Sirens are getting a new home in West Henderson, as Community Ambulance has officially broken ground on a two-story headquarters campus that leaders say will pull training, vehicle maintenance and dispatch into one central hub. The project is being framed as a response to rising 911 call volumes and the company’s fast climb over the past decade, with executives pitching it as a long-term bet on local emergency medical capacity and workforce development.
The campus is slated to feature a large apparatus bay for servicing ambulances, classrooms for continuing education, executive offices and parking for more than 250 vehicles. The building footprint has been reported at roughly 42,000 square feet. Company officials say Community Ambulance has grown from three ambulances in 2010 to a fleet of several dozen and now employs several hundred people across the valley, with construction on the new site expected to wrap in the second quarter of 2027. “They've met their benchmarks. They are always on time, and they help our firefighters be able to reach those most in need,” Henderson Mayor Michelle Romero said at the ceremony, as reported by FOX5.
City approvals and the land deal
According to city records, the new headquarters sits inside the West Henderson Global Business District, where councilmembers signed off on a standard development agreement covering about 5.53 acres. In a separate move, the council adopted a resolution to transfer a city-owned parcel to developer Via Nobila LLC for the buildout. The resolution lists a minimum sale price of $930,000 and notes the buyer’s estimate that the campus could ultimately house about 650 employees, figures city leaders leaned on while pitching the project as both an economic boost and a public-safety upgrade. Public notices describe the property as sitting south of the Henderson Executive Airport in the Via Nobila/Via Centro area, according to City of Henderson documents.
Engineering and site work
Civil engineering notes from Patchett Design Group put the campus at roughly 5.5 acres with a building closer to 45,000 square feet and spell out the heavy lifting required underground before crews can really build up. Engineers modeled hydraulic flows, realigned an existing pipe and designed a drainage system capable of handling more than 25 cubic feet per second. The plans also call for more than 2,300 linear feet of new water and sewer lines. Those constraints helped dictate how the campus is laid out and help explain why acreage and square footage figures differ between public filings and engineering documents.
Company growth and training
Community Ambulance traces its roots to 2010 and currently operates from offices at 91 Corporate Park Drive, covering patient transports, special events and community CPR classes. The company’s website and local reporting say the operation now employs roughly 700 people and runs dozens of frontline ambulances across Clark County, growth leaders say pushed the need to centralize training and maintenance under one roof. Plans call for the new headquarters to host the firm’s training programs for businesses and the public, which the company says are aimed at boosting local preparedness, according to Community Ambulance and local reporting by KTNV.
Local impact and jobs
City officials and project documents cast the headquarters as an economic driver and a public-safety play that should support new jobs and quicker ambulance turnarounds. Past reporting has flagged slow ambulance response times in parts of Clark County, and supporters argue that added staging, maintenance and training space could sharpen deployment strategies and trim downtime between calls. Workforce groups have already spotlighted partnerships with EMT academies and one-day hiring events as part of the buildout strategy, as outlined by the City of Henderson, reporting in the Review-Journal and workforce notices from Workforce Connections.
What’s next
Site grading and utility relocation are expected to run through the coming months, with vertical construction to follow once permits and key infrastructure work are in place, according to local reporting. Community Ambulance will keep operating from its current Henderson offices and field locations while the new headquarters rises in West Henderson. Once complete, officials say the campus should give crews more room to train, perform maintenance and stage for major events across the valley.
