A 354-unit apartment complex with retail space is under review for Downtown Summerlin, with Clark County commissioners set to consider the Howard Hughes Holdings proposal on September 2
A major new development could soon add hundreds of apartments and new retail options to Downtown Summerlin, as Clark County commissioners prepare to review a proposal from Howard Hughes Holdings for a mixed-use project in the heart of the master-planned community.
The plan, scheduled for consideration on September 2, calls for a five-story, 354-unit apartment complex with 6,556 square feet of commercial space, according to county records. The nearly four-acre site is located along Spruce Goose Street, just east of the Downtown Summerlin open-air shopping center near Sahara Avenue and the 215 Beltway.
Project Details and Features
According to filings, the proposed development would include a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Amenities outlined in the plans feature a pool, clubhouse, parking structure, and a dedicated “dog spa.” The commercial component is expected to bring additional retail or dining options to the area, further expanding Downtown Summerlin’s offerings for both residents and visitors.
Howard Hughes Holdings, the Texas-based developer behind the Summerlin master-planned community, has already invested heavily in the area’s commercial core. The company’s real estate division, Howard Hughes Communities, described the new project as the next step in Downtown Summerlin’s ongoing growth, emphasizing its potential to improve pedestrian connectivity and introduce new housing opportunities.
Downtown Summerlin’s Continued Growth
Downtown Summerlin has become a central hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment on the west side of the Las Vegas Valley. The district features a 106-acre outdoor retail and dining center, Las Vegas Ballpark, and a Whole Foods Market-anchored shopping plaza, along with upscale apartments and office buildings developed by Howard Hughes Holdings.
Summerlin itself spans 22,500 acres along the valley’s western edge and is home to more than 130,000 residents. The community is known for its high home values, extensive parks and trails, and a network of community centers. The area’s name traces back to Howard Hughes, the famed aviator and business magnate, who acquired the land in the 1950s. The Spruce Goose Street location references Hughes’ legendary World War II-era seaplane.
What Happens Next
The proposed project is still subject to approval by Clark County commissioners. If approved, it would add to the ongoing wave of construction and investment in Downtown Summerlin, further cementing the area’s role as a major residential and commercial destination in Southern Nevada. No construction timeline or opening date has been announced. Residents and visitors can expect updates following the September 2 commission meeting.
