Kaiser Permanente’s Railyards Medical Center in Sacramento reached a construction milestone, promising a 2029 opening to bolster healthcare and economic growth <\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 The new Kaiser Permanente Railyards Medical Center in Sacramento reached a major construction milestone Wednesday as crews placed the final beam on the highest point of the eight-story facility.<\/p>\n

The project broke ground in March 2025. 18 months later, construction continues on the medical center, which is expected to open in 2029.<\/p>\n

Once complete, the facility will serve hundreds of thousands of patients and is also expected to serve as a major anchor for the broader Railyards redevelopment project.<\/p>\n

The Railyards Medical Center sits near other major projects, including the new Sacramento Republic FC soccer stadium and a new live music venue.<\/p>\n

Kaiser Permanente says the new facility will bring hospital care, emergency services, maternity services, and additional specialty care to downtown Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Kaiser\u2019s existing hospital, about six miles away on Morse Avenue, will remain open until the new Railyards facility opens and replaces it in 2029.<\/p>\n

Jay Robinson, senior vice president for Kaiser Permanente Sacramento and South Sacramento, said the project represents more than just an expansion of health care services.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it means a lot for the city of Sacramento. I keep saying that we’re in a renaissance period for Sacramento redefining itself, and a part of that is having projects like this come to downtown. As you know, hospitals are economic engines. They bring a lot of jobs. There’s a lot of economic activity associated with it,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n

Several city and local leaders also attended Wednesday\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\n

Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty was one of them and highlighted that Kaiser Permanente is the largest private employer in the city of Sacramento.<\/p>\n

While Wednesday marked a major construction milestone, significant work remains before the facility opens.<\/p>\n

Kaiser says it expects to begin work on the third building at the Railyards campus as early as next month.<\/p>\n

The full medical center is expected to open in 2029, just after the projected 2028 openings of the new Sacramento Republic FC soccer stadium and live music venue.<\/p>\n
