CASTRO VALLEY, CA—With 10 years and some creative thinking, a once-abandoned development proposal gets new life. Medical office developer, Meridian, recently completed ground-up construction of a 10,000-square-foot single-tenant medical office building located at 20359 Lake Chabot Rd.
The building is situated on the main arterial road leading to Sutter Health's Eden Medical Center campus, one block from the hospital, in the Valley's medical corridor. Castro Valley is an unincorporated area within Alameda County.
“The irony of this location in Castro Valley is that we had the site in escrow just before the Great Recession in 2007/08,” John Pollock, Meridian CEO, tells GlobeSt.com. “As the market unraveled, we were unable to move forward with the development at that time. I knew it was a great location and I was very happy that we could come back to it and solve a need for a client.”
