WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — Flagship Healthcare Properties has broken ground on Wiregrass Ranch Medical Pavilion I, a 46,000-square-foot medical office building planned at the intersection of Strickland Avenue and Wiregrass Ranch Boulevard in Wesley Chapel, Fla. The company said construction is expected to take about 11 months, with initial tenants scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Flagship said a ceremonial groundbreaking for the project was held Dec. 9, framing the start of work as part of broader healthcare growth in the Wiregrass Ranch area.
The development will sit on a major north-south connector within Wiregrass Ranch, a 5,000-acre master-planned community established by the Porter Family in 1942, according to the announcement.

Florida ENT & Allergy will be the anchor tenant. Flagship described the practice as the largest ear, nose and throat provider in the Tampa Bay area, and said it has served the region for more than 45 years with 13 locations.
