| Proposed Kaiser Hospital Tower in the Railyards |
Nearly 2 ½ years after Kaiser submitted plans to the Planning
and Design Commission to build a hospital in the railyards, Kaiser has
announced the purchase of 18 acres for $33 million. Entitlements began in 2015,
hopefully construction will begin soon now that the land has been obtained. The
first phase of the will cost $749.5 million. Plans call for the 14-story
hospital to include 420 beds as well as a large medical office. No date has
been set for when construction will begin. Below is a map showing the current building height map, it appears most of the land is unrestricted.

It's too bad Kaiser couldn't locate their new facilities right next to the light rail and heavy rail services at the railyards. While their location is good, beting "downtown", it could have been much better if aligned with the existing rail services. A three quarter mile to a mile walk is much different from a quarter mile or less of a walk. That last mile is a real challenge, and there is a great opportunity to simply locate the hospital closer to the existing rail services. E bikes and scooter could help, but nothing quite beats being closer...
