Henderson was founded in an age of industry. Titanium plants served the war efforts in the 1950’s. Housing in the area embodied the characteristics of these working-class neighbors – hard and tough – from the surrounding manufacturing and mining. This representation of the city has stood for decades. Recent efforts led by the city aim to redevelop their downtown city center. As part of this redevelopment, our project celebrates the industrial ethos and aesthetic of Henderson’s history, while embracing the commercial, residential, and density needs of a modern urban core. Clark County continues to grow…population unnerved by the recession and pandemic now exceed the prerecession population. With this growth we continue to extend, pushing the outer limits of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas. What was once, just a short time ago, barren Mojave Desert is now the altered suburb. In each direction, boundaries are being redrawn in the next new shiny object, as our inner historic cores are being left to fade. Working with the City of Henderson, the site was selected within a blighted area of downtown Henderson, one street west of Water Street.
