CUPERTINO — El Camino Hospital bought an office building from a farming company in a deal that gives the health care services provider a foothold along a busy street in Cupertino.

Yuki Farms sold the building at 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. to El Camino Hospital for $10.4 million, according to documents filed on June 2 with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office.

The two-story building totals about 20,100 square feet, according to commercial database service LoopNet.

“El Camino Health’s recent acquisition of the office building at 19400 Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino underscores our commitment to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the community by bringing several physician practices together in one location,” El Camino Hospital spokesperson Ross Coyle stated in an email sent to this news organization.

The Cupertino building is on a stretch of Stevens Creek Boulevard that’s dotted with shops and restaurants. A few blocks to the east, Apple occupies several office buildings, including two in Cupertino and one in Santa Clara.

Apple’s spaceship headquarters campus in Cupertino is less than two miles away.

“This purchase aligns with our strategy to proactively address the growing demand for convenient, coordinated care in the region,” Coyle said.

In recent years, El Camino Hospital launched a wide-ranging upgrade of its women’s health and maternity facilities at its medical campus in Mountain View.

In 2016, the organization paid $23.4 million for 15.8 empty acres near the corner of Santa Teresa Boulevard and San Ygnacio Avenue. The site remains undeveloped.

In 2014, El Camino Hospital bought medical office buildings near its Los Gatos health services campus.

“As part of our mission, we remain dedicated to exploring opportunities that improve access and strengthen our presence,” Coyle said.
