It is located east of the Green Valley Ranch hotel-casino, and includes retail, restaurant, office, and residential space.

The District was hurt financially due to the Great Recession, and American Nevada eventually sold it to lenders in 2011.

The District is split across two parcels, which are divided by South Green Valley Parkway and were developed as separate phases.

[1][2] Plans for the resort were underway in 1996, along with a proposed mixed-use center on adjacent property that would include restaurant, retail, medical, and office space.

[3][4] The Green Valley Ranch hotel-casino opened in December 2001, and American Nevada announced that it would proceed with plans for an urban village, to be built on 30 vacant acres located east of the resort.

[5] The project, known as The Shops at Green Valley Ranch, received final city approval in December 2002.

[11][13] The District opened on April 15, 2004,[14][9][15] as the Las Vegas Valley's first mixed-use project, predating Town Square (2007) and Downtown Summerlin (2014).

[1][26][27] The District was negatively affected by the Great Recession, and a loan on the project was put into default in 2009, in an attempt to restructure its debt.

[33] American Nevada ended its managerial role following the sale, and business subsequently increased,[34] with more than 20 new tenants being added over the next four years.

It would include 45 angled parking spaces and would lead straight to the Green Valley Ranch resort.

Some businesses located along the walkway had struggled to attract customers, whereas a road would provide quick and easy access.

[41][42] American Nevada retains ownership of a vacant two-acre lot on the north side of the first-phase parcel.

In 2020, the company announced plans to eventually build more restaurant, retail and office space on the site.
