PulteGroup's Las Vegas Division Earns ULI Nevada Transformative Place Award for Aries Community

Years of vision and dedication are earning recognition for PulteGroup's Las Vegas Division. The division's Aries master-planned community in Henderson, Nevada, received the Transformative Place Award at the 2026 Urban Land Institute (ULI) Nevada Placemaking Awards for Excellence, recognizing the project's transformation of a neglected historic site into a new residential destination.

Spanning more than 1,100 acres on the site of a former mine, Aries represents an ambitious redevelopment effort to reclaim and repurpose a long-underutilized property into a vibrant new community. The revitalization was made possible through an extensive public-private partnership involving PulteGroup, the City of Henderson and other stakeholders, with environmental work overseen by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). Drawing on more than 75 years of homebuilding experience, PulteGroup is helping bring new life to the property and create a lasting destination for Henderson residents.

"Aries has been an extraordinary undertaking, and we're incredibly proud to see it recognized," said Ryan Breen, President of PulteGroup's Las Vegas Division. "This award is a testament to the dedication and creativity of our team and the many people who helped bring this vision to life. It's especially rewarding to see what we've accomplished together and know the impact Aries will have on Henderson for generations to come."

Designed as a multigenerational community with 24 planned neighborhoods, Aries will offer a variety of housing options alongside parks, trails and outdoor gathering spaces. The community's first completed park, Greenbow Park, opened in September 2026, with three additional parks planned to further encourage recreation and connection among residents.
