Health insurer relocates HQ to new $350M Plantation Walk development
Health insurance firm Aetna is moving out of its Sunrise office and into Art Falcone’s $350 million planned Plantation Walk development.
Aetna will be the project’s first office tenant. The move comes less than a year after CVS Health announced it would acquire Aetna for $69 billion.
Aetna plans to move into an 85,000-square-foot office space in December, according to a news release. The 160,000-square-foot building will be home to Aetna’s Medicare, Medicaid and Aetna International divisions.
The lease brings occupancy at the building to 92 percent, according to Jay Adams of Newmark Knight Frank, the firm that handles office leasing for Plantation Walk.
Falcone is the CEO and managing principal of Encore Capital Management. Its Plantation Walk project at 321 North University Drive will feature 700 luxury rental apartments and 200,000 square feet of retail, once complete.
