PMB Tops Out $580M Inland Empire Campus
A public-private partnership is building a behavioral health facility.
Riverside University Health System and health-care real estate developer PMB have topped off their $580 million, 450,000-square-foot project in Mead Valley, Calif., that will integrate behavioral health treatment with medical care and social services. The public-private partnership broke ground on The Wellness Village in the Inland Empire region in June 2024, with construction work slated for completion next year and official opening scheduled for early 2027.
The 18-acre campus will be located at the intersection of Harvill and Placentia avenues, and is set to feature the county’s first mental health urgent care and crisis residential program for children under 13, addressing a critical gap in health-care service. The facility is also aiming to provide a range of services focused on every level of recovery, including urgent behavioral health treatment, supportive housing and outpatient care. Additionally, the campus will also feature primary and specialty medical care, dental services, substance abuse disorder treatment and a pharmacy that will be open to the public.

More MOBs underway
The Wellness Village is not the only health-care facility that PMB is working on in California. Just last month, the developer and Sharp Rees-Stealy topped out the 75,000-square-foot medical outpatient building at 480 H St. in Chula Vista, Calif., a San Diego submarket. Completion is expected later this year. The three-story facility is set to provide advanced health care, including primary and specialty care, urgent care, physical therapy, radiology, cardiology, neurology and laboratory services. The building will also feature ground-floor retail space, including a pharmacy and a café.
In Arizona, PMB is working alongside Abrazo Health on the Abrazo Health Litchfield Medical Building, a 46,000-square-foot facility in Goodyear. The two-story project is also expected to come online this year. It is the city’s first combination of medical offices and inpatient rehabilitation programs. Abrazo Health committed to 27,000 square feet at the building, while MedCure will occupy 5,000 square feet.
