Healthcare real estate developer PMB has announced the steel-topping out milestone in the construction of El Camino Health’s inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Sunnyvale, California, US.

The announcement was made along with Lifepoint Rehabilitation.

The milestone highlights a plan to expand access to specialised rehabilitation care in a patient-centred setting.

The 64,000ft², 52-bed HCAI 1 facility is designed to provide a therapeutic setting for comprehensive rehabilitation, integrating research and recent technology to support outcomes and recovery as part of El Camino Health’s growth in the Bay Area.

It prioritises patient needs with private rooms and purpose-built clinical spaces to enhance care delivery.

PMB development SVP Nolan Weinberg said: “This project reflects the kind of work we’re passionate about, creating spaces that provide access to high-quality rehabilitation care.”

The hospital is scheduled to begin accepting patients in early 2027, offering 52 all-private rooms with full bathrooms, including speciality care patient rooms.

It will also offer intensive inpatient care for adults recovering from traumatic brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, and other severe conditions.

Services will include occupational and physical therapies, speech pathology, and specialised programmes for spinal cord injury, neurological, brain injury, stroke, and amputation rehabilitation.

A secured brain injury unit will feature a dedicated therapy gym and private dining.

Patients will have access to large interdisciplinary gyms and a therapeutic courtyard with gardens, golf elements and varied surfaces to support mobility training.

A transitional living apartment will simulate a home environment to practise daily tasks before discharge.

El Camino Health will support services and provide ancillary, including radiology, laboratory, employee health, medical staff credentialing, security, managed care contracting and biomedical engineering.
