A Chicago real estate firm is pushing ahead with plans to develop a new apartment complex in Las Vegas’ Medical District.
Cedar Street Companies held a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday for The Oscar, a 236-unit project near the southeast corner of Alta and Tonopah drives.
Named for former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman, the seven-story complex will feature garage parking, coworking space, a residential lounge that spills out to a pool deck, a fitness center, and a golf simulator, said Cedar Street director Griffin Epping.
He said the firm plans to finish the project in 2028.
Mayor Shelley Berkley said in an interview at the event that people who work in the Medical District have told city officials that they want more housing in the area.
The Medical District is generally bordered by Charleston Boulevard to the south, Rancho Drive to the west and Interstate 15 to the east.
It encompasses University Medical Center, UNLV’s medical school, Valley Hospital Medical Center and other facilities.
