A groundbreaking ceremony for a new $25 million parking garage in the Las Vegas Arts District is set for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 30. The location will be at the corner of Casino Center Boulevard and Utah Avenue, marking the beginning of a much-anticipated project aimed at enhancing parking facilities in the area.
The new structure will be a five-story garage designed to accommodate 500 parking spaces, addressing the growing needs of visitors and residents in the increasingly popular Arts District. Construction will replace a former surface lot located at 201 E. Utah Ave., promising to alleviate parking congestion while providing additional amenities.
Among its features, the garage will offer up to 50 electric vehicle charging stations, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and promoting the use of environmentally friendly transportation. In addition to serving as a parking facility, the garage will also include 10,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, providing local businesses with an opportunity to thrive in this vibrant area.
The design of the garage will incorporate public art installations, contributing to the cultural fabric of the Arts District and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the new building. Noteworthy city officials, including Mayor Shelley Berkley and Ward 3 Councilwoman Olivia Diaz, will be present at the ceremony to mark this significant development.
The contract for the construction has been awarded to Whiting-Turner, a well-known firm in the construction industry, while funding for the project is provided by the city of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency.
During the construction period, the city has proactively directed traffic to alternative off-street parking locations south of Charleston Boulevard to minimize disruptions. Residents and visitors are encouraged to review a map of these alternative parking options and details regarding monthly permit availability available on the city’s website.
Completion of the garage is expected by August 2026, which will significantly improve parking accessibility in the area. The main entrance to the garage will face Casino Center, providing ease of access, while a secondary entrance will be located in the alley south of Imperial Avenue.
This new parking garage aims not just to solve pressing parking issues but also to enhance the overall experience for those engaging with the Las Vegas Arts District. Its combination of functional facilities and artistic elements is set to make a lasting impact on the community while promoting growth in the bustling area.
