Sutter Health is adding its name to a roster of companies betting on the ongoing redevelopment of Sacramento's central business district.
The firm, one of California's largest not‑for‑profit healthcare systems, took over a 120,000-square-foot facility to become an essential medical service provider and major employer for the local community. The site was "a previously sub-prime asset," according to Scott Ford, economic development director of the Downtown Sacramento Partnership. Investors including Newport Beach-based RevOz Capital redeveloped the site through the Opportunity Fund program along with other parcels in the downtown district that includes the Golden 1 Center — home of the Sacramento Kings — and the bustling Downtown Commons retail district.
The lease itself wasn't straightforward. The 15-year deal took Cushman & Wakefield 18 months of negotiations, addressing challenges like parking, security and restructuring deals with current tenants so Sutter Health could take over the ground floor.
In recognition, the deal earned a 2026 CoStar Impact Award for lease of the year for Sacramento, as judged by real estate professionals familiar with the market.
About the project: Sutter Health will occupy the entirety of 660 J St. – or SixSixty at DOCO – through a 15-year initial term. The Renovations on the project wrapped up in 2023.
What the judges said: "This lease was a significant turning point for Downtown's revitalization and, given the constraints of the building, a nice achievement as well for a health care use with a marquee tenant," said Troels Adrian, executive vice president at the Greater Sacramento Economic Council.
Nathaniel Wright, senior project manager at FPI Management, noted the deal "transforms a major downtown asset into a long‑term healthcare anchor, delivering sustained activation, employment, and stability within Sacramento's urban core."
They made it happen: Cushman & Wakefield Executive Director Bruce Hohenhaus; Senior Director Kevin Goldthwaite; Executive Managing Director Ron Thomas; and Property Manager Brenda Avila‑Marin; and Jason Little with Sutter Health.
