LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE:HHC) announced today a joint venture development with Discovery Land Company, the world’s leading developer of private clubs and luxury communities to create an unparalleled luxury living experience in the Summerlin master planned community in Las Vegas, NV.
The joint venture will produce Summerlin’s most exclusive luxury community, consisting of 555 acres of the most scenic, secluded and pristine land only minutes from Downtown Summerlin.
Development on this new resort community is expected to begin in mid-2015 with the first lot and home sales commencing in the latter part of 2015.
Located immediately south of The Ridges, a 752-acre Summerlin custom home and luxury community, the new 555-acre high-end residential resort community will be home to exclusive residential custom lot sites, a private world-class Tom Fazio designed 18 hole golf course and clubhouse with state-of-the-art fitness facility and spa. Given the property’s secluded location adjacent to the Spring Mountains and nearby Red Rock Canyon, it offers spectacular views and a sanctuary for residents seeking a truly private luxury living environment.
“The opening of Downtown Summerlin along with the development of this unmatched resort community will further strengthen Summerlin's unique position as the top place to live in Las Vegas,” said David R. Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “This partnership will bring Summerlin, already critically acclaimed as one of the premier master planned communities in the nation, an exclusive luxury residential destination that will attract discerning home buyers from all over the country.”
Each of Discovery’s projects is distinct from one another with their own themes and architectural styles inspired by the natural environment and traditions of the projects’ locale.
“Our clubs offer privacy, world-class resort amenities with high levels of service and club programs that work in sync to create an appealing lifestyle and culture that is focused on family and a multi-generational membership,” said Michael S. Meldman, Chairman & CEO of Discovery Land Company. “Nothing like this yet exists in Las Vegas, so we are particularly pleased to partner with The Howard Hughes Corporation in bringing this unparalleled resort-style living opportunity to the area.”
Residents of the new resort community will also enjoy access to all the amenities of a Summerlin address, including more than 150 miles of trails, more than 150 parks, nine golf courses, top-notch private and public schools and a robust offering of special events, classes and programs exclusively for those who live in the community. The new luxury community is located just minutes from Downtown Summerlin, a vibrant 400-acre urban center in the heart of Summerlin that opens this fall. It features a 106-acre outdoor, pedestrian-friendly fashion, dining and entertainment destination along with Class A office and urban style residential opportunities.
