October 7, 2024

PENSACOLA, FL – Catalyst Healthcare Real Estate (Catalyst), a full-service healthcare real estate development and investment firm, and National Real Estate Advisors, LLC (National), an investment manager developing and managing large-scale real estate projects on behalf of its clients, celebrate the completion of a 22,382 square foot medical office building (MOB) and ambulatory surgical center (ASC) in Wildwood, Fla.

The development consists of a 13,724-square-foot MOB and an 8658-square-foot ASC for Ocala Eye. Ocala Eye, the largest ophthalmologic physician group within a 25-mile radius, leases 100% of the development. This will be the seventh location Ocala Eye has opened.

This two-building development includes space for routine eye care and space for intensive procedures and services in the ASC. These services expand and complement those offered at Ocala Eye’s other locations while creating better accessibility for patients in the rapidly expanding southern portion of The Villages.

"This completed project signifies a successful partnership between Catalyst and a leading provider of eye care, Ocala Eye," stated Phil Schuck, Senior Vice President of Catalyst. "We have worked alongside Ocala Eye to bring better access to quality care and look forward to seeing the expansion of services in the Villages.

“This project reflects National’s commitment to generating positive returns for our clients through socially responsible investments, nationwide, while seeking to improve the communities in which we invest,” said Jeffrey Kanne, President and CEO of National.  “We look forward to continued growth and working to create a robust medical office portfolio.”

Catalyst is proud to have collaborated on this project, which underscores their commitment to enhancing healthcare. They look forward to continuing their mission of developing state-of-the-art healthcare facilities that create better access, quality outcomes, and lasting relationships.
