Developer Sam Cherry's new five-story, 104-unit apartment complex called Share Westside is nearing completion in Las Vegas' Historic Westside neighborhood. The one-bedroom units will range around 580 square feet and include amenities like coworking space, a fitness center, and a movie screening room. The ground-floor commercial space will be leased to the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency, which is actively seeking tenants.

Why it matters

The Share Westside project marks the first sizable private housing development in the Historic Westside in decades. The neighborhood was once known as the "Mississippi of the West" due to its history of racial segregation, and city officials had struggled to attract new housing proposals to the area before Cherry got involved.

The details

Cherry, CEO of Cherry Development, expects to have the Share Westside complex ready for occupancy by the end of May 2026. The project includes 84 units that will be subject to a covenant with the city to limit rental rates and price increases, effectively providing workforce housing. Cherry is also developing the adjacent Good Word Social Club, a commercial project that will serve as a community gathering space with dining, entertainment, and programming.

  • Cherry expects to complete the Share Westside apartment complex by the end of May 2026.
  • Cherry is holding a ceremonial groundbreaking for the Good Word Social Club on February 25, 2026.

What they’re saying

“There hasn't been [a big apartment complex built in the Westside] in many decades.”

— Cedric Crear, Former Las Vegas City Councilman (Review-Journal)

What’s next

The City Council approved project plans for the Share Westside apartment complex in mid-2023, and Cherry closed on the purchase of the site in fall 2024. The complex is expected to open for occupancy by the end of May 2026.

The takeaway

The Share Westside project represents a significant private investment and development in Las Vegas' Historic Westside neighborhood, which has long struggled to attract new housing proposals due to its history of racial segregation. The inclusion of workforce housing units and the adjacent community-focused Good Word Social Club suggest an effort to revitalize the area while preserving its character.
