A Quick Snapshot of the Upcoming Facility
So, what’s all the fuss about? This retail expansion will ultimately stretch to 25,000 square feet.

Once up and running, this community gem is set to provide a range of healthcare services that cater to eye care enthusiasts and those in need of physical therapy. It’s all part of UHealth’s mission to expand vital health services in a bustling urban center.
Growing the UHealth Family

That’s a lot going on!
Building on Success
By the way, UHealth is no stranger to the area. Just last November, they opened the impressive UHealth Doral Medical Center, a 160,000-square-foot facility that offers everything from cancer care to orthopedics. That location was made possible thanks to the efforts of Robins & Morton, the general contractor who helped make this vision a reality.

This new facility will not only provide health services but will also allow them to reach a larger population in South Florida.
