Yesterday I was invited to Howard Hughes Corporation offices in Downtown Summerlin to see a presentation about Astra Summerlin custom home lots as well as the future of Summerlin West and Downtown Summerlin. What I saw was truly amazing. In this blog post, I will be talking about what I saw in Summerlin West with a focus on the upcoming Summerlin West Urban Core/Commercial Core area. I will break things down for you in 2 different areas of the Urban Core project- Northern Shopping Area near Desert Foothills Drive and Lake Mead Blvd and the second area of the Urban Core will be called the Southern Shopping Center Area.
These are not the official names, I am only using them to describe the two different areas. I will have another blog post about Downtown Summerlin going vertical with high rise condos and other high rises too. As your Realtor in Summerlin, I keep up with all things Summerlin and what’s coming into our community.
Target Summerlin West Urban Core
Finally some good news for all of us here in Summerlin West. I can finally confirm with my own two eyes that yesterday I saw plans for a massive Target Super Center at the intersection of Desert Foothills Drive and Lake Mead Blvd. The Target I saw had two entrances and the building faces north and backs up to the west side of the 215 Beltway. It looked like a massive Target that the Las Vegas Valley has never seen before. That’s just my opinion. No word yet on when construction will start but it would not surprise me that we see activity on this project in the next 1-2 years from now.
I also saw numerous other buildings such as a gas station, other smaller retail strip buildings, several stand alone drive throughs, and it makes the Alberston’s at Charleston and Desert Foothills look like a small picnic area. Plenty of retail space and opportunities for new shops and restaurants to finally come into Summerlin West.

34.69 acres of land will have 3 separate parcels to it that will carry retail spaces described above with access points from Orrock Street, Kestrel Creek Ave and Desert Foothills. There will also be access to this shopping center from Lake Mead Blvd. From what I saw, the Target will be a single story building with 2 entrances to it. My guess is that one entrance will contain retail and the other entrance will be the grocery store entrance. More than likely this will be a Target “A Volume Store” which means they expect massive daily sales and activity due to the location and size of the store. My guess is that this Target will be over 120,000 square feet in size.

Located at the future intersection of Sunset Run Drive and Orrock Street, this unknown grocery store was massive. Once again, it was as big as the Target described above. I would say at least over 100,000 square feet in size. This building will face west and backs up to the western part of the 215 Beltway. There were other smaller buildings that indicate more retail spaces for shops, restaurants, a gas station etc.
With this shopping center, there will be direct access from the Summerlin Parkway and the 215 Beltway once that new interchange is completed some time either next year on 2027 or 2028. There will be a lot of opportunities for new businesses to come into this area and serve all of the Summerlin West residents.

This parcel of land will have 34.14 acres of land to develop into this new shopping center.
In closing, I would expect to start seeing some renderings of both of these shopping centers within the next year or so. When that happens, I will do another blog post and share the images on my web site as well as my You Tube Channel. You can check out my You Tube Channel here: www.youtube.com/summerlinrealtor
