A $400 million investment is coming to the Historic Westside of Las Vegas as crews begin a years-long rebuild of Marble Manor, a public housing complex. Residents will be relocating in phases as demolition and reconstruction progress, with the project expected to be completed in seven years. When finished, the redevelopment will expand the site from 235 public housing units to 627 mixed-income units.

Why it matters

The Marble Manor redevelopment is part of the HUNDRED Plan, an initiative driven by residents to spur neighborhood revitalization in the Historic Westside, an area that has seen decades of disinvestment. The project aims to not only upgrade the public housing but also incorporate amenities and mixed-income housing that residents have identified as priorities.

The details

Residents in phase one have already relocated, and their homes have been demolished. By the end of this month, residents in phases two and three are also expected to move out so crews can begin rebuilding. Each household has been assigned a case worker to help make the relocation process easier, with residents either being moved to another public housing site or given a tenant protection voucher. When completed, the redevelopment will expand the site from 235 public housing units to 627 mixed-income, mixed-use, and mixed-finance units.
