of the project. The design accommodates future horizontal expansion and incorporates strategies to address natural disasters common to the region. These measures support long-term adaptability, safety, and durability in a challenging coastal environment.

Kahler Slater is providing comprehensive design services, including the building shell, core, and interior design. Korda is serving as the structural and MEP/FP engineer, with Johnson Engineering providing civil and landscape engineering services. Stevens Construction is the general contractor. Project completion is anticipated in late 2027.
