PORTFOLIO : URBAN DESIGN

GRAND CENTRAL PLAZA

Las Vegas, Nevada

Corresponding to the redevelopment effort in downtown Las Vegas and setting a precedent for future urban development, this high-rise residential/hotel/retail complex has a density and form that reflect an urban scale, and uses and amenities for an urban lifestyle. Situated in a prime location at the corner of two main thoroughfares, it is adjacent to three key sites: Clark County Government Center, World Market Center, and Las Vegas Premium Outlets.

The complex takes its shape from the intersecting lines of the main thoroughfares and is anchored at each of the three corners by vertical elements – towers with sweeping views of the unique Las Vegas landscape. At the base, live/work units, street level retail spaces, and the hotel lobby create active, pedestrian friendly streetscapes. At the core is a seamlessly integrated above grade parking structure with rooftop terraces, landscaped areas, pool and sun deck.
