shareWESTSIDE Opens in Las Vegas’ Historic Westside

The Historic Westside just marked a major milestone with the grand opening of shareWESTSIDE, a new five-story apartment building located at the corner of D Street and Jefferson Avenue in Las Vegas. Developed by Cherry Development, the project officially celebrated its ribbon-cutting on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, with hundreds of community members in attendance.

This is a meaningful project because the Historic Westside is not just another Las Vegas neighborhood. It is one of the city’s most culturally important areas, with deep history, long-standing families, and a strong community identity. That is why a project like shareWESTSIDE matters — it brings new housing and modern amenities while also trying to reflect the people, history, and culture of the neighborhood.

The building includes 104 one-bedroom apartments, each measuring about 580 square feet, with rents starting at $1,275 per month. Inside the units, residents get modern finishes like quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a smart all-in-one washer and dryer. For people looking for newer apartment living near downtown Las Vegas, this gives the Historic Westside a fresh housing option.

A few key features of shareWESTSIDE include:

The amenity package is also designed to create community, not just provide a place to sleep. Residents have access to a co-working space with free WiFi, a public hospitality area with a food prep station and community dining, a private movie viewing room, an enhanced fitness center, and secured surface parking. That kind of shared space can help make the building feel more connected and livable.

One of the things I like most about this project is that Cherry Development has positioned it as a partnership with the Historic Westside community. CEO Sam Cherry said community has been at the heart of the prior shareDOWNTOWN projects in the Arts District and Fremont East, and that shareWESTSIDE was developed in partnership with the Historic Westside. That matters because new development in historic neighborhoods should feel connected to the community, not separate from it.

The grand opening also drew major local and state attention, with Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo and Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley attending the ribbon-cutting. That level of attention shows how significant this project is being viewed for the area. It has been described as one of the most significant private investment projects in the Historic Westside in decades.

My take is this: shareWESTSIDE is an important addition to the Historic Westside because it brings new housing, modern amenities, and renewed investment to a neighborhood that has helped shape Las Vegas history. For residents, it offers a new place to live near downtown. For the community, it signals continued attention and investment in one of the city’s most important cultural neighborhoods.
