Prime Location Offers Proximity to Diverse Employment Options in Growing Enclave South of Las Vegas Strip
(CHICAGO – October 23, 2025) – Waterton, a national real estate investor and operator, has partnered with The NRP Group, a vertically integrated developer, builder, and manager of multifamily housing, to acquire an 8.5-acre site on South Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, NV. The partnership today announced the financial close for the development of a 368-unit luxury rental community with construction scheduled to begin imminently. The project represents the first partnership between Waterton and The NRP Group as Waterton enhances its traditional value-add strategy with its first large-scale development project.
“We’re excited to be partnering with such an experienced development firm to bring this project to life and further our development strategy,” said Kristi Nootens, senior vice president, development at Waterton. “This project offers an excellent opportunity to create a luxury rental community in a sunbelt market with relatively limited supply and strong employment growth in the immediate area. The location is proximate to a variety of employment opportunities in a growing submarket where the costs of homeownership far exceed the costs of renting.”
The South Valley rental community will consist of two four-story, elevator-serviced multifamily buildings offering studio, one-, two, and three-bedroom floorplans with select one-bedrooms also featuring a den. Residences will include quartz countertops, subway tile backsplashes and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchens, with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The resort-style amenity package will include an outdoor pool, two courtyards, and outdoor seating areas with firepits and grilling stations. A well-appointed club lounge, co-working space and conference room round out the amenity offerings planned at the community.
“Partnering with Waterton has enabled us to bring high-quality housing to one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions,” said The NRP Group Vice President of Development Mike Moriarty. “As our first collaboration together, this project reflects our shared vision for creating a vibrant, thoughtfully designed community that meets the needs of today’s South Enterprise residents. With a prime location near major employment hubs, retail and entertainment, it offers residents a lifestyle that combines convenience and luxury living.”
Situated just 15 minutes south of the Las Vegas strip, the location will offer residents convenient access to diverse employment options including Levi Strauss & Co.’s regional office and distribution center, and the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders headquarters and practice facility. Just five minutes from South Valley, HAAS Automation has begun construction on a new 2.4 million square foot headquarters and manufacturing facility that is expected to bring in 1,400 new jobs to the area, and the recent opening of the 150-bed West Henderson Hospital and plans for future expansion are expected to further contribute to economic growth and development in the area. Brightline West, a high-speed rail linking Las Vegas to Southern California with an estimated two-hour travel time, is expected to be complete in 2028 and will be a 10-minute drive from the property.
Waterton and The NRP Group are providing equity commitments while CIBC is providing a senior loan. The NRP Group will serve as general contractor and provide property management services. Delivery of the first residences is estimated for mid-year 2027 with completion targeted for early 2028.
