The Downtown Civic Center Building and Plaza reimagines two city blocks in the heart of Las Vegas as a vibrant civic destination that brings more than 1,000 city employees and the public together in one connected campus. Designed to embody openness, inclusivity, and sustainability, the project creates a new civic heart for the city—one that reflects its evolving identity and celebrates the desert environment.

Two mixed-use office towers, totaling over 250,000 square feet, frame a generous public plaza designed for concerts, markets, and civic gatherings of up to 4,500 people. Terraced voids, vegetated decks, and shaded walkways blur the boundary between indoors and out, encouraging movement, visibility, and connection throughout the day.

Public art by both national and local artists animates the plaza and interiors, grounding the architecture in the cultural fabric of Las Vegas. Sustainable design strategies—high-performance glazing, native landscaping, and passive shading—reduce energy use while enhancing thermal comfort and resilience.

Crafted of stone, metal, and glass, the Civic Center expresses durability, transparency, and civic pride. Together, the building and plaza form a porous and enduring framework for engagement—a living expression of community, nature, and public life in the desert city.
