Sutter Health Hospital Project
The proposed Sutter Health regional medical complex in Emeryville is slated for construction from 2028 to 2033 at the 12-acre site between Horton St., Hollis St., Stanford Ave., and 53rd St. The project includes a 17-story hospital with a helipad, several medical and administrative buildings, workforce housing, and a garage within the project’s Horton St., Hollis St., Stanford Ave., and 53rd St. boundaries.
The project will also add an estimated 20,000 vehicle trips per day to the area.
How will this affect Golden Gate?
Sutter’s plan relies on Golden Gate’s arterials—53rd Street, Stanford and San Pablo Avenues—for access to the complex by emergency vehicles, patients, and staff. Key public concerns center on the potential environmental impacts associated with the increased traffic and five+ years of heavy construction, including hazardous road conditions, noise from ambulance traffic and helicopters, and air pollution.

Join GGCA for a lively discussion with City of Oakland representatives on how the City intends to address the environmental impacts on our neighborhood from the Sutter Health project. Speakers include:
- District 1 Councilperson Zac Unger
- William Gilchrist, Director of Planning & Building, the department responsible for providing the City’s official input to project’s Environment Impact Report (EIR) process now underway.
The biggest concern is Sutter’s projected addition of 20,000 car trips a day to this area that will rely heavily on Stanford and San Pablo Avenue corridors as well as 53rd Street, which provides a straight shot to Sutter from Adeline St.
Impacts include:
- 24×7 noise due to ambulance traffic and helicopters
- Dangerous traffic conditions for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists
- Pollution & hazardous materials from 5+ years of heavy construction
