Abstract

This report examines the Presidio Public Health Service Hospital rehabilitation, renovation, and transformation project in the state of California. Presidio Public Health Service Hospital is an old military hospital facility that was abandoned in 1981 after half a decade of operation and servicing during World War II as a key military hospital. This report focuses on the main aims of the rehabilitation and renovation project of the presidio facility, the financial incentives involved in the project, and any other financial aspects of the project. Lastly, the report has analyzed the outcomes of the project in three key major areas. These are preservation outcomes, the role that the rehabilitation and renovation project has played on real estate, and also the community outcomes of the project.
