The Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority recently demolished part of the Marble Manor public housing complex in Las Vegas to make room for its five-phase redevelopment plan.
The SNRHA is the owner of the 35.7-acre site. Brinshore Development is the developer, and Metcalf Builders is the general contractor. Architecture work is being completed by KME Architects and Rosemann & Associates.
The site is currently home to several single-story concrete block homes, many of which are duplexes.
The redevelopment will result in the creation of 627 freshly constructed units. Units will be split between townhomes and apartments.
Additional features include a community center, retail area, parks and various other amenities. The development will feature both low-income and market rate units.
The final phase of the project is expected to be completed in 2032. The entirety of the project is expected to cost between $350M and $400M.
Current Marble Manor residents are eligible to move to other public housing complexes. Additionally, residents are eligible to receive vouchers to rent from private landlords. Moving expenses are to be federally funded.
The first new units are expected to commence construction in January. (Source)
