UnCommons, Matter Real Estate Group‘s highly anticipated $400 million, 40-acre mixed-use community in southwest Las Vegas, has announced that 100% of the development’s coveted office spaces in its first phase have been leased. The milestone comes ahead of the project’s opening this summer.

“The demand for quality, inspired office space is at an all-time high in Las Vegas, which was evident when a number of our future tenants signed their leases in the early stages of construction,” said Matter Real Estate Group Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Tom van Betten. “We are thrilled to bring a diverse collection of globally-renowned tenants to UnCommons and provide them with a dynamic, thoughtfully created workplace.”

Fulfilling a need for office space, dining and lifestyle amenities within the booming southwest Las Vegas market, UnCommons will welcome a variety of discerning tenants to its bustling community. DraftKings, a leader in the digital sports entertainment and gaming industries, will occupy a 90,000-square-foot technology hub; Morgan Stanley, a multinational investment bank and financial service company, will consolidate its current central and west Las Vegas locations into a 22,000-square-foot office; CBRE, the global leader in commercial real estate, will move its Las Vegas office to a 20,000-square-foot space; BDO, an international leader in assurance, tax and financial advisory services, will relocate its Las Vegas headquarters to a spacious 15,000-square-foot space; Sotheby’s International Realty, a global real estate leader, will make UnCommons its new home with a highly-visible 13,000-square-foot ground floor suite; and Berkadia, a leader in the commercial real estate finance industry which will occupy a 1,600-square-foot office.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the development underwent a redesign integrating health and safety features set by the WELL Building Standard™. They include near hospital-quality HVAC systems, operable windows and patios, touch-free access, abundant natural daylight and interior finishes made with materials to limit the spread of bacteria. WELL Certification™ is the highest third-party endorsement of a building’s performance and the health of its occupants. UnCommons is also certified by Green Globes®, a nationally recognized green rating assessment, guidance and certification program. The revolutionary program recognizes sustainability goals for new construction projects, existing buildings and interiors to encourage improved environmental and health performance while reducing environmental impacts.

Phase II of UnCommons, which has recently broken ground, will also add two four-story office buildings totaling 180,000 square feet, featuring 20,000 to 25,000 square feet floor plates available for lease. These additional buildings will have connected patio balconies, allowing for the option for companies to connect their spaces with “super floors” that are up to 45,000 square feet. Phase II will also deliver an additional parking structure featuring nearly 750 parking stalls for community members and visitors.

In addition to its renowned office tenants, UnCommons’ emphasis on employee wellbeing and focus on community connection has attracted beloved brands and leaders in the culinary and beverage industry. The community will introduce an eclectic portfolio of onsite food and beverage options, which will include Las Vegas’ first neighborhood food hall, the first off-Strip Urth Caffé in Las Vegas and MINA Group’s first off-Strip, fast-casual restaurant concept, plus many more to be announced soon. Bringing together its lineup of food and beverage destinations, open-air common areas, fitness studios, a salon and an entertainment center, UnCommons will set the foundation for a thriving, inspiring workplace.

UnCommons is reimagining the workplace experience with market-leading design and technology, floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome daylight and views of the natural Las Vegas surroundings and breakout spaces for individual work or small group collaboration. Phase II of UnCommons’ construction is officially underway, which will bring UnCommons to more than 325,000 total square feet of modern office space, all built with distinctive architectural features and the latest in safety innovations. The final phase will bring the project to a total of 500,000 square feet of office space and is focused on occupying a single tenant for all 130,000 square feet of the fifth office building.

A local favorite known for its flavorful Japanese street fare, GYU+ will be coming to southwest Las Vegas as part of the diverse dining lineup at UnCommons. Opening late summer at Matter Real Estate Group’s highly anticipated $400 million, 40-acre mixed-use community, GYU+ will serve a variety of sensational Japanese sandwiches, also known as sandos, and rice boxes.

Inspired to bring this concept to life after spending time in Japan, founders Freddie Paloma and Luis De Santos launched the first GYU+ in Las Vegas serving to-go orders only out of a ghost kitchen during the height of the pandemic in early 2021. The two believed there was a need for delivery and pickup and a ghost kitchen was the ideal first step for GYU+. This will be the first brick and mortar space for GYU+, which embraces classic Japanese street fare including Japanese sandos made with Japanese Wagyu beef, steak, eggs and portobello mushrooms; and rice boxes featuring pork belly, fresh vegetables and more. Additionally, GYU+ will be expanding its menu at UnCommons with breakfast sandos and a variety of Japanese sake, beers and wines.

