The Campus

A vision for health, livability and community.

State of the Current Campus

To address escalating maintenance costs as well as seismic and structural issues common with buildings built in the 1950s and ’60s, the BCHD board and the project’s Community Working Group directed staff to take a broader look at the campus and prioritize safety. This occurred after seismic experts provided analysis and preliminary costs that concluded no legal obligation exists to address a building’s structural integrity, but some issues should be addressed.

Positive Steps Forward

At their May 2026 meeting, the BCHD Board of Directors approved a motion authorizing CEO Tom Bakaly to execute an Agreement to Enter into a Ground Lease with Sunrise Senior Living, which has been selected to redevelop the old hospital site and operate the Residential Care Facility for the Elderly they will build.

In April 2025, we shared updates on the Healthy Living Campus master plan, including progress on several key components.

A new space has been secured in the 510 N. Prospect Building for the Center for Health & Fitness, and building renovation has begun, with an anticipated opening in 2027. The 510 Building will also be home to a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provider. These steps reflect our ongoing commitment to expanding health and wellness services for the community, while also allowing us to retain the 510 N. Prospect Avenue building for the long term and preserve the adjacent green space along Diamond Street—addressing a key concern raised by neighboring residents.

New Opportunities

As we continue to move forward with the Healthy Living Campus, we’re pleased to share the next steps in revitalizing our campus, including plans to vacate the 514 Building in 2027 to make way for a redevelopment of the campus.

BCHD is working on an agreement to enter into a Ground Lease with Sunrise Senior Living to advance plans for redeveloping the former South Bay Hospital site in Redondo Beach. Sunrise’s proposal centers on residential care facilities for the elderly, offering memory care, assisted living, and independent living, along with a range of community‑focused amenities, including publicly accessible green space, a walking loop, wellness programming, a multipurpose community room, and more. Final project details will be determined as BCHD and Sunrise work toward finalizing the ground lease.

Following months of review by the Advisory Working Group and BCHD staff, the Sunrise proposal was deemed to be the most mission‑aligned, offering a project that addresses the seismic needs while strengthening long‑term support for BCHD’s community health programs.
