By the Numbers: All About Oakland’s New Kamin Tower
It won’t be long until a new tower joins Oakland’s distinctive skyline. UPMC Presbyterian Kamin Tower broke ground in 2022, adjacent to the nearly-100-year-old Presbyterian hospital.

Kamin and the Kamin Family Foundation in 2025, which has advanced the project further; now, ribbon-cutting for the new building is expected to take place on Jan. 20, 2027 with patients slated to move in on Jan. 24, 2027.

DoorDash driver missing for 2 weeks after final delivery, foul play not ruled out
