He isn’t the only one developing a mixed-use project in Southern Nevada.
Sorge, who also developed luxury apartment complex Evo and sold it shortly before the pandemic hit for more than $100 million, expects to finish Evora in five years. Joe Sorge, who founded a company that produced gene analysis and cell biology products, and who boasts an executive producer’s credit for “Workin’ Moms,” a comedy show on Netflix, is building Evora, a 42-acre project on Buffalo Drive between Post Road and Patrick Lane.Ĭonstruction is underway on the project, which calls for 1,343 apartments, 240,000 square feet of commercial space and, rare for Las Vegas, underground parking. Now, an unlikely developer is building a mixed-use campus in the southwest valley that is slated to feature apartments, office space, and eateries - and cost upward of $500 million. What’s now Downtown Summerlin was left as a partially built project off the side of the highway for years, and what’s now The Gramercy was an abandoned construction site surrounded by barbed wire-topped fencing. Town Square Las Vegas and The District at Green Valley Ranch went into foreclosure. Like countless other projects in Southern Nevada, mixed-use developments ran into big problems after the economy crashed a decade or so ago. Developer Joe Sorge is building a 42-acre mixed-use project called Evora, a rendering of which is seen here, in the southwest Las Vegas Valley.
