Sutter Health has finalized the acquisition of a approximately $21.7 million parcel in Folsom, California, intended for its long-anticipated outpatient Folsom Care Complex. This acquisition represents a significant step forward for the project, which is estimated to cost around $145 million and will feature a state-of-the-art cancer center, same-day surgery facilities, and expanded urgent care services. Construction activity has already commenced at the site, with Sutter projecting that the complex will start serving patients by the fall of 2027.
The land transaction was recorded in city documents in late January 2024, when a newly issued building permit identified Sutter Health as the property owner of the Broadstone site. According to the Sacramento Business Journal, this filing confirms the health system’s successful purchase of the land, marking a formal update in the city’s property records. The parcel located at 1565 Cavitt Drive changed hands late last year for approximately $21.742 million, as indicated by real estate listings and tax records compiled by platforms such as Redfin.
Details of the Folsom Care Complex
Sutter Health describes the Folsom Care Complex as a three-story, 106,500-square-foot outpatient facility. It will house a full-service Advanced Cancer Center offering infusion and radiation therapy, a same-day outpatient surgery center, and expanded primary and urgent care services. The health system anticipates that the new campus will attract more specialists to the Highway 50 corridor, enhancing healthcare access for local residents.
The site is part of the Broadstone Crossing Phase II development plan, designated for office and medical use along Cavitt Drive. Planning documents outline a multi-lot map subdividing the property into three buildings, with the medical facility expected to be the largest structure per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines.
Community Impact and Infrastructure Developments
In response to the anticipated increase in traffic, developer Elliott Homes has pledged to fund roadway and pedestrian improvements associated with the project. This includes an upfront deposit aimed at expediting the design process for an East Bidwell pedestrian bridge, which the city has prioritized to manage increased congestion in the Palladio area as the medical campus begins operations.
Recent building permit filings indicate that contractors are actively progressing with steelwork and site preparations. The Sacramento Business Journal confirms that Sutter Health holds the title to the land, with foundational work and early framing already underway. The project is expected to transition into shell construction in the coming months, paving the way for future medical tenant build-outs.
Once completed, the Folsom Care Complex will provide numerous specialists and on-site services, reducing the need for local patients to travel to Sacramento or Roseville for care. Residents and commuters are advised to remain vigilant regarding construction traffic and roadwork near East Bidwell, as Sutter Health aims for the facility to welcome its first patients in the fall of 2027.
