Orrock, president, Las Vegas Region, The Howard Hughes Corp. “Summerlin resonates with people and businesses seeking a premium office environment, one with easy access to major freeways as well as to Downtown Summerlin, as people seek workplaces closer to home with unparalleled and abundant amenities .”
