The UnCommons

UnCommons is Las Vegas’ newest mixed-use destination, featuring office, retail, residential, and hospitality ideally located between Summerlin and Henderson. Designed to be a catalyst for meaningful relationships, innovative organizations, and thriving human-scale communities, the 40-acre project provides a one-of-a-kind experience. The campus features best-in-class practices that anticipate members’ needs and creates a comfortable, frictionless experience throughout every element of campus-lifestyle, dining, and services. To create connectivity through a social journey, the team focused on seven experience zones; fitness alley, courtyard, the sanctuary, the retreat, the north 40, dog run, and park east. Each with their own unique purpose and function, these zones are connected through an urban trail which weaves through the entire community, activating the project and creating a curated urban experience of discovery and ample opportunity to make meaningful social connections. Working together, the team identified areas of importance that would make UnCommons stand out as the new leading business community. Elevated Hospitality. Create frictionless experiences throughout every element of the project with a carefully curated tenant mix. Productivity & Performance. Designed spaces that spur creativity and engaging workplace environments, not only within the buildings themselves, but across the site through various exterior collaborative zones in order to fully capture the latest thinking in workplace design. Connected Community. Activate the space by bringing together community members over common interests, ideas, and shared moments of purpose. Through a network of “in between” social spaces across the community. Inspiration & Wonder. Generate curiosity and deep connections through the discovery of on-site activations and unique installations. A richly textured and diverse native plant palette is composed around each of the variously scaled and programmed outdoor spaces. A water harvesting garden including a dynamic architectural rain scupper serves as the foreground from the dining areas to the public walk-scapes. The use of durable materials with warm tones and textures are composed along pedestrian connections and variously scaled gathering areas along with river rock salvaged from the site to create gabion walls for screening and grade change transitions. Public art elements are thoughtfully integrated into the overall site design. The project's total cost was $400,000,000 and remained on budget throughout, despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The team proceeded with the ethos of "investing in Performance". If businesses perform better because of the UnCommons experience, current tenants will want to stay longer, overall demand to be a part of the community will increase and UnCommons will, in turn, perform better for all stakeholders. This urban development brings together a curated mix of uses to provide the community with an inspiring and experiential sense of place. UnCommons will become a beacon for the Las Vegas community and an urban model to build upon.
