Skanska Signs Additional USD 60M Contract for Hospital Construction in Florida
Swedish construction firm Skanska has signed an additional contract worth USD 60 million (about SEK 560 million) with Lee Health to expand the construction of a new hospital and medical office building in Fort Myers, Florida. The project includes interior finishes and mechanical work for the West Bed Tower expansion as part of a larger development that involves constructing a five-story hospital covering approximately 38,600 square meters and a central energy plant. Construction on this major healthcare infrastructure initiative began in June 2024 and is expected to be completed by May 2028. The additional contract will contribute to Skanska's US order bookings for the third quarter of 2026, reflecting ongoing progress in its North American operations.
