Once completed, the project will create 600 hospital beds through $1.2 billion worth of construction, 1.3 million square feet of medical office space and 900,000 square feet of research and development space. The entire project is expected to be completed in phases over the next decade. Several buildings in the development are in the design phase, and the first building is expected to break ground in 2024. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the project was held last year. The developer was awarded the project by North Las Vegas early last year. The project, located south of the Las Vegas Beltway on North Pecos Road, is being spearheaded by national master plan developer Pacific Group, which is headquartered in Salt Lake City. It couldn’t happen soon enough as North Las Vegas is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, according to 2022 census data.Ĭonstruction on roadways and infrastructure for Helios Health and Wellness Campus, a planned 135-acre medical campus for medical innovation that will incorporate a hospital, restaurants, retail and hotels is expected to start late this year, said Tad Schrantz, executive vice president for real estate development for Pacific Group. Officials have high hopes that a major health care campus in the works for North Las Vegas could fill the gap. The municipality only has one full-service hospital - North Vista - for its 280,543 residents, which comes out to approximately one hospital bed per 1,432 residents, compared with Clark County, which has one bed for every 414 people.Īn estimated 75 percent of medical trauma cases go outside of North Las Vegas for treatment.

The best step forward is for the entire medical sector in Southern Nevada to get on the same page when it comes to health care delivery, he said. The good news is there’s nowhere to go up but, said Diego Trujillo, chief executive officer of Las Vegas Heals - the largest nonprofit, membership-based association for health care professionals in the state. Nevada regularly ranks in the bottom 10 when it comes to health care rankings by state, but developers and officials are hoping a new project in the city of North Las Vegas could help alleviate some of this pain in the valley.
