Downtown Summerlin opens in Las Vegas

Las Vegas --The Howard Hughes Corp. on Oct. 9 officially opened Downtown Summerlin in Las Vegas, the largest retail development to open in the U.S. since the economic downturn.



The destination features 125 stores, restaurants and entertainment venues located in a 106-acre expanse of prime real estate just off the 215 Beltway, between Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard. The development also features a nine-story Class A office building - One Summerlin.



“The opening is the culmination of an incredible vision that embodies our core brand values of tenacity, staying the course and a passion for excellence,” said David R. Weinreb, CEO of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “Downtown Summerlin serves as a link between a storied Las Vegas legacy and the 21st-century downtown experience that will engage both local residents and visitors from around the region, continually drawing them to return again and again.”



Downtown Summerlin features a mix of regionally and nationally known brands, boutiques and eateries in addition to retailers and restaurants new to Southern Nevada. Anchored by Macy’s and Dillard’s, those making their home in the Las Vegas Valley for the first time include b.young, Boston Proper, Crave Envy, 4evermen, Golfsmith, Lindbergh and ROC Resto Lounge & Fashion.



In addition to fashion and specialty shops, Downtown Summerlin has assembled an exciting and eclectic collection of restaurants and dining options.



Downtown Summerlin will continue to grow over time with many retailers and food establishments opening in the coming months. In a few short weeks, Nordstrom Rack, Kay Jewelers, New Balance, Red Robin, Ethan Allen and MTO Café are set to open.



Construction on the current development began in the middle of 2013, representing the first phase of the master plan for Downtown Summerlin. Along with more shopping, dining and entertainment options, when the entire 400-acre development is complete, Downtown Summerlin will also include additional office, hotel and multi-family residences, all designed to create a vibrant environment where people can enjoy an urban lifestyle in the heart of the acclaimed 22,500-acre master-planned community.
