Las Vegas Mayor’s Urban Design Award Recipients Announced
Awards Celebrate The City’s Commitment To Sustainability And Livability
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman presented the Mayor’s Urban Design Awards today in City Hall Council Chambers, 495 S. Main St.
These awards honor projects that foster the city’s commitment to sustainability and livability. The awards recognize projects that cultivate walkways and streets that are shared public spaces, promote safety, conserve resources, preserve historic buildings and places, seamlessly link to their surroundings and are pedestrian friendly.
The categories include Building and Environment, Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse, Public Art, and Public Places. This year’s awards were highlighted by a special Visionary Design Award that was given to Derek and Greg Stevens for the Circa hotel-casino. The resort opened in October of 2020 and features unique design elements, including a multi-story sportsbook and the Stadium Swim complex.
Additional award winners include:
- Building and Environment - Area 15, the entertainment complex at 3215 S. Rancho Drive, from the Fisher Brothers and Beneville Studios.
- Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse - The Blue Angel sign, a historic landmark located on Charleston Boulevard near Fremont Street, from Hartlauer Signs.
- Public Art - Boards Up Downtown – Izaac Zevalking, of Recycled Propaganda, for his contributions towards Boards Up Downtown, a public art project that decorated boarded-up businesses during the COVIC-19 pandemic.
- Public Projects - Third Street linear open space and Fremont Street improvement projects from the city of Las Vegas Public Works Department.
