Kaiser Permanente broke ground this week for a new 303-bed Kaiser San Jose Medical Center at 250 Hospital Parkway, on the campus of the current 50-year-old hospital. The new hospital is set to open in the fall of 2029.
The project proposal includes new construction of a hospital and energy center, and demolition of the existing medical center. The project site has multiple addresses along southeast of Cottle Road and Highway 85/ramp.
Stance Architecture, a Phoenix, Ariz., firm, is responsible for the designs.
The campus site is a parcel spanning an area of 39.2 acres. The project will demolish the existing 250,000-square-foot, seven-story, 247-bed hospital at 250 Hospital Parkway and remove 130 trees along Santa Teresa Boulevard and Camino Verde Drive.
The project includes the construction of a six-story, 685,000-square-foot hospital and a 35,000- square-foot energy center/service yard, plus a Boulevard and Camino Verde Drive. Additionally, the scope of work includes the construction of a five-level, 350,000-square-foot parking structure.
The existing hospital will be demolished after the construction of the new hospital is complete.
That is WONDERFUL! SERIOUSLY. I am major Kaiser fan. 3 cancer surgeries, 2 serious bowel impaction surgeries. In Santa Clara but its all the same family to me. You keep me alive.
This is where I started out. Grateful for my 20 of employment, experience, and retirement package! And now receiving care at the new San Marcos facility. Proud to be associated with KPG & KFH!
I saw the old hospital built and took a tour before it opened. It was not originally a Kaiser it was a Community Hospital and Kaiser purchased it. It remained Kaiser and Community Hospital for a number of years until Kaiser changed name to Kaiser San Jose Medical. I bought my first home across the street in the Camino Verde area in 1969 and moved to Sunnyvale then back to my home near Oakridge Mall in 1986 so hope to stay here until the end. So exited to see the update of the San Jose Medical Center.
