Downtown Project
700 Bridger Ave Suite 400, Las Vegas, NV, 89101, US
Overview
Downtown Project was founded in January 2012 with the idea that if you accelerate co-learning, collisions, and connectedness in the city’s urban core, productivity, innovation, growth, and happiness will fall into place. They’ve allocated $350 million toward revitalization, with $200 million in real estate and development, $50 million in small businesses, $50 million in technology and startups through VegasTechFund, and $50 million in arts and culture, education, and healthcare. A large portion of their investment was allocated toward real estate and development in the Fremont East/East Village districts of downtown Las Vegas. Downtown Project is the umbrella entity under which their extensive ecosystem of local investments are developed, coordinated, and managed.
