Preliminary plans have been filed for a dense new medical campus at 5300 Chiron Way in Emeryville, Alameda County. Sutter Health is responsible for the multi-structure master plan, with the tallest component rising to around 330 feet. Construction is estimated to start in 2029, with completion as early as 2033.
Currently, Sutter Health has published an initial overview for the master plan. The proposal calls for a 330-foot-tall office tower dubbed Building B8, containing 785,000 square feet across 17 floors. The complex would include 325 patient beds, an emergency room, a pharmacy, an ICU, and several floors dedicated to surgical facilities.

The other new structure planned in the master plan is dubbed Building B1, a five-story complex expected to include either medical offices or a 57-unit residential building at the corner of Chiron Way, Stanford Avenue, and Hollis Street.
The recent proposal comes just over a year after Sutter Health purchased the 12-acre campus from BioMed Realty for approximately $450 million. The transaction includes a mix of vacant parcels and pre-built life science offices. Speaking at the time, the president and CEO of Sutter Health, Warner Thomas, said that the “Emeryville campus project represents one of the most significant investments we’re making across our system over the next decade and is part of our broader vision to meet the community’s growing demand for expanded access to our services across the East Bay footprint.”

Further information about the future design and architecture team has not yet been shared.
The current tallest structure in Emeryville is Pacific Park Plaza, built in 1984. The 30-story residential has a 318-foot-tall rooftop with 580 units overlooking Interstate 80. As of the 2020 census, Emeryville is the fourth-densest city in the East Bay and the seventh-densest in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a population of nearly 13,000 residents living in a 1.27-square-mile municipality.
