UF HEALTH/SHANDS HOSPITAL SUBAREA
UF Health/Shands Hospital Subarea Key Zones and Anchor Institutions
These stations (VA Clinic, UF Health/Shands, and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway) serve the hospital, VA Clinic, the Brentwood, and Springfield neighborhoods. This area is dominated by the larger scale buildings of the hospital campus and other educational, medical, and social service sector uses. The residential includes several multifamily subsidized housing complexes, including the recently refurbished Hogan Creek Towers and others. There also exists considerable historic single-family housing and some new infill townhome style housing situated along the grided street neighborhoods of Springfield and Brentwood. The major redevelopment and infill opportunities associated with TOD include continued expansion of the hospital campus with some neighborhood serving retail, medical office, and additional market rate, higher density residential occurring east of I-95, and west of North Main Street. There are many long-time residents living in rental households in the historic single-family neighborhoods who are at risk for displacement as property values rise. Therefore, this is also an area where targeted rent-to-own programs and other TOD strategies are needed.

Overall Subarea Strategies
• Hospital is a job anchor – particularly for the resident profile of the corridor; nearby residential is gentrifying with existing non-subsidized affordable rental housing at high risk. • Hospital’s expansion plans will drive economic growth and can be used to help create new community benefits with the right agreements in place. • Areas of concentrated poverty and subsidized housing require intervention to bring up household incomes, improved access to jobs, education, etc. • JHA can be a major partner to create infill housing of mixed-income to upgrade existing affordable units and infill with mixed-income to deconcentrate neighborhoods of persistent poverty.

Overarching Ideas
TOD Priorities
→ MLK Jr. Parkway → UF Health/Shands → VA Clinic
• Jobs node within the Corridor. • Neighborhood already experiencing residential infill. • Hospital workforce commuting from elsewhere in region.
• Increase opportunities for UF Health workers to live nearby. • Improve connectivity between health system & neighborhood. • Preserve affordability for existing residents.
