Los Angeles County officials released a master plan<\/a> Friday outlining a long-term effort to transform the historic General Hospital campus<\/a> in Boyle Heights into a mixed-use \u201cHealthy Village\u201d centered on housing, wellness services, economic development and public space.<\/p>\n

The plan envisions redeveloping the 30.8-acre campus surrounding the landmark General Hospital building, a 19-story Art Deco structure that opened in 1934 and largely has remained vacant since medical operations moved to the new L.A. General Medical Center in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor decades, General Hospital represented hope and dignity for families across Los Angeles County, especially communities that too often faced barriers to quality care and opportunity,\u201d Los Angeles County Board Chair Hilda Solis said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we move forward, we have an opportunity to breathe new life into this landmark by creating a community-centered campus that expands access to housing, wellness, economic opportunity, and open space while honoring the legacy of a place that has cared for generations of Angelenos,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

County officials said the project would include affordable and workforce housing, community-serving retail, open space, workforce development opportunities and adaptive reuse of the historic hospital building.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) released the plan following years of community outreach that included town halls, workshops and advisory committee meetings involving local residents and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The county selected Centennial Partners, a joint venture between Primestor Development and Bayspring Real Estate Partners, to help advance the project through a public-private partnership approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe release of this Master Plan reflects years of partnership, technical study, and deep community engagement,\u201d DEO Director Kelly LoBianco said. \u201cThis is about more than redevelopment; it is about honoring history, preserving a landmark public institution, and creating long-term pathways to health, housing, economic mobility, and opportunity with surrounding communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials said redevelopment would occur in phases while maintaining operations at L.A. General Medical Center and other county facilities on the campus.<\/p>\n

The county is also continuing work on a $120 million campus stabilization project focused on seismic upgrades, infrastructure improvements and preservation work needed to prepare the historic building for redevelopment.<\/p>\n
