Henderson amends Union Village land purchase agreement
The Henderson City Council voted Tuesday to amend its land purchase agreement with the developer of Union Village, again extending the escrow closing date.
In November, the council voted to extend the closing date by two months. This time, the council voted to extend the closing date to April 16.
"I think that the project is going to happen; I just don't know when," City Manager Jacob Snow said Tuesday.
Council members approved a purchase agreement with the developer, Union Village LLC, in June 2011. The deal calls for the city to sell 150.7 acres near U.S. Highway 95 and Galleria Drive for $11.6 million. Snow has said the city will not sell the land until the developer has signed an agreement with the project's primary tenant.
The $1.5 billion project on a total of 228 acres is being billed as the first integrated health village in the world. The developer has reportedly been involved in negotiations with Dignity Health, formerly known as Catholic Healthcare West, which owns the two St. Rose Dominican hospitals in Henderson.
