A Maryland-based design
firm and a San Diego-
based developer take a
multipronged approach to
bringing healthy buildings to
automobile-oriented
Las Vegas.

UnCommons Addresses Walkable
Urbanism, Mixed Use
In the suburbs-which
lack the finer-grained, gridded
block pattern of their urban
counterparts to help stitch
buildings into an urban fabric-
developers must marshal all
their resources to help define
a sense of place for their
projects. In its work for client
Bethesda, Maryland-based
developer LCOR, Baltimorebased
architecture firm Design
Collective formulated urban
design strategies for the
multiple-building residential
development North Bethesda
Center that illustrate a
disciplinary, multipronged
approach.
Traditionally the epitome of an
automobile-oriented Sun Belt city,
Las Vegas faces the challenge of
becoming more sustainable in
the 21st century by developing
walkable urbanism and mixed-use
neighborhoods. That evolution has
been complicated by the drastic
economic and social changes
unleashed by the pandemic, which
have made some workers reluctant
to return to the office.
UnCommons, a $400 million,
40-acre (16 ha) mixed-use community
being developed in southwest
Las Vegas by San Diego-based
Matter Real Estate Group, is
intended to solve those problems.
The project-which will include
over 500,000 square feet (46,500
sq m) of office space, plus more
than 830 residential units, an
entertainment venue, a conference
center called the Assembly, fitness
facilities, restaurants, and a food
hall-was initially designed before
the pandemic and then modified
in response to it.
UnCommons dramatically
reshapes the traditional Las Vegas
development template. Instead
of sprawling separate uses, the
Located in southwest Las Vegas,
the UnCommons project will include
over 500,000 square feet (46,500
sq m) of office space, more than 830
residential units, an entertainment
venue, a conference center called
the Assembly, plus fitness facilities,
restaurants, and a food hall.
