A multi-billion dollar, master-planned medical campus transforming a historic Air Force base into one of the most advanced healthcare communities in the United States.
MarchLife is designed to be one of the most forward-thinking healthcare communities in Southern California — a place for leading-edge medical research and treatment that brings world-class care closer to home for millions of residents.
The campus will serve as a regional center for medical research and treatment in Southern California. The 3.5 million-square-foot, 236-acre project — the largest private redevelopment in Riverside County history — includes hospital towers, medical office buildings, retail, skilled nursing facilities, a continuing care retirement community, wellness centers, healing gardens, and ambulatory care facilities. MarchLife is fully entitled and shovel ready, with all contemplated developments compliant with existing zoning and density.
March Air Force Base was realigned under BRAC in 1996. Of the original 6,700 acres, surplus land was made available for transformative development. MarchLife will serve a peak campus population of up to 18,000 workers and residents — generating 16,000 permanent jobs, 20,000 construction jobs, and a projected tax base of $3.5 billion.
Three patient bed towers constructed in multiple phases, serving local, regional, and national communities.
Leading-edge medical office buildings and ambulatory care facilities supporting a broad spectrum of specialties.
Healing gardens, spiritual healing facilities, and dedicated wellness spaces promoting holistic recovery.
Skilled nursing, independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer's, and hospice care in a continuing community.
Dedicated to serving 10,000+ active and retired military veterans in the area with specialized care and rehabilitation.
Cancer Center of Excellence, Women's Center of Excellence, partnerships with academic research centers, plus integrated retail.
As the cornerstone of the MarchLife Campus, the Inpatient Hospital will serve the ever-growing needs of local, regional, and national communities. Anchored by Riverside Medical Clinic and Universal Health Services — a $12 billion-per-year national hospital operator — the hospital will comprise 500 beds across three patient towers, supported by acute care, behavioral health, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
The facility addresses a critical gap — nearly 56% of inpatients currently leave the service area for healthcare. The service areas within a five-, ten-, and fifteen-mile radius all include federally designated Medically Underserved Areas. With no other acute care hospitals under construction or entitled in the area, MarchLife will transform access to care for millions.
Transformative design for the healthcare sector — connecting sustainability to health, pollution prevention, and visionary thinking.
Modern healthcare facilities are large consumers of resources and provide an opportunity to reduce consumption while advancing social and economic goals.
Design as a tool that drives healthcare outcomes — improving quality and safety, reducing staff turnover, shortening length of stay, and elevating patient satisfaction.
Smart development that benefits the community, economy, and environment — high performance healing environments that ultimately reduce the demand for health services.
From gubernatorial support to national press coverage — MarchLife has garnered recognition at every level for its groundbreaking vision.
It is a city, it is the first health and wellness city in the world. So I'm very excited about this because the world will be watching us to see the future in action.
