More than 100 apartments for older adults and a medical facility could be coming to Sunnyvale within the next few years.
The Sunnyvale Planning Commission unanimously approved plans for a six-story senior living site and 72,000-square-foot convalescent hospital at 1027-1035 West El Camino Real during its Monday meeting. It will have 36 assisted-living homes and 113 independent-living homes, with 17 set aside for low and very low income residents.
Health care real estate developer PMB is working on the project and hopes to start construction in November, with the goal of opening by the end of 2026. The project doesn’t need to go before the Sunnyvale City Council after receiving the planning commission’s approval, unless it’s appealed within 15 days.
Commissioners are enthusiastic about the project’s amenities, especially the neighboring 52-bed convalescent hospital. Commissioner Neela Shukla said it’s the “gold standard” and will greatly benefit Sunnyvale’s older adult community.
“It’s a beautiful addition to the community,” Commission Chair Nathan Igelsias said at the meeting. “It’s going to help enrich the community and offer opportunities for Sunnyvale residents to age in place, which is certainly a community benefit.”
