Formerly a Travelodge motel built in the 1960s, this village contains 56 single apartments. Each unit contains an individual cooking area, a full bathroom, living/sitting area, and is fully equipped with airconditioning and heating of all units.

We pioneered the re-purpose and recycling of motels in Southern Nevada and many others have begun to follow suit. This is an under-utilized resource of otherwise disposable architecture that needs to be and can be replicated in any city in America.

It’s a very simple and modest layout that worked in the 1960s and still works today.

We highly encourage the replication of this model throughout the state of Nevada and across the United States. There is a plethora of underperforming motels in the U.S. and it’s an ideal opportunity to fill these residences with people in need that are transitioning to permanent housing situations.
