    Construction of New Hospital at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center Reaches Milestone

    CHULA VISTA, Calif. – Time-lapse video captured nearly 500 cement trucks as they filed onto California’s Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center campus overnight on Saturday, July 29, to pour the base of Sharp HealthCare’s newest hospital, set to open in fall of 2019.

    Beginning Friday night, 4,700 yards of concrete covering 25,000 square feet had been poured by the end of the 12-hour project that finished on Saturday afternoon. More than 125 construction workers, in addition to the hundreds of ready mix concrete truck drivers, were onsite throughout the night; more than 90 percent of labor for the project is local (San Diego County).

    The concrete pour marks the most recent milestone – and almost halfway point – for the South Bay’s first new hospital in more than 40 years (the last new hospital was the existing hospital at Sharp Chula Vista, which opened in 1975). Sharp Chula Vista broke ground on the $244-million hospital in November 2016; once open, it will add 138 large, private patient rooms; six operating rooms; a rooftop café and more to meet the needs of San Diego’s South County region – one of the fastest growing in the nation.

    On the Design-Build team are general contractor Hensel Phelps, architecture firm SmithGroupJJR and AVRP Studios, an architectural, planning and interior-design firm.
