A new medical office project is on deck for the northeast corner of Wellness Way and Shadow Lane in the Las Vegas Medical District, city officials say. The proposal would bring roughly 85,000 square feet of Class A medical space, street-level retail, and a multi-level parking garage to a site surrounded by UNLV facilities and several major hospitals. City messaging casts the development as a major neighborhood investment designed to boost clinical capacity and give nearby businesses more daytime foot traffic. If approved, it would mark the first new Class A medical office building in the district in many years.
Project Details
Developer Parting Seas Investments is listed as the applicant and is floating a "DWELLNESS" concept for the corner. The company’s project page describes a mixed-use setup meant to serve medical workers, patients, and nearby businesses sharing the same few blocks.
City Numbers And Timeline
According to planning documents from the City of Las Vegas, the site-development request (25-0494-SDR1) calls for a four-story, roughly 87,600-square-foot medical office and commercial building plus a five-story parking garage on about 1.55 acres. City staff have recommended approval.
Separately, the City of Las Vegas has outlined slightly different figures in a post on X, saying the project would include an 84,900-square-foot medical office component, a parking garage with up to 385 spaces, ground-floor retail, job creation, and a roughly $100 million investment. That breakdown is available on X.
Why This Corner Matters
The site sits next to UNLV's School of Medicine and a tight cluster of hospitals and specialty clinics that have been driving recent growth in the medical district. The city has layered on streetscape upgrades and public art in the area, including the eye-catching Star Child statue, as part of a broader push to visually tie the campus together.
At the same time, major transit work along Maryland Parkway has turned planners’ attention to how people actually reach the district, according to the Review-Journal.
What's Next
The Planning Commission is set to take up the application on March 10. If commissioners follow staff’s recommendation, the project would move into the entitlement and permitting steps laid out by the City of Las Vegas.
City posts say the development is expected to expand access to healthcare services, support neighboring businesses, and generate both construction and clinic-support jobs, according to the city’s announcement on X.
