Intermountain Health Children's Hospital

Where it stands

Zoning was approved May 20, 2026 for a 830,400 sf hospital of eight stories and 170 feet, with about 200 beds and 1,327 parking spaces (NVBEX). The approval was described as the key entitlement package, with Shepley Bulfinch and Gensler as architects and a PENTA-Jacobsen joint venture as contractor (Shepley Bulfinch).

No groundbreaking has been confirmed in any source we have, despite an earlier early-2026 groundbreaking target, so the start date should be read as unconfirmed. $60 million had been raised toward the hospital as of November 13, 2025 (Las Vegas Review-Journal), and the opening is targeted by 2030 (Nevada DPBH).

Approvals and public record

Zoning approval was granted May 20, 2026 and described as key entitlement approvals (Shepley Bulfinch). The case numbers are not listed in the sources we have.

What is not known

The total project cost has never been disclosed; the only published financial figure is the $60 million raised as of November 2025 (Las Vegas Review-Journal). No groundbreaking date has been announced, and the case number for the May 20, 2026 zoning action is not listed in the sources we have.

Why it matters

At 830,400 sf this would be one of the largest healthcare buildings ever built in the valley, and the contractor team is already named, so the gap between an approved entitlement and an unannounced groundbreaking is the practical question for anyone staging trades or long-lead equipment. For residents, it is the first standalone children's hospital in the state.
