The presence of the nonprofit Bay Area Health Trust on the west Mountain will disappear at the end of May when a deal to sell nearly 7.3 hectares (18 acres) of former Chedoke Hospital land to a couple of local home builders closes. Starward Homes and Marz Homes have formed a partnership to purchase the bulk of the nearly 10.5 hectares (26 acres) of the Sanatorium Road site that was put up for sale more than a year ago.
The Thrive Group, which owns the St. Peter’s Residence at Chedoke nursing home, and Dr. Allen Greenspoon, who owns the Osler building on the site, have purchased the remainder of the land with the exception of the 0.5 hectare (1.3 acre) Wellwood property which will be retained by the BAHT.
