Wynn Design & Development (WDD), the creative arm of Wynn Resorts, has signed a lease for 38,800 square feet on the top floor at 1700 Pavilion, a new 10-story, Class-A office building under development in Downtown Summerlin.
Downtown Summerlin is a 400-acre planned community developed by the Howard Hughes Corp. 1700 Pavilion, scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2022, will span 267,000 square feet on three acres with views of the Las Vegas Valley, from the Strip to Red Rock Canyon.
The new headquarters “supports our goal of providing an energetic, social and invigorating landscape” for WDD employees, said Todd-Avery Lenahan, the subsidiary’s president and chief creative officer. “Our team of accomplished design and development professionals have come to us from all over the world. With WDD becoming a part of the Summerlin community, our staff will enjoy a fantastic live/work environment that is unmatched anywhere else in Las Vegas.”
The new location ” is precedent-setting in Las Vegas in terms of the quality-of-life benefits it offers our team, and how it minimizes the environmental impacts of commuting,” he said. “With over 70 percent of our team living on the west side of the valley, we’ll be reducing our collective commuting distance by over 160,000 miles annually. WDD’s new home in Downtown Summerlin reaffirms Wynn Resorts’ commitment to Las Vegas by cementing its corporate presence here as one of the world’s most preeminent hospitality and entertainment brands.”
It previously said the upscale project, at 1700 S. Pavilion Center Drive, would cost an estimated $120.4 million. Wynn is taking the entire top floor and a large portion of the ninth floor, said Kevin Orrock, Las Vegas regional president for Hughes Corp.
He also said that Wynn’s name would be at the top of the building and that its lease would be a “catalyst” for other firms to invest in space there.
