A new $8 million redevelopment called the Brewhaus, now branded the Campus, is set to open near Las Vegas and Oakey boulevards, bringing food, drinks, and live music to a stretch long marked by vacancies and blight.
A major redevelopment project is nearing completion at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Oakey Boulevard, aiming to transform a long-blighted stretch between the Strip and downtown Las Vegas. The project, originally called the Brewhaus and now branded the Campus, is expected to introduce a mix of food-and-beverage venues and live music to an area previously dominated by vacant lots and boarded-up buildings.
Developer Kamran Foulad, through his company Proview Series, has led the $8 million effort to overhaul the nearly 1-acre site at 1701 Las Vegas Blvd. South. The property, once home to a shuttered tire shop, now features a multicolored complex with rooftop decks and a blend of renovated and new construction. According to city records, the development spans approximately 36,700 square feet and is designed to accommodate 11 or 12 tenants.
Food, Drinks, and Live Music Planned
The Campus is envisioned as a destination for both locals and visitors, with plans for at least one brewery, a tequila bar, and a variety of other food-and-beverage concepts. The complex will offer both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as live music programming. Among its unique features is a massive wine barrel, purchased and converted by Foulad for about $15,000, which will serve as a functioning bar on site.
Foulad and his son, Adam Foulad of KLA Capital, have a track record of acquiring and redeveloping underused properties in downtown Las Vegas and the Arts District. Their portfolio includes several buildings now home to popular restaurants and breweries, such as Cornish Pasty Co., SoulBelly BBQ, and Nevada Brew Works. The family’s approach has focused on revitalizing overlooked areas and turning them into new attractions for the city.
Parking and City Approval
One of the main challenges for the Campus project has been parking. The development does not include on-site parking, a point of contention during city review. City staff initially recommended denying the plans, citing concerns that the lack of parking could negatively impact surrounding residential neighborhoods. According to city reports, 143 parking spaces would normally be required for a project of this size.
Despite these concerns, the Las Vegas Planning Commission approved the project in 2023, and the City Council later signed off on revised plans, including a small stand-alone building with a rooftop deck. The Foulads own a 65-space parking lot about a block away at Oakey and Main Street, which is currently operated by the city but sees little use. City Manager Mike Janssen noted that additional parking is planned for the area, including a new 500-space garage and expanded street parking.
Adam Foulad has indicated that the family may take over operations of their nearby lot and offer shuttle rides and parking validation for Campus customers. The complex will also provide three designated spots for ride-hailing services.
Revitalizing a Troubled Stretch
The area around Las Vegas Boulevard and Oakey has long struggled with vacancies, blight, and homelessness. When the Foulads presented their plans to the City Council in 2024, they described the neighborhood as “a little bit dead,” with more illicit activity than legitimate business. Councilwoman Olivia Diaz, whose ward includes the project, called the Campus a “shot in the arm” for the corridor and said local residents are eager for the redevelopment to move forward.
According to property records, Kamran Foulad acquired the site for $2.75 million in 2022. He told city officials that the building was in poor condition and that homeless encampments were common in the adjacent alley. The new project is expected to bring renewed activity and investment to the area, echoing the transformation seen in the nearby Arts District over the past decade.
What’s Next for the Campus
With construction nearly finished, the Campus is preparing to welcome its first tenants and guests. The mix of breweries, bars, and restaurants is expected to open in phases, though a specific timeline has not been announced. The project’s success could serve as a model for further revitalization along Las Vegas Boulevard between the Strip and downtown, an area that continues to evolve as new businesses and developments take root.
