Symphony Park is a 61-acre site situated in downtown Las Vegas. The downtown area is located just a few miles north of the Las Vegas Strip and centrally within the Las Vegas Valley.

Once housing a Union Pacific rail yard, Symphony Park currently is being master developed for mixed-use by the city of Las Vegas, which is also the landowner. Symphony Park is home to the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts and the DISCOVERY Children’s Museum.

Surrounded by major developments, Symphony Park’s neighbors include the 5.1-million-square-foot World Market Center Las Vegas, the 175-store Las Vegas North Premium Outlets and the multistory Clark County Government Center.

Symphony Park is the only project in the state of Nevada to be accepted into a national pilot program for green neighborhood developments. Symphony Park was awarded gold certification under stage 2 of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development. (LEED®-ND)
