On Jan. 20, University Health entered into a $50 million agreement to purchase two medical towers, known as Northwest Medical Tower I and Tower II.

The details: This purchase was made in light of the recent purchase of the Babcock Specialty Hospital, which was formerly the Christus Santa Rosa Medical Center Campus, on July 29, 2025, according to a news release. Adjacent to the hospital and connected to its second floor via a skybridge, the towers will offer the new hospital an ideal location for additional clinics and providers, the news release states.

The background: According to the news release, the seven-story, 123,055-square-foot Northwest Tower I was built in 1986, while the four-story, 77,778-square-foot Northwest Tower II was built in 1986. Totaling a combined 200,833 square feet, the towers received a $5.2 million renovation, including upgrades to the common areas, elevators and HVAC.

Currently, rent-paying tenants occupy roughly 179,000 square feet between both towers, with Christus Santa Rosa Healthcare leasing around 46,000 square feet.
