Sullivan Square is a mixed-income, mixed-use development with 1.8
million square feet of residential space and 317,000 square feet
of commercial space. The project includes brownstones, terraces,
high-rise condominiums, lofts, live/work spaces, two office buildings,
retail space, and a central park. It is registered under the LEED
for New Construction rating system with the goal of achieving a
LEED Silver rating. Sullivan Square will be one of the only residential
projects in Las Vegas to reclaim 100% of the water its residents
use (greywater and blackwater); the reclaimed water will be used
for everything from landscaping to cooling systems. The net result
will be an annual water savings of 45 million gallons per year.
The site design exceeds the local zoning open space requirement
of 7 acres by providing over 12 acres of vegetated open space for
the residents' use. Sullivan Square is located near bus lines so
residents can use public transit. To reduce the "heat island"
effect, Sullivan Square will have a vegetated/garden roof in combination
with a white "cool" roof. Over 35% of electricity use
will be provided by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
The use of materials with recycled content will include steel framing,
steel reinforcing bars, concrete, carpets, substrates, acoustical
tile, metal fabrications, furniture, and landscape materials and
furnishings. Low-emitting materials will also be used, including
the composite wood used for the millwork, cabinetry, and interior
doors, which will not contain resins made of urea-formaldehyde.
