This billion-dollar-plus hospital project will produce a massive 274 bed hospital on the site of the former Cathedral Hill Hotel, as well as medical office buildings across the street and a tunnel under Van Ness connecting the campus. Currently the massive demolition of the old building is taking place, after which hospital construction will kick off later this year.
