Henderson West
Location: Henderson, Nevada, USA
Client: Sauvage Real Estate, LLC
Already the second largest city in Nevada, Henderson is absorbing much of the growth in the Las Vegas Valley, with undistinguished suburban enclaves of single-family homes and strip retail development spread across the desert landscape. Recent growth along the I-15 freeway corridor, which links Southern California with Las Vegas, and the city’s desire to evolve beyond its suburban past, have positioned Henderson’s westside to become a major new mixed-use urban district for the greater Las Vegas region. The Henderson West project seeks to be the center for this new urban district that provides a mixed-use, high-density hub for the western area, serving as well as a prototype for future development elsewhere in the Valley.
The Henderson West master plan is built upon environmental principles including to minimize the effect of extreme heat and winds during summer months. Buildings and courtyards are oriented to provide protection from winds and shade for outdoor walking areas. Pedestrian pathways are integrated throughout the project passing through and around a variety of active and passive open spaces. The emphasis is on pedestrian movement with less dependence on the automobile. Housing densities range from 25 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 200 dwelling units per acre. The goal of the plan is to build upon a growing desire within the community for urban living including a variety of housing densities and amenities that accommodates a range of lifestyles, as well as to set a high standard for future development in the region.
