LAS VEGAS, NV – As part of the continuing and ongoing economic development efforts in North Las Vegas, ground was officially broken and construction began on a new Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott hotel, with the milestone event being attending by multiple community members, civic leaders, and city officials.

Among the dignitaries attending the groundbreaking was North Las Vegas Councilman Isaac Barron, who said that the development of the hotel – which is being handled by Nigro Construction – is part of the city’s efforts to make it a place where people want to visit, work and live.

This site will represent more than structural progress; it’s a symbol of economic development, job creation, and community growth,” Barron said. “Nigro’s commitment to excellence and integrity is evident in every project they undertake. They’re not just raising buildings- they’re raising the bar for what’s possible when public and private sectors collaborate with purpose.”

Nigro Construction owner Mike Nigro noted that the development of the hotel represents a positive collaborative effort between the public and private sectors, and it bodes well for future joint development efforts in North Las Vegas.

We are proud of the scope of this project and the opportunity it brings. From construction jobs to ongoing hotel staff positions to future guests, this property will have a lasting and positive impact,” he said. “This groundbreaking is more than just a ceremony- it’s a signal of confidence: confidence in this city, in its potential, and in what we can build when public and private sectors work together with purpose.”

Upon completion, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott will boast 117 rooms spread out over four stories, with sustainability – that is, the focus on minimizing the negative impacts of buildings and construction projects on the environment and maximizing their positive social and economic benefits – being heavily incorporated into the structure’s design.

To that end, the hotel will feature energy-efficient systems and the building process itself will utilize the most environmentally friendly methods possible in order to minimize any potential impact upon the surrounding area and its inhabitants.

The hotel will cater to both business guests and tourism, and will have resort-style amenities such as a large outdoor pool and a modern-style fitness center.

Development of the hotel – which will create dozens of jobs – is slated to be completed in 2026.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Ground has officially been broken on a new community comprised of nearly 400 new homes that is being developed on an 88-acre plot of land along Lake Mead Boulevard in the Las Vegas neighborhood of Summerlin West by homebuilder Taylor Morrison.

Upon completion, Esplanade at Red Rock will take the form of a 400-unit single-family neighborhood with homes ranging in size from 1,500 to 3,200 square feet, and will offer two-to-four-bedroom layouts and garages that can accommodate up to four cars.

According to Bill Renteira – Vice President of Sales for Taylor Morrison’s Las Vegas division – extensive planning was put into the community to ensure that it meets the unique needs of Southern Nevada residents.

Many of the hurdles were addressed at the beginning of the project, like making sure we would be able to meet the demands of the area’s current needs,” he said. “We did intensive market research to get the correct buyer segmentation addressed to best serve this community.”

Esplanade at Red Rock – which will evoke the modern, tropical feel of California’s Plam Springs, a lush city known for its hot springs, stylish hotels, golf courses and spas – will boast numerous high-end amenities for its residents, including a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse with a restaurant, spa, golf simulator, fitness center, pool, and pickleball courts; there will also be walking trails with beautiful scenic views.

In addition, residents of the community will have access to the many perks provided by Summerlin itself, a 22,500-acre master-planned, mixed-use neighborhood that boasts dining, retail, entertainment, and Class A office spaces.

Also, nearby attractions that will be within easy driving distance of Esplanade at Red Rock include the Las Vegas Ballpark, City National Arena, Nevada Ballet Theatre and Summerlin Library and Performing Arts Center.

Esplanade at Red Rock is expected to open in early 2026. There is currently a waiting list, however, there is a ‘coming soon’ campaign running where interested parties can signup for alerts at: https://www.taylormorrison.com/nv/las-vegas/las-vegas-valley/esplanade-at-red-rock

LAS VEGAS, NV – Following the facility’s groundbreaking ceremony that took place in September 2024, construction on Visions Park – a unique and pioneering affordable living apartment complex in downtown Las Vegas that caters exclusively to the needs of blind and visually impaired residents – has officially reached its halfway point, according to officials.

To celebrate the construction milestone, the Blind Center of Nevada invited local dignitaries and officials on a tour – while wearing hard hats, of course, since it is an active work zone – to review the progress on the complex, which is situated near the Blind Center’s main campus at 950 Visions Park Lane.

This collaborative $30 million project was brought to life – financed via $4 million from the city of Las Vegas, $15 million from the State of Nevada, $1.5 million from the city of North Las Vegas, $1.5 million from the city of Henderson and $8 million from Clark County – in order to create an apartment complex that is accessible to those who rely on the resources of the Blind Center.

Upon completion, Visions Park will feature numerous amenities to help sight-challenged tenants retain some degree of independence, including flooring that makes different kinds of noises when you walk on it in order to help blind individuals navigate, as well as special types of lighting to assist those who are visually impaired.

