Grant Sawyer Building Demolition Begins | Las Vegas News

The Grant Sawyer government building in Las Vegas is finally coming down—demolition began July 23, 2026, making way for a new affordable housing project. Once plagued by sewage leaks and mold, the 1995 structure was deemed too costly to renovate at $475 million, so the state sold the land to Lennar Corporation for $213 million. Lennar will handle demolition and all costs, expecting the site cleared in 12 weeks, with homes ready for sale in about two years. This move is part of a larger downtown revitalization effort, blending efficient government spaces with much-needed housing, thanks to a state-city partnership. The future of the adjacent Cashman Center remains uncertain, but the focus is squarely on progress. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
