Dive Brief:
- Sacramento, California-based Sutter Health will build a $442 million neurological and neurosurgical care complex in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, the company announced on April 4.
- The facility will be located adjacent to its existing California Pacific Medical Center, Mission Bernal Campus, according to the release, on the former St. Luke’s hospital site. The build kicks off a five year plan that the medical giant claims will total nearly $1 billion in investment across the city at its conclusion.
- Sutter selected Appleton, Wisconsin-based builder Boldt Co. to deliver the new five-story, 129,000-square-foot care center, the company confirmed to Construction Dive via email. It will officially accept patients in 2028.
Dive Insight:
Services at the care complex will initially include neurology and neurosurgery, as well as high-demand services such as lab, imaging, infusion, rehabilitation and an on-site ambulatory surgery center, per the release. Patients will also have access to the latest research and clinical trials at the facility.
In addition, Sutter’s Ray Dolby Brain Health Center and Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Research and Treatment Center will move to the new complex, according to the release.
“Sutter Health is doubling down on its commitment to make significant investments that greatly expand access to advanced specialty care to meet the care needs of San Francisco residents and the entire Bay Area,” said Warner Thomas, Sutter Health’s CEO, in the release.
Other builders have also recently kicked off healthcare projects. Gilbane broke ground on a $410 million hospital facility in Brevard County, Florida, on March 21, and a joint venture led by New York City-based Turner Construction broke ground in January on a $550 million project in San Antonio, Texas.
Boldt also has a history with Sutter. The Midwest contractor, as part of a joint venture with San Francisco-based general contractor Herrero Builders, erected the health network’s $1.3 billion hospital in San Francisco, which opened in 2019.
