New Movie Studio Proposed for Summerlin!

A New Development in Summerlin Could Bring Film Jobs

There may be a new development in Summerlin soon. The proposed construction of a $1.8 billion movie studio and mixed-use development in Summerlin, Las Vegas, proposed by Howard Hughes Holdings, Sony Entertainment, and even actor Mark Wahlberg is making progress. This ambitious project, recently approved by the Clark County Zoning Commission, aims to not only revolutionize the local entertainment industry but also stimulate economic growth by potentially generating 10,000 jobs in the region.


The idea of bringing a movie studio to Las Vegas traces back to a conversation between Howard Hughes Holdings CEO David O'Reilly and Mark Wahlberg, who expressed his vision for a movie studio in Las Vegas. Following this discussion, O'Reilly initiated collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, ultimately leading to the conceptualization of Summerlin Production Studios. This new project signifies a shift in the traditional epicenter of the film industry, with Las Vegas emerging as an attractive destination due to its favorable business environment and potential for job creation.


The approved project encompasses a sprawling complex featuring 10 buildings spanning approximately 500,000 square feet, specifically designed to support film production activities. Additionally, the mixed-use development will incorporate retail, restaurant, and office spaces, complemented by essential community services such as an emergency room facility and a satellite office for Clark County administration. Notably, the project aligns with efforts to establish a vibrant commercial center in Summerlin.


Crucially, the success of this venture hinges on securing favorable legislative support, particularly through Nevada's film tax credit program. While the proposed legislation failed to pass in previous sessions, proponents remain optimistic about its reintroduction and potential approval, which could unlock substantial investments from Sony and pave the way for expanded film and television production in Southern Nevada.


Despite the project's promising prospects, it has elicited mixed reactions from local residents. While some view it as a boon for job creation and economic prosperity, others express concerns about potential drawbacks, including increased traffic and changes to the neighborhood's character. Developers and county officials have pledged to listen and address these concerns and ensure community engagement throughout the project's implementation.


Looking ahead, the realization of Summerlin Production Studios would be a significant milestone for the Las Vegas entertainment industry. As developers navigate the intricate process of design, permitting, and legislative advocacy, the project stands poised to redefine Summerlin's landscape and leave a lasting imprint.

When applying for one of our rental properties, we use a comprehensive screening score sheet to ensure all applicants are held to the same standard. The score sheet evaluates various aspects of your financial stability and rental history, helping the landlord make informed decisions while maintaining a fair and transparent process! Here’s a breakdown of how we assess your application utilizing the screening score sheet: 1. Length of Residency: While longer periods at previous residences typically suggest reliability and commitment, we understand that some applicants may be first-time renters. We welcome first-time renters, and on the screening score sheet, you can assign yourself a "1" under "Length of Residency" if this is your first rental experience! 2. Collections: We review any outstanding collections, including monthly utilities or bills, as well as loans (excluding medical bills). This helps us assess your overall financial responsibility. Your estimated monthly payment for all your loans, utilities and bills is also taken into consideration. 3. Rent-to-Income Ratio (per household): To ensure you can comfortably afford the rent, we require that your monthly income is at least 2.5 times the rent amount. This ratio helps us verify your ability to manage rent payments alongside other living expenses. 4. FICO Score: While there is no specific minimum FICO score, we do take it into account when evaluating your financial health. A higher score indicates a history of responsible credit management. 5. NSF/Late Payments & Landlord Disputes: We look into your rental history to ensure that there are no frequent NSF (non-sufficient funds) or late payments, and that there are no unresolved disputes with previous landlords. Please note that all application charges are non-refundable, and every occupant over the age of 18 must submit a separate application. Our scoring system ranges from 0 to 21, with 15 being the lowest acceptable score. All approvals or denials are ultimately decided by the property owner. We do not operate off a first come first serve basis, so if you are curious about the status of applications prior to applying, please don’t hesitate to call our office! By using our screening score sheet, we aim to create a rental environment where both tenants and property owners can thrive. This score sheet can be found on our site, under the Before You Apply Manual, as well as under “Rental Resources”.
