Symphony Park (Las Vegas, Nevada)

 neighbourhood development  Add category

Bordering Downtown Las Vegas' west edge, is a never before developed, 61 contiguous acres which is the last of four developed sections of Union Park. The 61 acres has been in the news for a while now, as Mayor Goodman is itching to develop it. A major railway thoroughfare skirts the property's east edge, dividing it from downtown. This makes it a challenge to blend this parcel with the existing downtown area.

This area was known as Union Park, until May 20, 2009 when the Las Vegas City Council renamed it Symphony Park.

Current plans include letting different developers have pieces of it to develop, this would give it a more "city-like" look and feel than it would have if one developer created the whole area.

The Plaza hotel would need to be removed so that Fremont St. could extend into the area, bridging the railroad tracks. The folks at the Plaza are willing to entertain the idea of letting the city have its way in exchange for some of the new parcels in the 61 acres, so they can build a new resort hotel there.