In addition, the project will aid in reducing travel time and costs getting to and from the Blind Center, as currently some report a commute of anywhere from one to two hours every day, according to Henderson City Councilwoman Carrie Cox.

It takes a toll. I’ve had a personal experience with my own mother and seeing her sight fail her towards the end of her life,” Cox said, noting that her mother’s situation improved when she began attending the Blind Center. “And to know the difference that that made for her, there was really not a lot of options. So, this is amazing to me that the Blind Center has taken this leap to bring us all together and to make something happen for those that are visually impaired.”

Visions Park is slated to open in the beginning of 2026; there are already 300 people on the waiting list.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Home builders in Las Vegas are starting to slow down their construction plans and output amid a dip in sales that is being attributed to both high prices and high interest rates on home mortgages in Southern Nevada.

According to a newly-released report by Las Vegas-based Home Builders Research, in Las Vegas in April 2025 there were only 766 net sales – that is, sales contracts that were newly signed, not including cancellations – which represents a year-over-year decrease of 29 percent.

Meanwhile, the houses in question were sold for a median price of $529,833, which is a jump of 8.1 percent from April 2024.

What makes this decrease in sales especially significant is that it occurred during what is normally the busy spring buying season, which Home Builders Research President Andrew Smith said is an unusual development for the region.

The market is steadily slowing week to week lately, unexpected for this time of year,” he said in the report, adding that net sales over the course of 2025 so far “continue to underwhelm” when compared to the same period of time last year.

Another issue, Smith added, is that homebuilders have been repeatedly increasing their base asking prices. This is causing a trickle-down effect upon the local market, as higher prices are causing fewer buyers to take the plunge, and with fewer buyers, builders are scaling their plans back.

As a result, builders are pulling less permits; Smith noted that last month there were just 978 permits issued for new homes in Las Vegas, which is a drop of 19 percent when compared to April 2024.

Basically, buyers are becoming leery of investing the money it takes to purchase a home – both in Las Vegas and nationwide – due to high prices, high mortgage rates, and the overall economic uncertainty that is currently gripping the country.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Howard Hughes Holdings, developer of the Summerlin master-planned community, is currently considering adding a new high-rise condominium complex to the other projects they have erected in the area, including the Downtown Summerlin open-air shopping mall, apartment buildings, a baseball park, and a recently-opened retail shopping center.

David O’Reilly, Howard Hughes Holdings’ CEO, noted that he is weighing the possibility of building a high-rise condo off Sahara Avenue and the 215 Beltway, east of the outdoor mall on a plot of land that the company currently owns.

I think that’s a great use right now,” he said, using the high volume of sales of condos in Summerlin’s The Summit Club affluent guard-gated neighborhood as an example of how these types of housing units are currently in great demand in the region.

O’Reilly also pointed out that the area where they are contemplating building the high-rise is also ripe for retail and rental housing units. Office space is also being considered, although to a lesser degree than in years past due to the fact that COVID-19 was responsible for reducing the need for such accommodations because of the increase in remote work that has persisted following the end of the pandemic.

Located along the Las Vegas Valley’s western side, Summerlin is comprised of 22,500 acres and is home to approximately 130,000 inhabitants, and homes and rental units there are currently fetching some of the highest prices in the region.

Howard Hughes Holdings takes its name from the famed aerospace engineer, business magnate, film producer, and investor; he purchased the community’s initial 25,000 acres – which he originally named “Husite” – in 1952. The community is named after Jean Amelia Summerlin, Hughes’ mother, and years later, Summerlin would go on to become the largest master-planned community in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A Southern Nevada property previously in-part owned by the late Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn – the late, famed German-American entertainers who performed an animal-based magic show together in Las Vegas for years as Siegfried and Roy – will be used for an upcoming 100-unit housing project by developer Tri Pointe Homes.

The project site is comprised of 28 acres in the upper northwest Las Vegas Valley’s Kyle Canyon area, along Kyle Canyon Road approximately one mile west of U.S. Highway 95.

Tri Pointe Homes’ plans for the housing development were originally approved in March by the Las Vegas City Council, and in April investment firm Kennedy Lewis Investment Management finalized their purchase of the site for a reported sum of $19 million, according to Clark County records. They then granted Tri Pointe an option to purchase the property needed for their Kyle Canyon Road project, which they accepted.

The land for the project is a patchwork of plots acquired from multiple sellers; among them was Siegfried and Roy, who had sold off 6.7 acres prior to their passings – Siegfried died in 2021 at the age of 81, and Horn died in 2020 at 75 – that would eventually become part of the Tri Pointe site.

The duo had been famous for years for their extravagant magic and white tiger act on the Las Vegas Strip.

