The JLL team of Barbara Liberatore Black, Managing Director; Alan Kleber, Managing Director; and Vice President Cameron Tallon just completed one of the largest office deals in the West Palm Beach market so far this year, according to a release.
The firm represented Modernizing Medicine, a healthcare technology company headquartered in Boca Raton, in an expansion of over 50,000 square feet. Modernizing Medicine will expand its operations to the Boca Raton Innovation Center (BRIC) and with this expansion will add a total of 838 jobs by 2022.
JLL represented the tenant in the lease transaction and its Project Development Services division is also overseeing the buildout of the new offices.
“As a health information technology leader born here in South Florida, Modernizing Medicine continues to drive innovation in the healthcare technology field with specialty-specific solutions for physicians. We worked closely with Modernizing Medicine’s leadership to ensure the expansion could accommodate its current operations and future growth,” said Black.
“This lease allows the company to expand its operations in the Boca Raton Innovation Center, while creating hundreds of new jobs and making a significant economic contribution to Palm Beach County. By leasing over 50,000 square feet, Modernizing Medicine will be able to grow its presence in a building known for hatching breakthrough innovations,” Black said.
Headquartered in Boca Raton, Modernizing Medicine was founded in 2010 by chief executive officer Daniel Cane and chief medical and strategy officer Dr. Michael Sherling and has quickly grown to more than 550 employees. The company empowers physicians with suites of mobile, specialty-specific solutions designed to transform how healthcare information is created, consumed and utilized to increase efficiency and improve outcomes.
Cane said, “We are extremely excited to expand our presence and create more jobs across a wide range of fields in South Florida. As a Florida-based technology company, it’s not lost on us that we’re in the backyard of where the modern day era of technology was born. We’re proud to work with Enterprise Florida, the City of Boca Raton and the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County to continue to enhance the already stellar reputation as an area of innovation and growth. I look forward to seeing the company’s long-term impact on the community as well as the modernization of medicine.”
