Marble Manor, a midcentury public housing mainstay in Las Vegas’ Historic Westside, is on its way out. The Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority and its private partners have started tearing down the aging complex, launching a multiyear plan to rebuild the site as a mixed-income neighborhood after years of deferred maintenance.
The redevelopment calls for 627 newly constructed homes in a mix of townhomes and apartment buildings, plus a community center, retail space and parks, all rolled out in five phases, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The roughly 235 existing public-housing units are set to be replaced one-for-one over the course of the project, and housing authority officials along with city records spell out how each phase is supposed to unfold.
Who’s building it and when
Brinshore Development is serving as co-developer, while Metcalf Builders is in charge of construction. Metcalf president Bryce Clutts told KTNV that work on the first new buildings is expected to kick off in early 2026, with demolition already underway to clear the site. Project partners say the early phases are focused on replacing the oldest and most deteriorated structures first.
Phase one: what’ll rise first
The opening phase is slated to deliver 138 homes, with about 108 reserved as affordable units and 30 planned as market-rate, along with an outdoor plaza, leasing offices and ground-floor commercial space, Brinshore Development reported in a year-end update. Partners say financing for Phase 1 closed in December 2025 and that the first buildings will meet modern energy-efficiency and accessibility standards. This initial round is designed to provide immediate replacement housing while adding new amenities for current residents and the broader neighborhood.
Relocation and resident protections
The Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority says residents in good standing will receive free relocation assistance, with many households offered housing vouchers and priority to move into the new units once they are ready. Officials say federal grant dollars will cover moving costs and that each household will be assigned a relocation specialist to help sort through their options. The authority describes those safeguards as a core requirement of the HUD-backed redevelopment strategy.
Historic Westside context
First opened in the early 1950s, Marble Manor became a key fixture of the Historic Westside, a neighborhood long shaped by housing discrimination and chronic disinvestment. Local historian Claytee White told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that, if fully realized, the plan has the potential to “help the entire area and the city.” At the same time, residents and neighborhood advocates have publicly vented about cramped units and years of inconsistent upkeep, as documented by recent coverage from FOX5 Las Vegas.
Timeline and price tag
Officials peg the total cost of the redevelopment at roughly $350 million to $400 million, with construction expected to stretch to about 2032 in five phases over roughly eight years, according to local industry reporting from NVBEX. The financing package includes a $50 million HUD Choice Neighborhoods implementation grant alongside additional public and private funding streams, per a press release from Senator Catherine Cortez Masto’s office. The plan is to mix replacement public housing with new market-rate units to diversify the neighborhood’s housing stock…
