Berkeley Healthcare Real Estate Market
Berkeley has 127,654 residents (California Department of Finance, 2026). Its main hospital is Sutter Health's Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, Alta Bates Campus, at 2450 Ashby Avenue, licensed for 339 beds. Sutter's Herrick Campus at 2001 Dwight Way, licensed for 64 beds, is where Sutter plans to expand behavioral health care. Sutter is investing more than $1 billion in a new campus about 2.5 miles away in Emeryville, at Horton and 53rd streets, with outpatient care expected as early as 2028 and a new medical center of up to 200 beds targeted for 2032 to 2033. Alta Bates will remain an acute-care hospital until that medical center opens; Sutter then plans to convert the Ashby campus to an ambulatory surgery center, urgent care and possibly skilled nursing. Medical offices cluster around the Ashby campus, including at Telegraph Avenue and Webster Street, one block from the hospital. Sutter opened the Adeline Care Center at 3075 Adeline Street, above Ashby BART, in May 2025 and expanded it to 33 exam rooms in 2026. Kaiser Permanente's 62,000-square-foot Berkeley Medical Offices at 2621 Tenth Street in West Berkeley opened in May 2021. Practices that depend on Alta Bates for admissions should weigh the planned move to Emeryville when signing leases that run past 2032.

View All FAQs? Is Alta Bates hospital in Berkeley closing?
Not yet. Sutter Health says the Alta Bates Campus at 2450 Ashby Avenue will remain an acute-care hospital until its new medical center opens about 2.5 miles away in Emeryville, at Horton and 53rd streets, targeted for 2032 to 2033. After that, Sutter plans to convert the Ashby campus to an ambulatory surgery center and urgent care, possibly with skilled nursing. Sutter's Herrick Campus on Dwight Way is slated to expand behavioral health services. Outpatient care at the Emeryville campus is expected as early as 2028.
? Where are medical offices concentrated in Berkeley?
The main cluster surrounds Sutter's Alta Bates Campus on Ashby Avenue, extending to Telegraph Avenue and Webster Street, where 3021 Telegraph is a small multi-tenant medical and wellness building one block from the hospital. Nearby, Sutter's Adeline Care Center sits at 3075 Adeline Street, directly above Ashby BART. Sutter's Herrick Campus anchors Dwight Way, and Kaiser Permanente's Berkeley Medical Offices at 2621 Tenth Street serve West Berkeley.
? Does Kaiser Permanente have a facility in Berkeley?
Yes. Kaiser Permanente opened its Berkeley Medical Offices at 2621 Tenth Street, at Parker Street in West Berkeley, on May 5, 2021. The 62,000-square-foot building has 72 exam rooms and offers adult and family medicine, pediatrics, OB-GYN, mental health, x-ray and mammography, lab and pharmacy. Kaiser's Berkeley offices are on the city's west side, apart from the Alta Bates cluster on Ashby Avenue, and serve Berkeley's Kaiser members locally.
? Should I lease space near a hospital?
Hospital proximity offers advantages including referral relationships, shared patient populations, and perceived prestige. However, hospital-adjacent properties often command premium rents. Consider whether your specialty benefits from hospital proximity (surgeons, specialists) or whether a community location might better serve your patient base (primary care, pediatrics, dentistry).
? What factors should medical practices consider when choosing a location?
Key site selection factors include: proximity to referral sources and hospitals; patient demographics and population density; visibility and accessibility (parking ratios, ADA compliance); competitor proximity; zoning and permitted uses; co-tenancy with complementary healthcare providers; and ease of access for patients including public transit options in urban markets.
? What factors influence medical office rents in California?
Medical office rents vary with location (proximity to hospitals and medical corridors), building quality and age, the condition of the space (second-generation medical space with existing exam rooms and plumbing typically leases for more than shell space), lease structure (NNN versus full-service gross), the tenant improvement allowance offered, parking availability, and local supply. Rents also tend to be higher in supply-constrained markets such as Palo Alto and San Francisco than in suburban markets.
