Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch Medical Office Building
Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch Medical Office Building | Chula Vista, CA
A DPR-led design-build team is delivering a new 60,000 sq.ft., two-story medical office building addition adjacent to the existing medical office building, connected by new interior corridors. The lower level of the addition will be home to a new urgent care, advanced radiology services, and expanded lab services. The second level will house specialty clinics including oncology; dermatology; ear, nose, and throat; histology; audiology; and physical therapy for adults and children.
The project also includes a new car parking garage with a total of 610 parking spaces. The parking structure will have 12% of its space designed with infrastructure for future EV charging.
“We’re very excited to provide new and expanded services to meet the needs of the growing community. This expansion will provide more space and advanced facilities to ensure we can continue to provide the high-quality, coordinated care our patients expect and deserve.”

Challenges and
Solutions
Preventing Impacts to an Active Campus
The site is surrounded by an assisted-living facility, an existing Sharp medical office building (fully open throughout construction), a daycare, residential development, and foot traffic to and from Chula Vista High School. A higher degree of care is needed for patients, Sharp staff, and the general public.
In weekly meetings with Sharp, our team is communicating major construction activities and receiving direct feedback on any impacts posed to operations. By maintaining this dialogue, DPR is avoiding disruptions to day-to-day activities on campus and in the surrounding community.
Green Features, Lower Lifecycle Costs
During design, DPR completed an in-house operational energy analysis, providing Sharp recommendations on increasing the efficiency of their building. The design-build team was committed to prioritizing long-term sustainability strategies, ensuring sustainability was embedded in the team mindset and culture.
Finishing in 2025, the MOB is set to achieve high performance (66 kBtu/ft2 annually) and use 20% less energy than the California baseline, without LEED certification. In addition to a 250kV solar PV system, energy-efficient upgrades will save $30,000+ a year in utilities, paying for themselves in less than 4 years.
