Barry Darnell, St. Vincents system director of major construction, said the building should open in early October 2013 on the same day as the St. Vincents Medical Center Clay County.

Plans shows the office building will be a 60,090-square-foot, three-story structure on 4.72 acres on the hospital campus at Blanding Boulevard and Branan Field Road.

Johnson Development is the developer and Prosser Hallock is shown on plans as the engineer.

Darnell said St. Vincents is leasing the ground to Johnson Development, based in Birmingham, Ala., for development. He said the company specializes in medical office buildings.

Darnell said Johnson Development will negotiate the tenants and leases. St. Vincents said the hospital will use 20,000 square feet of space there for some of its departments and physicians.

Darnell said the parcel could support another medical office building, but there was no timetable for construction.

Darnell said the shell of the medical office building will cost about $10 million and the build-out is about $5 million.

He also estimates it will create about 125 construction jobs and 250-300 medical and related jobs within the building once completed.
