Luxury condos rising near Durango casino in Las Vegas

A popular Las Vegas casino’s next-door neighbor is starting to take shape. Construction crews are building an upscale apartment complex along the curve of the 215 Beltway in the southwest valley. The Calida Group is developing the Ainsley-branded project next to the Durango hotel-casino.

The rental project’s prominent clubhouse facing Roy Horn Way has been framed, and other work is underway behind it.

Calida co-founder Eric Cohen said on Friday that the complex will have 388 units and that the first apartments are slated to be delivered in May 2027.

The project, just south of the Beltway near Durango Drive, is visible from the freeway and walking distance from Station Casinos’ newest resort in Las Vegas.

Station opened the Durango in late 2023. The property draws big crowds, and its owners have already been expanding the resort. In fall 2025, it unveiled plans for a $385 million expansion project that called for a bigger casino floor, 36-lane bowling alley, luxury movie theaters, entertainment venues, and new restaurant concepts.

Construction is underway.

Las Vegas-based Calida is one of the biggest apartment developers in Southern Nevada. The firm purchased its 13-acre project site next to the Durango in late 2024 for more than $18 million and broke ground on the project last year.

Calida has built numerous Elysian-branded projects in the Las Vegas Valley, but it also built an Ainsley apartment complex on Paradise Road just east of the Strip.

That property boasts a yoga and pilates studio, Himalayan salt cave, red-light therapy room, poolside cabanas and other amenities.

Calida has also set out to build an Ainsley-branded apartment complex along Rampart Boulevard just north of Alta Drive, behind the Tivoli Village retail-and-office complex.

The development of this new Ainsley-branded complex represents a significant step in the growth of the area. With its proximity to major highways, entertainment venues, and retail spaces, the project is expected to attract a wide range of residents looking for high-end living options in a prime location.

Key features of the project include:

• A spacious clubhouse with modern amenities
• A variety of unit sizes to accommodate different lifestyles
• Access to nearby dining, shopping, and entertainment options
• High-quality finishes and sustainable building practices

The timing of the project aligns with the ongoing development of the surrounding area. As the Durango hotel-casino continues to expand, the demand for housing in the vicinity is likely to increase. This new apartment complex is positioned to meet that demand while offering a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and luxury.

Calida’s track record in the region suggests that the project will be well-received. The company has a history of delivering high-quality residential developments that cater to the needs of modern residents. The Ainsley brand, in particular, has become synonymous with upscale living and innovative design.

As construction progresses, the project is expected to bring additional economic activity to the area. Local businesses may benefit from increased foot traffic, and the development could create job opportunities during both the construction phase and after the complex opens.

For those interested in learning more about the project or staying updated on its progress, there are several ways to get involved. Residents and potential renters can reach out directly to Calida or follow updates through local news outlets.

Overall, the new Ainsley-branded apartment complex represents a promising addition to the Las Vegas real estate landscape. With its strategic location, modern amenities, and strong developer backing, it is poised to become a desirable place to live for many.
