Location
The Site
Auris at Nellis is proposed for a 2.35-acre parcel on South Nellis Boulevard in the heart of Las Vegas — a high-traffic arterial corridor with direct bus service and walkable access to employment, services, and schools. The site sits directly adjacent to Ullom Elementary School, a brand new Clark County School District campus, making Auris at Nellis one of the most family-accessible workforce housing locations in the Las Vegas Valley.

Partnership
A Faith-Based Community Partnership
Auris at Nellis is being developed in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada, which has proposed contributing the 2.35-acre site via ground lease as part of a community-focused development agreement. The Episcopal Diocese of Nevada operates 28 churches across the state and has a deep commitment to economic justice and community uplift in the Las Vegas Valley.
This partnership brings several structural advantages to the project: a nonprofit Co-General Partner relationship that satisfies NHD LIHTC application requirements, a community anchor that strengthens the competitive LIHTC application scoring, and a land contribution structure that reduces acquisition costs and improves the overall capital stack.
A formal site walk is scheduled for August 2026 and partnership terms are actively being finalized. SmartPlex is targeting a 2027 NHD 9% LIHTC application cycle submission.
Partnership terms are currently under negotiation. Site control has not yet been secured. This page reflects the current status of active pre-development discussions.
Product
The Auris Communities Product
Every unit at Auris at Nellis will be built to the same standard as all Auris Communities developments — a market-rate product experience delivered at workforce rents.
Private Entrances
Every unit has its own front door. No shared hallways. No apartment-building feel.
Individual Backyards
Private outdoor space for every unit — a feature found almost nowhere in affordable housing.
Tuck-Under Parking
Ground-floor parking integrated into the structure. One space per unit, protected and accessible.
SmartRent IoT
Smart locks, leak detection, connected thermostats, and Nest AI thermostat standard in every unit.
ZERH Certified
Zero Energy Ready Home certification across all 48 units. Lower utility bills for residents.
Upward Mobility Initiative
Credit reporting, financial literacy, and a structured homebuyer pipeline built into every Auris community.
Resident Services
The Upward Mobility Initiative
Auris at Nellis will deliver the full SmartPlex Upward Mobility Initiative from day one — partnering with Pro Recovery Credit Repair, Americana Home Loans, Nevada Partners, and The Monarch Advisory Group to create a structured pathway from workforce rental housing to homeownership for every resident who is ready to take that step.
Learn More About the InitiativeCommunity
A Community Anchor
St. Matthew's Episcopal Church has served the South Nellis Boulevard corridor since 1989, offering English and Spanish-language services and active Hispanic ministry to the surrounding neighborhood. The Auris at Nellis development will build on that community foundation — serving the same working families that St. Matthew's has supported for decades, and delivering the Upward Mobility Initiative programming through the established community relationships the Diocese has built over more than 35 years.