“We’re excited to open our first dedicated/brick-and-mortar location at UnCommons,” said Paloma and De Santos. “This location will celebrate Japanese cuisine and culture based on authentic experiences one you could find while traveling throughout Japan.”

Paloma and De Santos have engaged award-winning architectural firm, Punch Arc, to design GYU+. The interior will feature Japanese-inspired art, such as a vibrant mural of a cherry blossoms as well as other Japanese imagery, created by a local artist, in addition to a live bonsai tree in front of the mural. The fast casual eatery will offer countertop seating and tables in the main seating area to accommodate grab and go orders.

“GYU+ became an immediate hit in southeast Las Vegas, where they typically sell out every day with to-go orders alone,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “With the incredible addition of GYU+, our off-Strip community will house a celebration of globally inspired flavors from numerous Strip-quality restaurants.”

GYU+ will join a sensational lineup of food and beverage destinations at UnCommons, including Las Vegas’ first neighborhood food hall; immersive tiki tequilería, Todo Bien; elevated sports lounge, General Admission; Cuban-inspired neighborhood bodega, Mercadito; beloved boba tea shop, Teaspoon; heirloom coffee roaster and pioneer, Urth Caffé; and MINA Group’s first off-Strip, fast-casual restaurant, plus many more to be announced soon.

Las Vegas’ first SunLife Organics is set to open this summer at UnCommons, a $400 million, 40-acre mixed-use community by Matter Real Estate Group. The cult-favorite, health-centric eatery will bring a taste of Southern California with its organic superfood bowls, smoothies, and cold-pressed juices.

Hailing from Malibu, SunLife not only provides more than nourishment through its mindfully curated menu, but also brings a deeper perspective on health and positivity to the community. Founded by Khalil Rafati in 2011, SunLife is committed to serving Las Vegas with the highest quality organic ingredients that Mother Nature offers.

“Whether it is our loyal customers or our dedicated employees, SunLife Organics is about physical, mental and spiritual growth,” said Rafati. “This is something we have committed to since we started SunLife. Ever since I began my journey to better myself, we have embedded the same ideals into our company culture.”

SunLife Organics provides an alternative take to a modern-day juice bar. Designed by a feng shui master, each location incorporates crystals and geodes – some standing over seven feet tall – throughout the space that Rafati has collected throughout his travels. Because of this unique layout, seating is located entirely outside the juice bar, at handcrafted oversized picnic tables in a secluded courtyard.

SunLife Organics’ drinks are made with the highest quality organic ingredients. This is highlighted in menu items such as the “Wolverine” which is made with banana, raw almond butter, Medjool dates, maca, bee pollen, raw cacao nibs, raw coconut butter, royal jelly, and almond milk. The juice bar will also serve fruit and protein bowls, including the Bliss Bowl made with blended açaí, banana, blueberries, cashew butter, and hemp milk topped with superfood trail mix and bananas almond butter, coconut shreds, and honey; and the Dragon Bowl made with blended dragon fruit, raspberry, mango, and hemp milk topped with granola, strawberry, blueberry, and coconut shreds.

A former addict, Rafati has spoken out on how he suffered from depression and the side effects of an unhealthy diet despite becoming sober. He credits a diet of whole organic foods, juicing and natural remedies to help him overcome his addictions and change his life. Since his recovery, Rafati has traveled worldwide, searching for the best ingredients the world offers. His search has brought him to some of the most exotic places on earth including Japan, Indonesia, Central America, India and more. Rafati emphasizes helping those living in the surrounding community, with each location providing young adults a safe and sober atmosphere for everyone to live, grow and thrive in the world.

“We have long been familiar with SunLife Organics and their impact in every community they serve,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “Their culture and commitment to a healthy, balanced lifestyle are the perfect fit for UnCommons and we look forward to welcoming them this summer.”

SunLife Organics will join a stellar lineup of food and beverage destinations at UnCommons, including Las Vegas’ first neighborhood food hall; Cuban-inspired neighborhood bodega, Mercadito; beloved boba tea shop, Teaspoon; heirloom coffee roaster and pioneer, Urth Caffé; and MINA Group’s first off-Strip, fast-casual restaurant, plus many more to be announced soon.

The second commercial phase of UnCommons, Matter Real Estate Group’s much-anticipated $400 million, 40-acre mixed-use community coming to southwest Las Vegas, is now under construction. Phase II will bring to the campus a state-of-the-art conference center, two coveted office buildings and an additional parking garage with ample stalls. The construction is expected to be completed by summer 2023.

