Topping off ceremony for Lillibridge MOB on Florida Hospital campus

SURGICAL MEDICAL PLAZA IN EAST ORLANDO IS WELL UNDERWAY

CHICAGO IL and ORLANDO FL, Feb-4, 2009– Community physicians, hospital representatives, engineers, architects and contractors will all be in attendance February 17 at 11:00 a.m., for the topping off ceremony at the new Surgical Medical Plaza.

Located on the campus of Florida Hospital East Orlando, the new medical office building (MOB) will be owned and managed by Lillibridge, one of the nation’s largest private healthcare real estate firms.

A 13,000 square foot ambulatory surgery center will be the anchor tenant and will be located on the first floor in the new three-story, 60,000 square foot MOB. Chicago-based Lillibridge will develop and own the facility located at 258 Chickasaw Trail in East Orlando.

The Surgical Medical Plaza will offer physicians state-of-the art features and custom-designed suites. The ambulatory surgery center (ASC) on the first floor will make it convenient for doctors to perform surgeries and locate their practices in the same building.

The facility will have an attractive, modern design and will feature separate covered patient drop-off areas for the main entry and one for exiting post-surgery patients as well. The building is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2009.

"It has been great working with Lillibridge on the Surgical Medical Plaza building," says Ed Noseworthy, CEO, East Orlando Hospital. "They have the experience necessary to navigate all the city and county approvals and reviews and they are outstanding in working with our physicians. We are looking forward to the completion of this high quality medical office building and ambulatory surgery center."

"We've had a very strong relationship with Florida Hospital System for many years," says Lillibridge Chairman and CEO Todd W. Lillibridge. "We're excited about the great progress we've made to date on the new Surgical Medical Plaza on the East Orlando Hospital campus and are looking forward to its completion."
