Moss and Miller Join Forces in Florida

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Moss & Associates and Miller Construction Co. joined forces to form Moss Miller Healthcare, a firm designed to meet the growing demand for hospitals, clinics and research institutions in Florida.

 

The two companies will remain independent entities while pooling resources for Moss Miller Healthcare. Executive team members of the new Moss Miller Healthcare venture are responsible for collectively overseeing more than $2.5 billion in medical facility construction projects.
 
“The economy has kept the lid on Florida healthcare work, but with construction costs lower than they’ve been since the 1980s, we’re beginning to see requests for significant hospital projects,” says Joe Harris, executive vice resident of Moss Miller Healthcare. “As hospitals’ financial investments recover, we expect the flow of projects will accelerate.”

Miller Construction Co. has worked in the south Florida healthcare market for 20 years and has completed 55 healthcare facility projects, all of which have passed final AHCA inspections. Most recently, the company completed a multi-phase renovation of the Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston, Fla., and the company has worked on dozens of projects for Holy Cross Hospital of Fort Lauderdale.

Moss & Associates is the state’s seventh largest privately held construction firm. The company recently completed two clinical facilities for Leon Medical Centers, as well as the $72 million University of Miami Biomedical Research Building.

 

“Blending our expert healthcare teams gives us a strong, cost-effective platform for growth,” says Wayne Hannaka, vice president of Moss Miller Healthcare. “Our operational systems are already in place through several joint ventures, and our people have a shared commitment to exceptional service and craftsmanship.”

Moss & Associates and Miller Construction Co. have a long history of collaborating on construction projects. Current and recent Moss/Miller projects include mixed-use Himmarshee Landing in Fort Lauderdale, the $64 million University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Fla., and the 7-story, 500,000-square-foot Plaza San Remo, a mixed-use complex in Coral Gables, Fla.
