AREA15 developer proposes NBA arena near Palace Station

Fisher Brothers, the developer behind AREA15, has proposed an NBA arena on land between AREA15 and Palace Station, just west of Interstate 15. The firm wants to partner with a Las Vegas NBA expansion bid group, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

CEO Winston Fisher told the newspaper that the arena would initially target 18,000 to 20,000 seats, with the size open to change based on a partner’s needs. Restaurants, shops and other entertainment would surround it, extending the campus’s activity beyond game nights.

The developer’s own AREA15 portfolio page describes 30 operational acres and another 50 acres available for expansion. Its broader plans include residential, hospitality, cultural and sports uses.

The Review-Journal reports that Fisher Brothers has submitted its proposal to the NBA and spoken with prospective bid groups. This remains a developer’s proposal; it does not establish an approved arena, construction schedule or confirmed Las Vegas NBA team.
