World Jewelry Center Plans approved by Las Vegas City
According to Mayor Oscar Goodman: “This will be an important part of Union Park, along with the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute, the Smith Center for the Performing Arts, the Charlie Palmer Hotel, and the Access Medical-Kimpton Hotel projects, that together will create an exciting experience for everyone who visits or does business there…”
This project will create thousands of new jobs outside the gaming industry thereby further diversifying the Las Vegas economy.
This massive 50 story, million square foot tower will include public retail space, class A office condominiums and ultra-luxury residential condominiums will top the structure.
Other projects in the area include the massive World Market Center which is expanding rapidly since its ultra-successful opening 3 years ago. The Luxury Outlet Mall which is the most successful facility of its type in the United States.
The Union Park area (aka “the 61 acres”) is located directly west of Fremont Street and is being developed into a high density planned city of the future and cultural center for Las Vegas. This development is augmented by other rapid development currently taking place in the City and along the Las Vegas “Strip.”
