Las Vegas Art Museum advances permits; park workshop and multiple leasing timelines reported

City Parkway 5 staff updated the board on multiple project milestones, saying the Las Vegas Art Museum is moving forward with building permits and near-final plans for office and media-lab space in the Promenade garage.

Raven Cole, management analyst with economic and urban development, told the board the museum met a new landscape architect this week to discuss integrating artwork security with the site landscaping and that staff hope to place a related contract on the July City Council agenda. Cole said the museum is "working on their permits for the main building" and is close to finalizing interior plans for the Promenade garage at Grand Central Parkway and Robin Leach Lane.

Cole said the city will hold a Donald W. Reynolds Park update and a workshop on March 25 with the Smith Center, the Las Vegas Art Museum, Symphony Park Master Association members, Councilwoman Summers-Armstrong and city leadership to discuss potential park updates and the museum's sculpture-park plans. She said, to comply with CP5 disclosures, the Smith Center must submit any plans to the Symphony Park Design Review Committee and the Symphony Park Master Association for approval.

On residential progress, Cole reported the Sutherlands mid-rise project will begin leasing in the next week or two with new residents expected to move in by May; the Capella development is expected to begin leasing in June or July with move-ins in August. Cole also said Parcel E is scheduled to close on or before Aug. 16 and that the Panther Acquisition medical office building is working on permits.

The report supplied timeline and permitting details but required no board action at the meeting. The chair thanked staff and closed the item.
