Ponte Health is developing projects that incorporate seniors housing with medical and research facilities in dense urban settings. : As her first vertical medical city for seniors, a $1.1-billion, 1.4-million-sq.-ft. project, is starting construction in Orlando, Fla., Tabitha Ponte, CEO of Ponte Health, is planning her second medical city. Work on the next site, in downtown Chicago, will start in several months, with the project costing $600 million at a much smaller scale than the Orlando one.
