What It Means for Queensridge and Surrounding Communities
Overview of the Redevelopment
The former Badlands Golf Course is set for a major transformation that will reshape the future of Queensridge and the surrounding area. Lennar Homes has announced plans to redevelop the 250-acre site at Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard into a thoughtfully designed master-planned community that blends new housing options with extensive open space and private amenities.
Project Overview
-
Location:
The development is situated on the former Badlands Golf Course site at Alta Drive and Rampart Boulevard, within the Queensridge area. -
Housing Plans:
Approximately 1,480 residential units are planned, comprising a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. Building heights will be capped at 45 feet, with no more than eight homes per acre. -
Community Features:
The master plan designates 98 acres for parks, landscaped trails, and recreational amenities. Private gated access, internal private streets, and a new homeowners association will help maintain community standards and privacy.
Legal History and Resolution
The Badlands site has been the subject of extensive legal disputes over several years. The original developer, EHB Cos., faced opposition from the city and neighboring homeowners when proposing redevelopment plans. Following multiple lawsuits, the City of Las Vegas reached a settlement with EHB, agreeing to pay $636 million. Subsequently, Lennar Homes entered into an agreement to purchase the property for $350 million.
Key outcomes of the resolution include:
-
Building height and density restrictions to align with community character
-
Preservation of existing Queensridge property improvements
-
No public streetlights on internal private roads
Next Steps
Although the Las Vegas City Council has approved the development plans, construction has not yet begun. Lennar Homes must still complete key pre-construction requirements, including traffic and drainage studies, and obtain necessary permits. The timeline for these activities has not yet been released, but updates are expected as the project moves forward.
