ConDig (29-Oct–24) Swedish developer and contractor Skanska has bagged a $435 million contract to build a hospital in Fort Myers, Florida.

Under the deal with Lee Health, the company will build a 416,000-square-foot, five story hospital, a central energy plant, and a 125,000-square-foot medical office building, which includes an ambulatory surgery center. 

The project also includes over a dozen operating rooms, rehabilitation gymnasium and specialty clinics for orthopedics, spine, rheumatology care, and infectious diseases – totaling over 5560,000 square feet of healthcare services.

Skanska said that utility construction is underway, with the project slated for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027.

Earlier this month, Skanska secured a $625 million design-build contract to revamp the I-95 highway in Rhode Island, while Skanska announced it had secured two data center deals totaling $321 million at the start of the month.
