Henderson, NV. (KXNT) – The City of Henderson has chosen Woodbury Corporation as the developer for the next phase of discussions regarding the former Fiesta Henderson site at Lake Mead Parkway and I-215.

Staff will present the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement to the Redevelopment Agency on Aug. 20.

Woodbury is a full-service real estate company with more than 100-year history of developing and managing properties in the Intermountain West region, including the Las Vegas valley for the last 45 years.

In September 2023, the City of Henderson hosted two open house sessions, in addition to online surveys, collecting input from residents and area businesses regarding amenities they’d like to have on the site. With more than 5,600 responses, the community feedback resulted in the following preferences:

• Indoor sports facility as a primary use
• Family-oriented entertainment and arts and culture as supporting uses
• Diverse array of public spaces, and a wide variety of options to support this site as a “destination”
• Strong desire for return on investment given the publicly funded nature of the site

The City purchased the 35-acre site in 2022 with plans to build a multi-use, indoor community sports facility and for other strategic developments to include amenities based on community feedback.