The project will create a new subdivision along Kyle Canyon Road – which provides local residents the means to Mount Charleston and back – and represents suburban development creeping ever-outwards from the city of Las Vegas in an attempt to address the region’s growing housing crisis.

Tri Pointe already has a sizable presence in the area. They are currently selling homes in their neighboring Kyle Pointe community for prices starting at $500,000; according to its website, the community boasts “eye-catching architecture, flexible modern interiors, and the promise of outdoor adventure.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – Ground was broken on Tuesday of this week on Origin at Symphony Park and Cello Tower Residences, a huge mixed-use development in downtown Las Vegas that officials say should serve to address many underserved needs in the city once it is complete.

Spanning six acres within the 61-acre Symphony Park development across from city hall – which also calls Smith Center and the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health home – Origin at Symphony Park and Cello Tower will be comprised of retail businesses, corporate office space, and a luxury residential high-rise condominium tower, the first of its kind constructed in Las Vegas in over 15 years.

The goal of this development – as per builder Red Ridge Development – is to create a full-fledged community within walking distance of the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and Fremont Street Experience.

Retail tenants are already lining up for Origin at Symphony Park, despite construction only having just begun; among them are what is being touted as a national grocery store chain – the name of which will be announced in the near future – which is something that Vegas’ downtown area has been sorely lacking for some time.

Meanwhile, the 32-story Cello Tower – designed by architecture firm Perkins Eastman – will be comprised of eight penthouse suites beginning at $4.5 million, along with an additional 240 one-and-two-bedroom residences that will start at $700,000 and up.

The complex will feature numerous high-end finishes and appliances for its residents in addition to a great many amenities, including an elevated outdoor environment on the 25th floor featuring beautiful landscaping, gorgeous views, and a fountain; an exhibition kitchen and private dining room; pods for barbecues; a hyper-oxygenated resort-style pool; a TV media wall; a pet spa and park; and an entire 7,000-square-foot floor dedicated to wellness, including a full gym and spa facilities.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Sales for homes in La Cova, a new guard-gated, master-planned luxury community located in SouthShore Lake Las Vegas, officially commenced this week according to the project’s developer, Tri Pointe Homes Las Vegas.

Tri Pointe Division President Klif Andrews said that La Cova is a waterfront resort-style community whose homes will boast a luxurious European design aesthetic, right in the heart of Nevada.

La Cova introduces a new pinnacle for resort-style living in Las Vegas,” he said. “La Cova is an alluring opportunity for luxury buyers who want every day to feel like a getaway.”

The community’s unique look and feel was in-part designed by Woodley Architectural Group, with La Cova being comprised of 42 residences spread out amongst three enclaves on adjacent peninsulas. 38 homes are located along the shore of Lake Las Vegas, and the remaining four near the community’s edge, adjacent to the SouthShore Country Club golf course.

La Cova is going to be unlike any other place,” Andrews said. “The way we connect homes to the water, it’s like having your own private luxury resort. It gives buyers a rare opportunity to purchase something incredibly unique for our market.”

The homes on-offer in La Cova will offer six different styles to buyers and range in size from 2,800 square-feet to over 4,200 square-feet, with prices ranging between $2 million and $4 million.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Z Life Company, an eco-friendly residential developer that touts themselves as pioneers in sustainable, luxury real estate “focused on innovated structural design and contemporary experience,” broke ground on a new project in Las Vegas’ Arts District this past Friday.

“Midtown Plaza” will be a mixed-use facility comprised of six towers offering condominiums, hotel rooms, apartments, and retail options, located near the intersection of Coolidge Avenue and First Street.

According to Z Life Company Chief Operating Officer Anna Olin, her company has invested a significant sum into the city of Las Vegas, including $300 million for the Midtown Plaza project alone.

Olin noted that while the relatively quiet part of the Arts District located south of Charleston Boulevard has seen a surge in development and an influx of new businesses and foot traffic in recent years – restaurants, coffee shops, and numerous retail stores – the area of the district north of Charleston has not seen the same level of resurgence, having remained “unused for a number of years.”

Z Life Company’s decision to build Midtown north of Charleston reflects the company’s desire to help it rise to the same level of prominence as the rest of the Arts District, Olin said.

Midtown is slated to have 87 residential units – comprised of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse options – with prices starting at a base level of $299,000, and accompanied by numerous high-end amenities such as energy-efficient appliances, all-electric interiors and access to a shared series of Tesla electric vehicles (EVs).

Midtown will be located at 921 South Main Street, and will be managed by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties, with retail sales represented by the Martinez Group.

