Orlando Health completes Institute Square, a new medical campus next to Bayfront Hospital in downtown St. Pete
/
Orlando Health has completed construction on Institute Square, a new medical campus just north of its 480-bed Bayfront Hospital in downtown St. Petersburg’s Innovation District.
The development spans an entire city block bounded by 5th Avenue South, 6th Avenue South, 7th Street South, and 8th Street South.
It includes a four-story Orlando Health Medical Pavilion, a three-story Orlando Health Women’s Pavilion, and a five-story, 817-space parking garage that also houses an imaging center and a wound care center.
Hospital leaders are expected to formally mark the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 12th.
Construction on the project began in late 2023, led by Turner Construction Company. Orlando-based construction firm Finfrock built the parking garage.

A long-delayed project that will deliver 24 affordable homes for working families is nearing completion and preparing to welcome its first residents.
The bright white-and-blue, two-story townhomes line 6th and 7th avenues South near 22nd Street South, directly across from the Manhattan Casino.
The City of St. Petersburg purchased the land in 2007 for $2.2 million using a federal grant. However, the project was not announced until 2019 under former Mayor Rick Kriseman as part of the broader Deuces Rising initiative, which aims to revitalize the Deuces, the historic African American entertainment and business district along the 22nd Street South corridor.
Built by Tampa-based Horus Construction Services, the development includes twelve 1,780-square-foot townhomes with three bedrooms and twelve 1,525-square-foot townhomes with two bedrooms.
