Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas

Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas is one of the newer Del Webb communities. Developed by Del Webb, this active adult community is located within the established master-planned community of Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada. The larger masterplan has been around for years, and the Del Webb team was excited when they got the opportunity to create a neighborhood within the masterplan while also wanting to create something new and fresh, so they could make their mark. The team collaborated with multiple partners including John Burns Real Estate Consulting to do consumer research and help create a new and fresh vision for the community that also worked within the larger Lake Las Vegas masterplan guidelines and vision.

Part of the new and fresh vision was to create a state-of-the-art, contemporary community. This more contemporary vision starts with the entry monumentation, which is grand, yet sleeker and more understated than monumentation from past Del Webb communities.

The entry monument and gatehouse set the stage for what to expect in the community. SHJ Studio designed the gatehouse, along with the entry monument and clubhouse. Note the clean lines and integration of metal and wood, as well as stone.

The community offers resort-style living with gated privacy. The gate continues the clean-lined contemporary feel of the entry.

The community, prior to grading, was a bowl. The team regraded the area, leveling hilltops to create the terraced current site that provides ample exposures throughout the community. Parts of the site were even raised 80 feet to capture views. Westwood Engineering collaborated with the team to create the site plan, grading plan, and do the entitlements to make all this possible.

SMP Landscape Architects designed the common area landscaping, model park landscaping, amenity landscaping, and trail system. The entry boulevard, which is lined with palm trees, continues the grand entry statement. The team integrated drought tolerant and native plantings to better fit with the surrounding desert landscape.

The amenity center is located at the top of a hill, just off the entry boulevard, which places it in the center of the community with easy access to most homes. The amenity center includes a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, two pools, and multiple sport courts.

The site overlooks nearby 300-acre Lake Las Vegas. The team created a land plan that orients the amenity center to take advantage of this view by building the area for the clubhouse up 80 feet to overlook the lake and take in the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

SHJ Studio designed the clubhouse. The state-of-the-art facility is done in a Napa modern style. Note the use of rustic stone, wood accents, and black-trimmed windows that bring the modern style to life while still integrating well with the surrounding desert landscape.

A half-circle drive paired with a covered entry creates a grand entry statement for the clubhouse, as well as allows residents to get dropped off near the front door for easy access.

The elegant entry statement continues inside the clubhouse with vaulted ceilings and an elegant light fixture near the welcome desk. As is typical with a Del Webb community, this desk is manned to help residents.

The great room brings on the wow factor with soaring, vaulting ceilings, and plentiful glass to take in the breathtaking view.

KTI, who was involved from the beginning of the project, did the architectural detailing and FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) of the clubhouse, bringing a luxurious yet comfortable feel to the different spaces. Note the attention to detail and integration of natural materials.

The great room also includes a BYOB bar, which provides additional casual seating or a spot to support catering or entertaining for events and functions.

The clubhouse also includes multiple gathering areas beyond the great room like the billiards room with a pool table and TVs. This space provides a place to play, as well as offers an alternative to the great room for gatherings. Nearby seating provides a spot for visitors to rest between games or watch TV. The unique accent wall and ceiling detail add interest to the space.

The flex room is a perfect addition for games or club meetings. Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas has a group or class for every interest including art clubs and hobbies. As is typical with a Del Webb community, It has a lifestyle director who coordinates the clubs and plans events.

Multiple windows flood the fitness center with light while the vaulted ceiling makes the space feel bigger than it already is. The fitness center provides an air-conditioned and well-outfitted place for residents to work out. Its location within the clubhouse building allows residents to take in the views of the nearby lake and surrounding mountains.

Fitness opportunities continue with the fitness studio, which can accommodate classes with instructors or even fitness-on-demand for those who want to do a class on their own or off hours.

The locker rooms have a spa-like feel with the stylish sink area and wood lockers. This space supports residents needs both pre- and post-workout.

The clubhouse also includes a generously sized event space that can function as one large room as seen here or be broken up into two spaces as the need arises. This space is used for community events but can also be rented out by residents for private functions.

The rear of the clubhouse has as much architectural interest as the front with dramatic roofline shifts and plentiful windows to take in the views.

The clubhouse includes multiple outdoor gathering areas both covered and uncovered. According to NHTI’s 2021 Master Plan Trend report, one of the big trends is a pivot to open air. Both costs savings and consumer preferences are supporting the shift to smaller clubhouses with more outdoor connection. This clubhouse is a notable example of this trend.

The variety of seating can accommodate any kind of weather from the desert heat to a rainy day. It also provides the opportunity for multiple groups to gather and have their own space.

Another trend highlighted in NHTI’s 2021 Master Plan Trend report is serendipitous socialization. Informal “connection nodes” that offer opportunities for casual encounters are replacing programmed socialization centers. The multiple gathering opportunities inside and outside of the clubhouse highlight great examples of this trend. NHTI is also seeing the trend of multiple connection nodes continue into the private realm and into homes.

It’s all about the view. As mentioned before, the team regraded the site to maximize the view opportunities including the view from the clubhouse. As can be seen, the effort was well worth it.

Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas

The community includes two pools: a resort-style pool and a lap pool, along with a spa. While in close proximity, each pool has its own feel and surrounding seating area.

Several rows of palm trees provide shade and function as lighting posts at night.

While the resort pool is setup for lounging, the lap pool provides an opportunity for fitness.

The pool deck enjoys the view too, overlooking Lake Las Vegas, Lake Mead, and surrounding vistas.

A shaded area by the pool provides another informal gathering opportunity out of the desert heat.

SMP Landscape Architects designed the trails with solid paved surfaces and aesthetically pleasing, contemporary lighting.

The trails help to connect the different parts of the community as well as provide an opportunity for outdoor fitness.

SMP Landscape Architects brought the rock seen around the clubhouse and entry into other areas of the landscaping, which creates a cohesive look and helps it connect with the surrounding desert landscape.

Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas

Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas includes great housing options beyond the beautiful amenities. The community offers three collections designed for the active adult buyer with homes ranging from 1,580 to 2,700 square feet. The three collections allow the community to appeal to a range of buyers looking for primary or secondary homes or those looking for different price points and sizes. DesignLens previously featured the largest collection back in November 2020. Check out Del Webb at Lake Las Vegas, Collection III.
