Historic Westside Entrepreneurial Center Breaks Ground

MYS Firm, in partnership with the City of Las Vegas, broke ground on a new commercial office building and entrepreneurial training center in the Historic Westside. As part of the project, the city entered into a development agreement with MYS Firm and provided incentives through the land sale. Expected to open in summer 2027, the approximately 4,000-square-foot development will feature offices and flexible training space designed to help small businesses launch and grow. 

“I’m excited to welcome more workers into the Historic Westside as part of a new office building from MYS Firm,” Mayor Shelley Berkley said. “The Historic Westside offers opportunity and is a dynamic area of our city for new projects.” 

“Through the HUNDRED Plan in Action we continue to create opportunity in the Historic Westside,” Ward 5 Councilwoman Shondra Summers-Armstrong said. “I want to thank MYS Firm for choosing to locate this new office building in Ward 5 and the team from Sumnu Marketing for using the building as its home base moving forward.” 

“This building represents a meaningful investment in the Historic Westside and in the entrepreneurs who will help shape its future,” said Myisha Boyce, President of MYS Firm. 

“Through a strategic partnership with Sumnu Marketing, we aim to create a hub where small businesses and emerging entrepreneurs can access resources, training and collaboration opportunities that lead to long-term success.” 

The development will house a 1,447-square-foot entrepreneurial training center for classes, workshops, meetings and community events, along with office space for MYS Firm, Sumnu Marketing and other businesses. The center will offer mentorship, collaboration space and programs focused on business formation, sustainability and workforce development. 

The project responds to a broader need for economic diversification and job creation in Nevada, where the economy has historically relied heavily on tourism and hospitality. Small businesses employ more than 40% of the state’s workforce and are widely recognized as a primary driver of job growth following economic downturns. By supporting entrepreneurs and emerging businesses, the development will help strengthen the local economy while creating new opportunities for workers and residents. 

Located next to Nucleus Plaza at 1150 W. Owens Avenue, the development is expected to boost economic activity along the corridor by bringing new workers and visitors to nearby businesses. It also aligns with several city initiatives guiding revitalization of the Historic Westside, including the Historic Urban Neighborhood Design Redevelopment (HUNDRED) Plan, the Las Vegas 2050 Master Plan and other community-centered development efforts, which together aim to foster long-term growth, job creation and a thriving neighborhood ecosystem.
