Summerlin

Summerlin is a master-planned community often reported as one of the best-selling master planned communities in the US. DTJ’s integrated approach included placemaking, community-wide planning, visioning, design guidelines, landscape architecture, Summerlin Village monumentation, and architecture.

Summerlin West thoughtfully integrates with the natural topography, with over 1000 feet of vertical grade change, western adjacency to Red Rocks Conservation Area, and views to the Las Vegas Strip to the east. The dramatic site is organized around five village cores, including a high-density urban core at its heart. We implemented a complete streets strategy to benefit multi-modal transportation, as well as public transit systems. DTJ has provided a comprehensive approach to community planning, including land uses, open space systems, community-wide trails, and a strategic integration of open space and stormwater management. Valuing regional and contextual market trends, the Summerlin West Master Plan positions the property over the next 25 years.

Redpoint + Kestrel

Redpoint and Kestrel are residential districts that help create a transition from conventional neighborhoods to denser, more modern neighborhoods. The series of monuments blends rougher stone masonry with more refined steel panels and lettering. A series of monuments, gateways, and markers help define edges and transitions into the district.

Redpoint Square + Kestrel Commons

These two districts are urban, residential offerings. The monumentation expressions are more refined with clean lines of stone tiles, metal panels, and accent lighting. The gateways create a clear transition into the district for both drivers and pedestrians. Markers are located on the edge of each district, clearly defining the style and character of the architecture and amenities.

The Peaks

Use of color, material, and a memorable pedestrian experience were all goals for this critical corner within Summerlin South. This monument introduces several high-end residential neighborhoods tucked into the foothills. Use of rammed-earth walls, stucco, and metal trellises create an elevated experience for drivers and pedestrians.  The important integration of hardscape and softscape elements helps reinforce the critical combination of natural landscape and built environment.

Summerlin Astra Custom Home Community

Summerlin West transitions from the existing city edge to the mountain open space, prioritizing the experience of living within the mountain desertscape rather than next to it. An offering of custom lots ranging from 1/2 to 2 acres in size helps to blend Astra into the natural settings of geologic formations, desert washes, and the adjacent La Madre Peaks foothill environment. The integration of community amenities and homesites balances the highest potential value blended with the overall curated aesthetic of the property.