“The start of UnCommons’ second phase builds upon the remarkable progress that has been made since we broke ground last year,” said Matter Real Estate Group VP of Strategic Partnerships Tom van Betten. “We continue to experience demand for high-quality, connected workspaces in southern Nevada, and the addition of these next two buildings will provide a favorable option for the area’s leading businesses.”

A notable addition coming with Phase II will be “The Assembly,” an innovative 5,000-square-foot conference center. What will be a contemporary venue for meetings and events with a keen sense for collaboration, the space will provide flexibility in the size and shape for all types of indoor and outdoor events. Designed to hold meetings from 10 to 250 people, The Assembly will also offer catering from exclusive restaurateurs located in UnCommons.

Phase II of UnCommons will also add two four-story office buildings totaling 180,000 square feet, featuring 20,000 to 25,000 square feet floor plates available for lease. These additional buildings will have connected patio balconies, allowing for the option for companies to enhance their spaces with “super floors” that are up to 45,000 square feet. Phase II will also deliver an additional parking structure featuring nearly 750 parking stalls for community members and visitors.

Several industry leaders have committed to move into the sought-after spaces within UnCommons’ Phase I office buildings beginning early summer, including CBRE, Morgan Stanley, BDO and Sotheby’s International Realty. DraftKings also announced late last year that it will occupy 90,000 square feet within UnCommons, for what will serve as the North America headquarters for the digital sports entertainment and gaming leader.

Phase II will bring UnCommons to more than 335,000 square feet of modern office space built with distinctive architectural features, the latest safety innovations, and a conference center that can host small meetings and workshops. Once the construction of the second and third phases has been completed, UnCommons will have a total of five office buildings and four parking garages.

UnCommons will be the first development in Nevada built to WELL™ Certification, the highest third-party endorsement of a building’s performance and protection of employee health. Features include near hospital-quality HVAC systems, operable windows and patios, touch-free access, abundant natural daylight, and interior finishes made with materials to limit the spread of bacteria. Additionally, UnCommons was recently awarded two Green Globes®, a nationally recognized green rating assessment, guidance and certification program, for its sustainability efforts.

UnCommons will reimagine the workplace experience with market-leading design and technology, floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome daylight and views of the natural Las Vegas surroundings, breakout spaces for individual work or small group collaboration. The campus will set the foundation for a thriving, inspiring workplace by bringing together multiple fitness studios, common open-air areas, contemporary residential units, and a mélange of food and beverage options.

General Admission will welcome sports fans in southwest Las Vegas with a fall opening at UnCommons, Matter Real Estate Group’s highly-anticipated $400 million, 40-acre mixed-use community. The elevated sports lounge will combine electrifying live entertainment, a chef-driven menu, thrilling events and sports viewing within an upscale atmosphere.

General Admission will feature 180 seats within 4,650 square feet of chic dining, bar, and lounge space, plus 1,900 square feet of patio space. With more than 30 televisions throughout the venue ranging from 55-inch to 98-inch, a 40-foot-long bar, plus firepits and skills gaming on the patio, General Admission will offer an elevated experience that redefines the standard expectations of a sports bar.

“General Admission will unite the interrelated worlds of modern hospitality and sports viewing to provide a best-in-class experience for Las Vegas locals,” said Bryan Whitford, co-owner and managing partner of General Admission. “We’re dedicated to redefining the standard of what it means to be an off-Strip sports bar and showing guests don’t have to make sacrifices through high-quality experiences rich in detail and originality.”

Conceptualized by Los Angeles-based brothers Kamran and Kourosh Pourkazemi and brought to southern Nevada by Whitford, a Las Vegas hospitality veteran, the upscale sports venue will embrace classic sports bar fare with a highly curated, chef-driven approach to its menu. The lounge will serve tapas-style appetizers, fresh seafood, dry-aged steaks, traditional dessert items, and a vast draft beer, whiskey, and tequila selection.

“As the home to DraftKings’ Las Vegas headquarters we sought to bring in a concept that redefines what it means to be a sports bar,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “General Admission will more than deliver as a destination that enhances the sports viewing, drinking and dining experience through chef-driven cuisine, a fun, highly social vibe and a packed entertainment lineup.”

UnCommons will reimagine the workplace experience with market-leading design and technology, floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome daylight and views of the natural Las Vegas surroundings, breakout spaces for individual work or small group collaboration. The campus will set the foundation for a thriving, inspiring workplace by bringing together multiple fitness studios, common open-air areas, contemporary residential units, and a mélange of food and beverage options. Future phases will bring UnCommons to more than 500,000 square feet of modern office space built with distinctive architectural features, the latest safety innovations, and a conference center that can host small meetings and workshops.
