New Medical Buildings in Sparks, Nevada

In Sparks, Nevada the city is growing exponentially and will continue to do so. What happens when the next pandemic hits this area that has more people than medical staff? You have to get prepared in the event that something like this pandemic happens again. Professionals within the city decided to lease and open new medical buildings. Then people no matter where they are within the city have urgent care that they can go to instead of flooding the hospitals over minor issues. This frees up the hospitals and emergency rooms for more urgent cases.

Dickson Commercial Group in June added five people to its staff to form a new healthcare services division. They will oversee leasing and property management for nearly 400,000 square feet of medical office space in greater Reno-Sparks.

Pre-leasing activities on the currently being constructed building have been brief due to the proximity of the building to the hospital.

The DCG healthcare services division’s property management portfolio consists of three hospital campuses — Northern Nevada Medical Center, St. Mary’s Center for Health, and Northern Nevada Sierra Medical Center, as well as the Copperfield Medical Building in south Reno. (Source)
