Sutter Health has finalized the acquisition of a parcel of land in Folsom for approximately $21.7 million. This site will be the future location of the Folsom Care Complex, a comprehensive outpatient center that represents a significant step towards enhancing local healthcare services. The development, which is projected to cost $145 million, is expected to serve patients starting in fall 2027.
The planned Folsom Care Complex will span 106,500 square feet and feature a full-service Advanced Cancer Center, a same-day outpatient surgery center, and expanded urgent care services. The facility aims to attract more specialists to the Highway 50 corridor, ultimately improving access to healthcare for the community. Early construction activities are already visible at the site, indicating progress toward the ambitious timeline.
Details of the Land Acquisition
The land purchase was officially recorded in city documents in late January, when a newly filed building permit confirmed Sutter Health as the owner of the Broadstone site. According to the Sacramento Business Journal, the final transaction took place late last year, with the property changing hands for approximately $21.742 million. This acquisition marks a formal update in the city’s property records, confirming Sutter’s commitment to the project.
The site, located at 1565 Cavitt Drive, is part of the Broadstone Crossing Phase II development plan. City planning documents designate this area for office and medical use, supporting the establishment of the new campus.
Community Impact and Infrastructure Improvements
To address potential increases in traffic, developer Elliott Homes has committed to funding essential roadway and pedestrian upgrades associated with the project. This includes an upfront deposit aimed at expediting the design work for a pedestrian bridge on East Bidwell. Local reports indicate that these improvements are intended to mitigate congestion in the Palladio area as the medical campus begins operations.
Current building-permit activity suggests that contractors are making significant progress, with foundational work and early framing already underway. The recent permit confirms that Sutter Health now holds title to the land, and construction is set to advance into the shell phase in the coming months. This phase will prepare the site for medical tenant build-outs, ultimately leading to the opening of the outpatient center.
Once operational, Sutter Health anticipates that the Folsom Care Complex will provide essential medical services closer to home for residents, reducing their need for travel to facilities in Sacramento or Roseville. As construction continues, local residents and commuters are expected to monitor developments closely, particularly regarding traffic patterns and infrastructure changes as the fall 2027 opening approaches.
