FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 11, 2021
Cantor Fitzgerald, Silverstein Properties and TRU Development Company Break Ground on theAPEX @meadows Apartments
The 334-unit multifamily development will offer residents state-of-the-art amenities and close proximity to downtown Las Vegas.
Las Vegas – Today, Cantor Fitzgerald, Silverstein Properties, and TRU Development Company commenced construction on the theAPEX @meadows, located at 4480 Meadows Lane, with an official groundbreaking ceremony. Representatives from Cantor Fitzgerald, Silverstein Properties, TRU Development, and the City of Las Vegas commemorated the occasion with a formal speaker presentation and ceremonial shovel dig to mark the beginning of development.
“We are excited to participate in the development of this project and look forward to working closely with Las Vegas veterans TRU Development and our partners at Silverstein Properties,” said Howard Lutnick, chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald. “The project is pursuing Green Globes for New Construction certification which demonstrates our continued commitment to invest in quality real estate and support green initiatives wherever possible.”
The special ceremony began with an introduction from Tim Deters, CEO and President of TRU Development, who spoke about the project and its importance to the community. Additional speakers included Marty Burger, CEO, Silverstein Properties, Carolyn Goodman, Mayor of Las Vegas, and Karl Catarata, a representative from Councilman Knudsen’s office, representing Ward 1 for the City of Las Vegas.
“There will always be a need for quality rental housing in Las Vegas,” said Marty Burger, CEO of Silverstein Properties. “I previously developed over five million square feet in the Las Vegas market earlier in my career. I used to play basketball at the YMCA across the street from this site, it is a terrific location. I am thrilled to return to this part of Las Vegas, and excited to partner with TRU and Cantor Fitzgerald on this great project.”
Once complete, the five-story multifamily apartment development, built on nearly 10-acres, will feature 334 one-and two-bedroom units. Amenities will include a clubhouse, pool, roof top lounge, garage parking, a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, smart tech campus that controls common area access, the apartment unit door lock, thermostat, motion/door sensor and light switches on your smart device and multiple onsite recreation areas with an indoor gamer lounge, outdoor ping pong tables and multiple media centers, to name a few. The complex offers convenient transit accessibility to downtown Las Vegas and is adjacent to Meadows Mall, home to over 50 retail shops and restaurants.
“TRU Development was honored to be the selected local development partner to work alongside Cantor Fitzgerald and Silverstein Properties,” said Tim Deters, CEO and President of TRU Development. “As the premier multifamily developer in Las Vegas to practice and implement green sustainable construction methods, we knew that there was going to be great synergy shared on this project. In our experience, finding passionate partners who share in like-minded development strategies make for great communities.”
In recognition of sustainability efforts executed during the design and delivery process, theAPEX @meadows will seek Green Globes® for New Construction certification equivalent to 3 Globes. Pursuing this certification demonstrates the company’s commitment to current and future building operations best practices, occupant health and wellness, and reducing carbon emissions.
Administered by the Green Building Initiative (GBI), Green Globes is a nationally recognized green rating assessment and certification system that ensures projects meet clearly defined criteria in seven assessment areas: Project Management, Site, Energy, Water, Resources, Emissions, and Indoor Environment.
First move ins for the project are projected to be in the Spring of 2023. To learn more about the project, visit www.apexatmeadows.com.

Silverstein and TRU Development to Develop 334-Unit “Meadows Apartments” close to downtown Las Vegas and the Medical District
Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P., a leading global financial services firm and real estate investment company, and Silverstein Properties, a leading global full-service real estate development, investment and management firm, today announced the closing of their first multifamily development site in a qualified opportunity zone.
The Meadows Apartments is intended to be developed by Silverstein Properties and Las Vegas-based TRU Development as part of Cantor Fitzgerald and Silverstein Properties’ opportunity zone program. The site is located 15 minutes west of downtown Las Vegas and near the Medical District. The four-story development on nearly 10 acres will feature 334 one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities include a clubhouse, two pools, a state of the art fitness center, and multiple recreational areas. The location offers convenient transit accessibility to nearby downtown Las Vegas and is adjacent to Meadows Mall, home to over 50 retail shops including restaurants, department stores, clothing stores, specialty stores, and a grocery store.
Growth in the Las Vegas market has exceeded other U.S. markets for the last few years, with Clark County’s population increasing by more than 48,000 people between 2017 and 20181 — the second largest increase of any U.S. county. Apartment fundamentals in Las Vegas continue to improve as the workforce and population expand. Rents in the Las Vegas market grew 7.5% year-over-year—the second largest among the top 50 U.S. markets and the 21st consecutive quarter in which year-over-year rent growth in Las Vegas was at or above 4.5%.2
“Downtown Las Vegas is undergoing significant revitalization fueled by public-private development and commercial investment,” said Michael Lehrman, Senior Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald. “We are delighted to have this well-located parcel as our development project and to partner with Silverstein, a company with which we have a unique and long-standing relationship and a shared commitment to investing in communities and improving lives.”
Cantor Fitzgerald and Silverstein Properties have a well-established relationship. Notably, the two firms share a historical connection to the tragic events of 9/11 at the World Trade Center and played central roles in the recovery that followed. This project is a natural extension of the companies’ shared history, and underscores both firms’ commitment to rebuilding.
“The Las Vegas market is a great fit for Cantor Fitzgerald and Silverstein Properties. Continued job and population growth have contributed to demand for new multifamily housing,” said Marty Burger, Chief Executive Officer, Silverstein Properties. “Renters in the area, many of them medical professionals, have few options. Our project will offer first-rate residences near US 95 providing convenient access to transit around greater Las Vegas, and is walkable to local shopping, food, and entertainment. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2020.”
