Case: Summerlin, Las Vegas Nevada (www.summerlin.com)*
Case Description
For this case, the Summerlin development in Las Vegas, Nevada will be used as the basis of your analysis. The objective is to first review the development and then choose a topic that interests you. Use Chapters 5 and 6 of the Ling and Archer text to guide your analysis. For example, from Chapter 6, you can use as example analysis that of the three developments: Elysian Forest, Palm Grove Office complex and Plane Vista Apartments. Use the information sources that are identified in these discussions to apply to Summerlin, such as population growth from the Census Bureau (www.census.gov).
The paper should be 7 to 10 pages, double spaced with margins not exceeding 0.7 inches. The page count does not include tables, charts and references. Use standard footnote and/or endnote formats and include fully identified references on a separate page(s).
The project is due on or before Wednesday, December 7, 2011. I will be happy to comment on your ideas and any preliminary drafts.
