Sutter Health recently finalized the lease of a 64,222-square-feet building at 4480 Willow Rd., Pleasanton, as well as the lease of approximately 23,000 square feet of space at 5075 Hopyard Rd., a half-mile away. It intends to offer a range of services in the newly leased spaces and anticipates opening 5075 Hopyard Rd. in spring 2026 and 4480 Willow Rd. in spring 2027. A full renovation of the leased spaces will begin next year.
“We are excited to grow our existing presence in the Tri-Valley area to create even more health care access in the community,” said Kevin Cook, president of Sutter Health’s Greater Silicon Valley area. “Expanding our reach in this area is part of our commitment to significantly grow our care system to address the health care needs patients face across Silicon Valley. We look forward to sharing further details as our plans progress.”
The Pleasanton leases are part of Sutter’s broader plan to add more than 25 new ambulatory care centers across its system in the next few years, underscoring its longstanding commitment to providing accessible, high-quality healthcare services across the region. They will also bring doctors from the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group to the city.
“We are excited about the opportunity to enhance healthcare access for residents of Pleasanton and the surrounding communities,” said Dr. Kurt VandeVort, CEO of the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group, a medical group of almost 2,000 physicians and advanced practice clinicians caring for patients. “While we are new to the City of Pleasanton, we aren’t new to the area. We hope to build on our established reputations in Dublin, Fremont and Danville as we extend outpatient care services in this community.”
Both locations will grow Sutter Health’s presence along the I-580 corridor in the East Bay. Nearby Sutter Health locations including Danville Center, Dublin Center and Fremont Center, as well as Sutter’s Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley.
