JLL announced that Pennsylvania-based PeopleOne Health has selected the firm to spearhead leasing efforts for the healthcare company’s expansion plans into the Florida market. PeopleOne Health has opened three new locations in the Central Florida area this year, with two additional locations slated to open by the end of this year.
The JLL brokerage team of Managing Director Lucia Hedke and Associate Justin Simakas handled all lease transactions for the company.
PeopleOne Health was founded with a simple notion – to keep people healthier. Funded by employers, the model delivers a wide range of prevention and treatment services for both physical and mental health needs. Led by top-tier doctors, their medical care teams focus on each member and guiding them towards a happy, healthier life.
"Orlando is experiencing a significant rise in demand for innovative healthcare solutions, making it a pivotal market for healthcare companies looking to expand into the Sunshine State,” said Lucia Hedke, JLL Managing Director. “PeopleOne Health's commitment to delivering personalized, accessible care aligns with the evolving needs of the Central Florida community, which continues to grow and is made up of a significant aging population.”
PeopleOne Health tackles rising healthcare costs by emphasizing preventive care, which minimizes the need for costly procedures, medications, and chronic condition management. Fully employer-funded, it provides employees with personalized care from top healthcare professionals, with no copays, deductibles, or coinsurance. This approach not only ensures quality care without financial barriers but also helps employers attract and retain talent while cutting healthcare costs by up to 30%. PeopleOne Health focuses on partnering with forward-thinking employers and establishing centers in underserved areas, where access to quality primary care is limited.
"Our expansion into new locations is not just about growth; it's about our commitment to revolutionizing healthcare delivery,” said Dean Hatcher, President of PeopleOne Health. “We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable care that prioritizes their wellbeing. By extending our reach, we can empower more individuals with the tools and support they need to lead healthier lives. Our mission is to create a healthcare system that works for people, and this expansion is a vital step in making that vision a reality."
RosenCare, established by Harris Rosen of Rosen Hotels and Resorts, is partnering with PeopleOne Health in their expansion efforts in Florida. The partnership’s first two locations included a collaboration with local public entities offering primary care, pharmacy, and mental health services to the tens of thousands of employees and their families of Putnam County Government and Orange County Public Schools, respectively.
In its initiative to open in healthcare deserts, PeopleOne Health’s inaugural Florida health center opened earlier this year in rural Palatka, FL, located at 6100 Saint Johns Ave, which quickly attracted close to 400 members from the Putnam County Government (a 30% enrollment rate). Its latest health center opened at 207 W. Gore Street in Orlando in September to serve employees of Orange County Public Schools, occupying 2,500 to 5,000 square feet of space.
Additional Orlando-area health centers will open later this year, impacting thousands of lives. Locations include:
- 5840 W. Colonial Drive
- 7350 Sandlake Commons Blvd.
- 5449 S. Semoran Blvd.
According to JLL’s Q1 Medical Office Building Report, the market has recorded positive absorption for the last five years showing signs of consistency and strong tenant demand. Population growth and an aging demographic are significant factors behind Orlando’s thriving healthcare sector. As the population ages, there is a rising demand for specialized medical care and facilities. Additionally, Orlando's status as a major tourist and hospitality destination are also contributing factors highlights the importance of an increasing need for medical services.
