Redevelopment
Water Street District
Whether
it’s a developer looking for “the” location for its first or next project;
an entrepreneur or established merchant searching for that perfect retail
space; an artist who wants to pioneer an up and coming arts community: a
business person in need of office space; a person who dreams of urban loft
living, or someone who simply wants to shop, dine and enjoy a concert, the
Water Street District is the place to be.
Be Entertained
At the center of
Water
Street District is the Henderson Events Plaza Amphitheater, which hosts a
variety of performances and concerts coordinated by the Henderson Cultural Arts
and Tourism Department. Since its opening in 2006, the Plaza & Amphitheater
shows have brought more than 650,000 people to Water Street.
Live
As it progresses,
Henderson’s Water Street District will boast urban-style living at its best
including condominiums and lofts, as well as a select number of high-end
apartments for the young professional. Projects either completed, under
construction or planned bring more than 600 condominiums, five luxury apartments
and 65 lofts to the Water Street District.
Dine
Family-oriented and
kid-friendly dining is, and will remain, a trademark of the Water Street
District. Yet, restaurant menu selections will be ideal for the area’s more than
7000-person employee-base. In the evening, dining options will turn more to the
date night scene.
Shop
Water Street District
merchants, the owners and proprietors of bookstores, florists, jewelry stores,
and much more, eagerly welcome the entrepreneurs and franchisees who will join
them in celebrating the success of the Water Street District as they launch
businesses in the growing available square footage of retail space coming on
line within the Water Street District. It is estimated that approximately 80,000
square-feet of retail space will be constructed within the next 12 months. Also
planned is Lake Mead Crossing, a major shopping and office center on 74 acres at
Lake Mead Parkway and Water Street that will contain over 700,000 square feet of
retails, including Target, Ross, PetSmart, Staples and Sportsman’s Warehouse.
Play
Work out, play
basketball, swim, climb a rock wall. Just around the corner from the
Water
Street District main street is the Downtown Henderson Recreation Center
featuring a 24-foot-high rock-climbing wall with auto-belay system, outdoor
pool, elevated walking/jogging track, warm-up and fitness area, gymnasium and wallyball/racquetball court, steam room, sauna, showers and a game room with
GameCube, Xbox and PlayStation 2. Numerous classes are available for adults and
children.
Strictly for adults, the Water Street District also is home to three casinos and some trendy taverns that are open for late evening entertainment.
Arts & Culture
The Water Street
District is a home for the arts and artists. Without a doubt, the
Water Street
District shines brightly throughout Southern Nevada because of its thriving arts
community. A leisurely stroll throughout the Water Street District brings
visitors face-to-face with building-size murals created by internationally
famous muralists and depicting the history of Henderson. The Water Street
District arts crowd may enjoy artists previews and demonstrations and live
entertainment at the Third Thursday Artswalk while enjoying numerous galleries
that feature an array of local, regional and national artists showcasing varying
styles and modalities.
Events
Thousands of visitors
come to Water Street each year for events that are known throughout the
Southwest. The Water Street District is the location for Henderson’s annual ArtFest, which attracts more than 70,000 attendees over a two-day period each
Mother’s Day weekend in May. SuperRun, Southern Nevada’s premier car show brings
over 100,000 visitors to Water Street every September.