“Midtown is unlike anything Las Vegas has seen before,” Matthew Martinez of the Martinez Group said. “We’re bringing together everything that makes downtown living exciting – walkable spaces, local businesses and modern design – all while keeping it accessible.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – The developers of UnCommons – a huge, 40-acre mixed-used facility in southwestern Las Vegas – announced that construction efforts have officially been completed, although some of the remaining empty land on the property may be used for future projects.

UnCommons – located at Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in the southwest valley – is essentially a mini-city within a city, consisting of 500,000 square feet of offices, as well as restaurants, health and fitness studios, relaxation options, and over 830 residential units, in addition to The Assembly, an experimental project consisting of a 5,000-square-foot conference and event pavilion.

The Assembly is being touted as a one-of-a-kind addition to the mixed-use development that can host a variety of event types, including talks, community events, and weddings; the space can even be utilized as hub for the facility’s office tenants when needed.

The apartment complex situated within UnCommons – which is dubbed Vestra – is made up of 830 units spread out amongst three towers; in addition, office tenants consist of notable companies such as Draft Kings, CBRE Group Inc, Deloitte and Newmark.

On the storefront side, food and beverage locations include Urth Caffe, Teaspoon, and Amari, and retail businesses are made up of varied businesses such as a luxury candle maker and a hair salon.

The concept behind the $800 million project – which originally broke ground in 2020 – is that it is a space where the various employees working for the businesses located there have numerous solutions to all of their needs – living space, entertainment, exercise, and more – right there at their fingertips.

Matter Real Estate Group partner Jim Stuart said that the UnCommons project is already a rousing success, with 93 percent of the office space leased, along with 90 percent of the retail and restaurant space and 60 percent of Vestra.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Recently, ground was broken on PuraVida Senior Living, a new senior housing community in North Las Vegas that is being brought to live via a joint venture between Foresight Housing Partners and nonprofit partner HopeLink of Southern Nevada.

Situated next to Lake Mead West Apartments PuraVida Senior Living will be located upon 3.89 acres of land and will consist of 74 single-story units spread out across 14 buildings. North Las Vegas is in dire need of more supportive housing options for their elderly population to be able to age in place and live independently, and PuraVida will help in addressing that shortcoming.

PuraVida is being paid for by numerous sources, such as HOME MEANS Nevada – American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, Southern Nevada Region Housing Authority project-based vouchers, HOME Grants, and contributions from the project’s developers.

In addition to housing, the PuraVida will also offer a slew of amenities for their residents, such as a community center with a full kitchen, a dog park, unit gardens, open green space and outdoor pickleball courts. Also, the community is specifically located near public transportation routes in an effort to help senior residents get around easily, as well as major retail and shopping options such as Wal-Mart. There are also numerous local employers in the area in case any residents are looking for work.

On-site supportive services will be readily available, including full-time case managers, weekend and holiday staffing, resident engagement programming, and access to health care services as well as other services.

Hassan Chaudhry, President of Foresight Housing Partners, said that no stone was left unturned when it comes to providing for the needs of PuraVida’s residents.

PuraVida Senior Living will provide much-needed, supportive housing to seniors in North Las Vegas,” he said. “This project is designed to not only provide accessible and safe housing, but to create a vibrant community for our senior residents with the support and amenities they deserve.”

Development of PuraVida Senior Living is scheduled to be finished by fall 2026.

LAS VEGAS, NV – In a move to address the housing crisis in Southern Nevada, the Las Vegas City Council will be reviewing potential zoning changes this week that, if approved, will convert the Desert Pines Golf Club into the largest affordable housing project in the history of the state of Nevada.

In November 2024, a $25 million loan was approved by the Nevada State Infrastructure Bank to finance the initial phase of the redevelopment of the Desert Pines Golf Club to convert the property into a master-planned community dubbed “Desert Pines,” which will be comprised of 1,082 affordable multifamily housing units and 280 market-rate housing units.

In addition, the Desert Pines community will also offer a 10,000-square-foot community center, a 10,000-square-foot early education center, a 30,000-square-foot job training center and 75,000 square feet of commercial space.

The city of Las Vegas owns the 100-acre property that the golf club currently occupies. The Las Vegas City Council announced they will allow the club – located at East Bonanza Road and North Pecos Road along Interstate 11 in the east valley – to continue to operate as normal until the Desert Pines Redevelopment Project is ready to commence construction.

The $25 million loan will be to finance the project’s initial infrastructure, work which will be carried out by the not-for-profit group Urban Strategies and developer McCormack Baron Salazar. However, the main thrust of Desert Pines’ development will be a broad partnership between multiple entities, including the state of Nevada, the city of Las Vegas, Clark County, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust and the Southern Nevada Building Trades Unions.

The development will be carried out in phases, with the first one slated to cost $54.3 million; the overall total cost of the project is anticipated to come in at approximately $450 million, and will provide thousands of jobs throughout its construction.
