When City of Las Vegas staff visited the parcel on the north side of Alta Drive in early 2025, they found native vegetation and an unpaved access road along the west and north edges. Every old sign along Alta had been taken down except one, a "coming soon" real estate sign. At that point the land had already been sold, rezoned and approved for a medical office campus. Nothing had been built because the project was waiting on doctors.
Anyone who drives Alta between Hualapai Way and the TPC Las Vegas side of Summerlin has seen that change. On June 23, 2026, the developer held a groundbreaking for Queensridge Medical Plaza at 10000 Alta Drive. The project was approved in early 2023 but didn't start until enough medical practices agreed to buy their own offices.
The land started out as civic open space
City planning records place the site on the north side of Alta Drive, about 2,115 feet east of Hualapai Way. In those same records, land north of Alta in this area is mostly designated Parks, Recreation and Open Space, while the land south of Alta belongs to the Peccole Ranch development. The developer's announcement puts the parcel just outside the Summerlin master plan.
For most of its history, this was civic land:
| Date | What the city record shows |
|---|---|
| March 18, 1981 | The Board of City Commissioners rezones about 320 acres around Angel Park, between Durango Drive and Hualapai Way, from Non-Urban to Civic |
| Aug. 14, 2008 | On a separate 22-acre site east of Hualapai, about 725 feet north of Alta, the Planning Commission approves a plan for a 10-foot-wide desert nature preserve trail with shade structures |
| Nov. 15, 2010 | A recorded survey divides 80.28 acres east of Hualapai and north of Alta into three parcels, including this one |
| July 20, 2022 | City Council finds that a Disposition and Development Agreement with Panther Acquisitions, LLC to sell the land for medical offices serves the public interest |
| Jan. 18, 2023 | Council changes the 12.23 acres from Parks, Recreation and Open Space to Service Commercial, and the zoning from Civic to Limited Commercial |
| Oct. 18, 2023 | A deed is recorded for the change in ownership |
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, developer Scott Goldstein paid the city about $13.6 million for the land, and the sale closed in fall 2023. The paper also reported that the agreement with the city requires at least 100,000 square feet of offices within a medical office campus. That requirement settled what the land would become. The next two and a half years settled when.
Approved in 2023, still waiting in 2025
The council's January 2023 vote approved a 187,000-square-foot medical office campus with two three-story buildings and two future pad sites. It also approved a variance allowing 891 parking spaces where the code calls for 1,068 for medical office use. City staff had recommended denying both the site plan and the parking variance. The Planning Commission recommended approval, and the council approved them.
By the March 5, 2025 council meeting, no building permits had been issued and no permit applications had been filed. The staff report said the applicant had not yet signed up enough medical office tenants to start development, which is why the extension was requested. Staff recommended a two-year extension. Without one, the approvals would have expired as of Jan. 18, 2025. NVBEX reported that the council approved the extensions.
So the city's decision did not hold up construction. Zoning, land sale and site plan were all in place by fall 2023. The dirt didn't move until medical practices committed to the project.
The building next door already proved demand
The best evidence for this corner sits just east of the new construction. In 2021, Goldstein broke ground on a three-story, 70,000-square-foot medical office building on Alta just east of Hualapai. The Review-Journal reported at the time that it was 70% leased before construction and that Dr. Mike Crovetti's practice would take about half the space. When it opened in June 2023, the paper's opening coverage described it as 100% leased with 200 medical jobs. Goldstein said the building offered a "modern approach to high-quality medical care."
The building then sold. The Review-Journal reported that Goldstein sold it in 2025 to Intermountain Health for $42.5 million, and that it was fully occupied when it sold. Here is what that address holds, according to Intermountain's own pages and the 2023 opening coverage:
| At 10040 Alta Drive | Source and date |
|---|---|
| Intermountain's Alta Cardiology Clinic, Suite 350: clinical cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure treatment, interventional cardiology; 702-360-7600 | Intermountain Health location page, current listing |
| Queensridge Surgery Center and Surgical Recovery Suites, Suite 140: four operating rooms, a cardiac catheterization lab, and 10 recovery suites with a fitness facility, opened in 2023 | Intermountain news release, Feb. 27, 2025 |
| Crovetti Orthopaedics, Smith Therapy Partners, Queensridge Modern Dentistry, NoBe Wellness Med Spa, Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging | Review-Journal opening coverage, June 2023 |
The 2023 tenant list is three years old, so call ahead before going to any office on it. Even so, the building shows the pattern: specialty visits, surgery, overnight recovery, therapy and imaging under one roof, which is how Goldstein described it when it opened.
Selling the suites got phase one started
The first building was leased to tenants. The new one is an office condominium project, so practices buy their suites. The Review-Journal reported that more than half of the first phase was presold by the groundbreaking. Goldstein told the paper that medical tenants "want to own their own real estate." The same article explained that owning office space lets a business build equity, get loans, and control another part of its operations.
In 2025, the staff report said the project was waiting on enough medical tenants. By June 2026, more than half of phase one had sold before construction started.
In Goldstein's words, from the developer's announcement published by Las Vegas HEALS, the new project "expands access to an ownership model that continues to resonate with providers across the valley."
What 10000 Alta Drive is expected to bring
The ceremonial groundbreaking included remarks from Mayor Shelley Berkley and Ward 2 Councilwoman Kara Kelley. Burke Construction Group is the builder. EV&A Architects is the design architect, and Avaruus Studios is handling production architecture. The first phase is two two-story buildings totaling 89,200 square feet. The design calls for an earthy color palette, clean minimal forms, composite wood accents and integrated lighting.
The developer's announcement lists the kinds of practices expected to own space in the buildings:
- Primary care clinic
- Dermatology clinic
- Cardiology
- Sleep center and mental health clinic
- Concierge doctor
- OB-GYN
- Med spa
- Plastic surgery
- Medical administrative services
The announcement names specialties, not practices. Treat the list as a forecast until signs go up. A primary care clinic would add something the corner doesn't have now. Intermountain's listing at 10040 Alta is for cardiology, and the medical offices operating at this corner today are the ones at that address.
Completion dates vary by source. The Review-Journal reported that Goldstein expected the two first-phase buildings to be finished around spring 2027. The developer's announcement says completion is expected in mid-2027. The overall plan has also changed. According to the Review-Journal, 2026 city records show four buildings totaling 178,400 square feet on the 12.2-acre site. That differs from the 2023 approval of two three-story buildings and two pad sites totaling 187,000 square feet. No timeline has been published for the last two buildings. Based on how the earlier buildings went, they will likely wait until enough practices commit.
Until 2027, construction plus utility work on Hualapai
For now, the corner is an active construction site where vacant desert used to be. A short distance away, Hualapai has its own work zones. The city's disruption report dated Oct. 22, 2026 lists fiber-splice work on Hualapai Way at Homestretch Drive through Dec. 3, and on Hualapai Way at Charleston Boulevard through Dec. 4. Neither entry covers Alta and Hualapai, but both are on routes many drivers in this part of Summerlin use to reach Charleston.
The Review-Journal puts the parcel about a mile and a half from Summerlin Hospital. Once phase one opens, Alta Drive east of Hualapai will have a cardiology clinic, a surgery center and, if the expected owners follow through, a range of everyday and specialty practices on land that held only a "coming soon" sign in early 2025.
