Health care real estate developer PMB and El Camino Health with Lifepoint Rehabilitation, a business unit of Lifepoint Health, broke ground on a new inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Sunnyvale, Calif., on April 24, 2025.
The rehabilitation facility will expand access to specialized care in a setting built specifically to support healing and recovery. Construction on the 64,000-sq.-ft., 52-bed HCAI 1 project began, and the new facility is scheduled to start taking patients in the spring of 2027.
The project team includes PMB of Solana Beach, Calif., as developer; Material Design Architects of San Diego, Calif., as architect; and Truebeck Construction of San Mateo, Calif., as design-builder.
Ross Coyle, a communications spokesperson of the facility, told mv-voice.com that the hospital's projected cost is $120 million.
Located at 1027 West El Camino Real, the project is designed with a patient-centered approach that will provide a safe and therapeutic environment for individuals in need of comprehensive rehabilitation services. Committed to delivering high-quality care, the facility will integrate the latest advancements in technology and research to enhance patient recovery and outcomes and is the latest example of El Camino Health's continued strategic growth within the Bay Area.
"PMB is honored to be working with El Camino Health and Lifepoint Rehabilitation on this project that will provide the residents of Sunnyvale increased access to high-quality rehabilitation care," said Nolan Weinberg, senior vice president of development of PMB. "This continued partnership with Lifepoint Rehabilitation is a great example of how we support the strategy of our health care partners to satisfy the needs of both the community and practitioners in convenient, high-quality settings."
This new inpatient rehabilitation facility will feature 52 all-private rooms with full bathrooms, including specialty care patient rooms. It will provide acute adult inpatient care for individuals recovering from strokes, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and other severe conditions.
Key clinical services will include physical and occupational therapies, speech pathology services and specialized programs dedicated to neurological, stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputation rehabilitation.
A key feature of the new hospital will be a secured brain injury unit with private dining and a dedicated therapy gym. Additionally, while in treatment, patients will benefit from large interdisciplinary gyms and a therapeutic courtyard featuring golf, gardens and varied surfaces designed to enhance mobility training. The facility also will include a transitional living apartment, designed to simulate a residential environment, where patients can practice daily living tasks in preparation for a smooth transition back home.
El Camino Health will provide a suite of ancillary and support services, including laboratory services, radiology, security, employee health, medical staff credentialing, biomedical engineering and managed care contracting.
"The El Camino Health Rehabilitation Hospital allows us to expand access to high-quality rehabilitation services and further solidifies El Camino Health's growing reputation as Silicon Valley's healthcare partner of choice," said Dan Woods, CEO of El Camino Health. "This new facility is not just about providing rehabilitation services while patients are in treatment — it's about supporting them beyond their stay. With dedicated transitional services, we aim to help patients regain independence and successfully return to their everyday lives."
