What the Sale of the Dublin Gateway Medical Center Means to You
The Dublin Gateway Medical Center was just purchased by the Eden Township Health District. What does this mean for Dublin residents? As many residents may have noticed, the Dublin Gateway Medical Center is 50% occupied at this point with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. The previous owner most likely had difficulty landing a tenant for the other half of the building because of the pending sale, which would have had to been disclosed as part of any contractual agreement. This sale and the Dublin City Council’s approval to provide an option to build a hospital, in addition to a parking garage, at the Dublin Gateway Medical Center most likely means the following for Dublin residents:
- The Palo Alto Medical Foundation will have a neighbor soon.
- East Dublin will have a hospital to compete with Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton and San Ramon Regional Medical Center in San Ramon within the next year or two. Not surprisingly, the CEO for the San Ramon Regional Medical Center was the most outspoken critic of the proposed hospital during the 5/15/07 Dublin City Council meeting.
- A parking garage will be built in tandem with the new hospital.
The sale of the Dublin Gateway Medical Center could very well be the catalyst to spark commercial and retail development in East Dublin.

It’s awesome that someone (you!) is blogging about Dublin. I certainly get a lot of good info from it. Thanks for doing this. And keep it up!
BTW, what’s the latest with the Promenade at Dublin Ranch? Will it ever be built? Do you know?

Forget about my question. I just read your older post about the Promenade.

Is there any news regarding the building of a hospital in Dublin?

Hi Anonymous – I haven’t heard of any future plans to build the hospital. I believe that development was put on hold for the time being until the credit markets thaw out.
Thx, John Z.
