Sutter's Plan

Sutter Health's Medical Campus Proposal

Project Plan

Sutter is proposing a new hospital complex between 53rd Street and Stanford Avenue and Hollis and Horton Streets in Emeryville. The plan calls for construction to begin in 2028, with medical office buildings opening by 2029 and the hospital by 2033. The complex consists of:

A 325-bed hospital, emergency department, operating rooms, labor and delivery suites, and NICU.
785,000 square feet, 330 feet tall, and 17 stories including a helipad.
3 or 4 medical office buildings: 2 repurposed from former biotech buildings and 1 or 2 new buildings.
A new building for either employee housing or another medical office building.
An existing parking garage on Horton Street.

Site Circulation and Parking

Sutter Health's project plan projects:

20,000 projected vehicle trips per day, with 1,500-1,800 per hour at peak hours.
11 employee and patient shuttles running every 5-15 minutes.
20-30% of employees are expected to commute via transit or shuttle from off-site parking at Alta Bates and other sites; all physicians will park on-site.
Less than 2,000 on-site parking spaces in the existing garage.
Existing raised bike lanes on 53rd Street and Horton Street will have curb cuts and significant car traffic crossing them.
Removal of the existing traffic diverter on Horton Street between 53rd Street and Stanford Avenue to enable traffic to flow down to the existing parking garage
