Seven Pines’ fast‑growing medical scene is about to get a hefty new player. HALO Precision Diagnostics is set to open a sizable imaging and precision‑diagnostics center in the neighborhood after the city issued a construction permit on Feb. 13. The permit covers a roughly $4.1 million interior fit‑out that would convert the ground floor of a new medical office building into a 24,900‑square‑foot diagnostics hub, adding a specialty imaging and early‑detection option to a part of town already drawing fresh health and wellness investment.
According to Jacksonville Daily Record, the city permit names Onicx LLC of Tampa as the contractor for a 24,907‑square‑foot fit‑out in Suite 100 on the building's ground floor at 11885 Stillwood Pines Blvd. The filing describes the work as an imaging and precision‑diagnostics build‑out with an estimated cost of about $4.1 million. City records list the permit issuance date as Feb. 13.
What HALO Precision Diagnostics Offers
HALO bills itself as a precision diagnostics company that combines whole‑body imaging, genomics, liquid biomarkers and digital pathology to detect disease earlier and guide personalized care pathways. The company says its centers consolidate advanced MRI and targeted testing alongside physician review to speed diagnosis and referrals. Those capabilities would bring higher‑end screening and multidisciplinary diagnostics to southeast Jacksonville, per the company's description. HALO Precision Diagnostics emphasizes integrated testing and rapid results at its partner centers.
Where The Center Will Sit
The HALO center is planned for Suite 100 of a two‑story, 50,000‑square‑foot medical office building being developed by Onicx Group at 11885 Stillwood Pines Blvd. Onicx paid roughly $2.6 million for the parcel, and the city issued a shell construction permit for the building in May 2025, according to earlier reporting. Colliers marketing materials cited in that reporting indicate the second floor is still available for lease, leaving room for additional medical tenants. Jacksonville Daily Record previously covered the Onicx permit and property purchase.
Part Of A Growing Health Hub
The Onicx project will sit adjacent to Baptist Health's new Seven Pines campus, which Baptist Health said it broke ground on in February 2025 and expects to open in spring 2026 with primary care, cardiology and wellness services. The proximity of a system medical campus and a specialty diagnostics center could strengthen outpatient capacity on Jacksonville's southside and give local residents more options for screening and follow‑up care. Baptist Health framed the campus as bringing preventive and ambulatory services closer to the growing neighborhood.
What To Watch Next
There is no public opening date for the HALO center yet, and fit‑out timelines typically show up in follow‑on city filings and permit activity. For now, the most concrete signals are the Feb. 13 interior permit and the ongoing lease marketing for the building's upper floor. Watch construction and leasing notices in city records for the clearest indication of when patient services will begin.
