The Las Vegas City Council approved plans Wednesday for an eight-story medical office building at the southeast corner of Charleston Boulevard and Westwood Drive, clearing the way for Charleston MOB Holdings, LLC to develop 4.12 acres inside the Las Vegas Medical District. The project sits near UNLV and close to University Medical Center, adding another major clinical facility to a neighborhood already in the middle of a building boom.
The developer, an entity tracing to TRU Development Company, designed the tower to encompass 206,900 gross square feet with a 27,800-square-foot footprint and a height of 138 feet, according to NVBEX. An attached parking structure will rise 73 feet, and EV&A Architects designed the building’s exterior with metal paneling, tinted glass, and an off-white EIFS finish, per the same outlet. The City of Las Vegas confirmed the council’s approval in a social media post, noting the project would bring new opportunities for medical and health care services to the district.
The 4.12-acre site is made up of 10 separate parcels that had been operating as a temporary construction yard through September 1, 2026, and required rezoning from T3-N to T4-C to move forward, NVBEX reported. Nearby streets named in city land-use records include Rancho Lane, Panor Drive, Westwood Drive, Shadow Lane, Park Circle, Ellis Avenue, Jayar Circle, Mercedes Circle, Charmaster Lane, and Edgewood Avenue.

Plans also call for a 2,100-square-foot restaurant on the ground floor at the building’s northwest corner, with two pedestrian bridges linking the medical office tower directly to the parking garage, which will stand at least four stories tall…
