Howard Hughes, Jr. bought 25,000 acres of land in Southern Nevada, near Las Vegas, in the mid 1950s. Later, in 1988, the Summa Corporation, set up to oversee his holdings and business interests after his death, exchanged some 5,000 acres of the land (close to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area) and took over 3,000 acres just south of current day Summerlin. Construction of the community began in 1990, and today 19 out of the 30 planned villages have either been completed or are being built.
