UnCommons
[edit]UnCommons is a mixed-use development located in southwest Las Vegas, Nevada. Developed by Matter Real Estate Group, this 40-acre site integrates residential units, office spaces, retail, and dining areas within a community-oriented setting. The project integrates wellness, sustainability, and social interaction in its design. Scheduled for completion by 2024, it is one of the initial projects in Nevada to seek WELL and Green Globes certifications for health and environmental standards.
History and Development
[edit]UnCommons was initiated by Matter Real Estate Group in 2020 to address the growing demand for urban spaces combining residential, work, and recreational facilities.[1].The project reflects broader trends in urban development, favoring mixed-use layouts and adaptable workplaces. The architectural design was undertaken by Gensler, an international firm recognized for its experience in sustainable and community-oriented designs.[2]
Design and Architecture
[edit]UnCommons incorporates WELL certification principles, focusing on indoor air quality, natural lighting, and ergonomic design to support health and wellness[3]. The layout includes green spaces, pedestrian pathways, and open courtyards aimed at fostering social connectivity. The project has also obtained Green Globes certification, reflecting its adherence to standards for energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction[4].
Residential Component
[edit]The residential area, branded as "Vestra at UnCommons," includes over 800 units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. These units feature smart home technology and access to shared amenities such as a fitness center and a resort-style pool[1]. Vestra promotes a walkable lifestyle with close proximity to offices, retail spaces, and communal areas, enabling residents to experience an integrated living environment.
Dining and Retail Spaces UnCommons features a range of dining and retail establishments from local and national brands, including:
- Amari: An Italian restaurant operated by chef Nicole Brisson, offering handmade pasta and Italian dishes[5].
- Salt & Straw: An ice cream shop originating from Portland, known for its variety of flavors[6].
- Mercadito: A Cuban-inspired market and sandwich shop influenced by traditional urban bodegas.[7]
These establishments serve residents and visitors, contributing to the mixed-use character of the development[5][6][7].
Office and Commercial Spaces
[edit]The development includes over 500,000 square feet of office space, with tenants such as DraftKings, Morgan Stanley, and CBRE[8]. The WELL-certified office areas are intended to support productivity, health, and collaboration. An event space, "The Assembly," provides facilities for corporate and social gatherings[9].
Community and Events
[edit]UnCommons fosters a sense of community through events held in its central quad and other public spaces. Regular programming, such as outdoor movies, farmers markets, and live music, encourages social engagement[5]. Public art installations throughout the campus create a visually engaging environment, enhancing the sense of place and community[10].
Future Expansion
[edit]Phase II, scheduled for completion by 2024, will add more office spaces, residential units, and pedestrian infrastructure[7]. It will also include "Platform One," described as Las Vegas’s first neighborhood food hall, which will feature offerings from local culinary professionals[7].
Environmental and Health Certifications
[edit]UnCommons is pursuing WELL Certification, with an emphasis on health and wellness in its design and operation. It has also earned Green Globes certification, indicating its focus on sustainability and environmentally conscious practices[11]
