CHRISTUS buys DP Road parcel for new Los Alamos health center
CHRISTUS St. Vincent has added 101 DP Road to its Los Alamos health center site, with the new parcel slated for overflow parking across from the planned building.
CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center has bought another parcel at 101 DP Road, adding more land to its planned 25,000-square-foot health care facility at Diamond Drive and DP Road. The deed for the property was filed with the Los Alamos County Clerk’s Office in early June 2026, and the lot had belonged to H&M Properties.
The company plans to demolish the existing structures on the parcel and use the site for overflow parking across the street from the proposed medical building. That makes the purchase more than a paper transaction: it gives the project room for cars, staff and patient access, which is often what determines whether a medical site works smoothly once it opens.
One part of the current building is still occupied, and tenants, including a beauty salon, will stay until they find a new location. That transition shows the project is still moving through the practical steps that come with building in an active commercial area, where existing businesses have to be managed while land is assembled for the new facility.
The new parcel strengthens the footprint CHRISTUS needs for a health center at one of Los Alamos’ busier intersections. A 25,000-square-foot medical building at the corner of Diamond Drive and DP Road will not function like a small office suite; it needs parking, circulation and space for the traffic patterns that come with clinic visits, staff shifts and deliveries. Adding the adjacent property suggests the project is being organized around those needs, not just around the building itself.
For Los Alamos residents, the key issue is access. The more land CHRISTUS controls at the site, the more likely the future center is to handle patients without forcing them to search for parking or use an awkward layout around the main entrance. The purchase also keeps the health project visible in the local real-estate market, with land deals now part of the story as the county’s next medical center takes shape at Diamond Drive and DP Road.
