Expansion Includes Addition of Cardiology, Orthopedics, Other Medical Specialties
Healthcare provider Kaiser Permanente plans to spend $50 million to renovate a medical facility in Atlanta.
Kaiser is looking to upgrade its Cumberland Medical Center property at 2525 Cumberland Parkway SE. The ren
ovations will not add space to the 90,493-square-foot property. Construction is expected to be completed by April 2026.
Cumberland Medical Center opened in 1991 and is one of Kaiser’s oldest operating facilities in Georgia, according to a spokesperson. The medical center serves about 15,000 members of the Kaiser network.
Kaiser, the largest managed healthcare organization in the United States, has made changes to its real estate footprint in recent months. Last year it acquired a former federal office building in Washington, D.C., for $198 million. Kaiser already occupied about half of the building at 700 Second St. NE and will almost double its space there by taking over offices vacated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Also last year, Kaiser announced it would move about 1,200 office jobs in downtown Oakland, California, to a new office campus in Pleasanton, California. The move reflected Kaiser’s emphasis on a hybrid work model and its reduced need for “physical administrative space,” according to the company.
Kaiser recently canceled a plan to develop a $500 million medical facility at 755 Alder St. in Seattle, according to Becker’s Hospital Review. Kaiser had acquired the property in 2021 from the Seattle Housing Authority for $36.3 million, according to CoStar data.
In the Atlanta expansion project, Kaiser plans to add cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, ophthalmology and optometry services. The company will also improve and renovate space used by other medical practices, imaging facilities, pharmacies and labs, it said.
Kaiser’s other Atlanta-area locations include Gwinnett Comprehensive Medical Center in Duluth and Crescent Medical Center in Tucker.
