When most people picture Las Vegas, they envision the Strip. However, locals know there's more to the city. Just a few miles north, downtown has transformed over the last decade into a vibrant working district. It boasts its own restaurants, galleries, and a lively daytime population.
This area is still evolving. If you're considering buying a home near downtown, particularly at Five Points, read on to discover what this means for you.
Downtown: A Hub of Work and Life
Many outsiders miss this crucial detail. Downtown is not just a nightlife hotspot; it’s a thriving working district filled with daytime activity.
The Regional Justice Center anchors a bustling legal community. Here, attorneys, court staff, paralegals, and firms come together. Zappos, the online retail giant, chose this area for its headquarters in 2013, revitalizing the urban core. Add in business owners, entertainers, and a substantial gig workforce, and you have a neighborhood buzzing with energy.
Yet, many who work here commute from elsewhere. This has been a persistent issue. While downtown is alive with activity, housing options remain limited. Most existing homes are older and often zoned for commercial use. For those wanting to own a home close to their workplace, choices have been scarce.
The Benefits of Proximity
Let’s clarify what living near downtown really means. It places you minutes away from freeway access, the Arts District, the Fremont Street Experience, and a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops that have emerged over the past decade. For anyone working in the downtown corridor, it translates to a quick commute instead of being stuck in traffic.
However, it’s important to note that downtown is not yet a fully connected pedestrian neighborhood like those found in established urban areas.
That’s changing, and housing plays a pivotal role in this transformation. Districts become walkable when enough residents support the businesses in between. Downtown has spent years adding attractions; now, it needs full-time residents. Every new home contributes to this vision, and we’re excited to be part of it.
Who Benefits from Downtown Living?
Homebuyers in downtown typically fall into several categories:
Professionals: Those who work downtown—legal professionals, business owners, corporate employees, performers, and gig workers—prefer a short commute.
Culture Seekers: Buyers who desire easy access to downtown's entertainment, food, and culture without the hassle of a long drive or expensive rideshare.
Downsizers: Individuals looking to maintain a smaller home without the burden of a large yard, freeing up time for leisure activities.
Second-Home Buyers: Those seeking low-maintenance properties with secure parking for their lock-and-leave lifestyle.
Investors: Buyers looking for new construction in an area where it is scarce, comfortable with being early in a developing neighborhood.
Learning from Other Cities
Cities like Austin, Nashville, Denver, and Seattle have long embraced downtown living. The appeal lies in the short commute, proximity to food and culture, and the vibrant energy of a connected community.
Las Vegas, however, developed differently. It expanded outward into master-planned communities, making downtown a place to visit rather than live. This wasn’t a failure; it was simply the city's evolution.
Now, all the ingredients for a thriving downtown are in place. The restaurants, galleries, and weekday workforce are here. What has been missing is the residential density that fosters a sense of community and connection.
That’s where we come in!
Introducing Foundry Square at Five Points

(The images here are artist's renderings. As with any new construction, final materials and finishes may evolve as the homes are built.)
A Historic Intersection
Nearly 100 years ago, construction began on the Hoover Dam, showcasing the building spirit of Nevadans. In 1931, Las Vegas constructed a road to facilitate the movement of workers and materials to the Hoover Dam site. This road, Boulder Highway, starts where Fremont Street, Eastern Avenue, and Charleston Boulevard converge, creating the iconic Five Points intersection.
For generations, "Five Points" has been a defining crossroads in Las Vegas. Foundry Square, Lofts by Trust Home Builders, sits at this historic convergence, honoring the forges and foundries that contributed to the Silver State's legacy. Trust Home Builders is committed to transforming this long-stalled site into something remarkable.
Unique Design and Features
Foundry Square at Five Points is a gated townhome community featuring:
Two- and three-bedroom floor plans
Vaulted ceilings and large windows for natural light
Attached two-car garages
Fireplaces
Elevated contemporary finishes
Two outdoor spaces: a balcony and a private enclosed yard
What excites us most is the design. These homes will stand out in Las Vegas, a city dominated by stucco. Foundry Square will draw inspiration from industrial heritage, featuring brick exteriors with metal accents and gooseneck lighting reminiscent of the old mill and foundry era.
Our goal is to create a look you won’t find anywhere else in the valley, especially in this historic part of downtown.

The gated entry, attached garages, and enclosed yards are not just features; they are a thoughtful response to the current community dynamics. This project will provide defined edges, secure parking, and outdoor spaces in a district that is still developing.
Supporting the City’s Vision
Foundry Square is strategically located within the City of Las Vegas Redevelopment Area, right at its edge. Established in 1986, the Redevelopment Agency aims to revitalize downtown Las Vegas and rejuvenate aging corridors. Their mission is to eliminate blight and return underused properties to productive use.
Being at the forefront of this effort is crucial. Completing these homes will not just fill in behind existing revitalization; it will serve as a cornerstone, extending it outward.
We have collaborated with the city's Economic and Urban Development Department on this project. Their support has been invaluable, guiding us through the necessary approvals and facilitating the restart of this long-stalled site. They are enthusiastic about seeing this corner occupied and thriving as part of their overall revitalization plan.
Transforming a stalled site at a prominent downtown corner into vibrant homes aligns perfectly with the goals of redevelopment. Five Points deserves an anchor at that intersection, and we are proud to be building it!
Foundry Square at Five Points is set to debut in September 2026.
