Shipping Container Shopping Centers

Las Vegas' Downtown Container Park is a Unique Shopping Spot

— December 8, 2016 — Eco
While 'The Strip' may be Las Vegas' most popular destination, the downtown area is becoming an increasingly popular spot for tourists thanks to the creation of the Downtown Container Park.

The Downtown Container Park is an off-beat shopping complex made from repurposed shipping containers. The old containers have been strategically staked on top of one another to create everything from bars and restaurants to shops and galleries. The open-air complex is also set up to serve as a family-friendly entertainment space, with live music every weekend, movie nights and even an urban treehouse with a 33-foot-tall slide.

For those who are looking low-key alternative to The Strip, this one-of-a-kind shopping center is a perfect option.
Trend Themes
1. Repurposed Shipping Containers - There is an opportunity for businesses to explore creative ways to repurpose shipping containers for various purposes, such as shopping centers and entertainment spaces.
2. Open-air Shopping Complexes - The creation of open-air shopping complexes, like the Downtown Container Park in Las Vegas, offers a unique and experiential retail environment that can attract tourists and locals alike.
3. Family-friendly Entertainment Spaces - Developing family-friendly entertainment spaces within shopping centers, such as urban treehouses and slides, can create a destination that appeals to a wider audience and encourages longer stays.
Industry Implications
1. Retail - The retail industry has an opportunity to embrace the concept of repurposed shipping containers and open-air shopping complexes to foster innovative and immersive shopping experiences.
2. Hospitality/entertainment - The hospitality and entertainment industries can explore the incorporation of family-friendly entertainment spaces within their venues to enhance the overall guest experience and attract new customers.
3. Real Estate/construction - Real estate developers and construction companies can capitalize on the trend of repurposed shipping containers by offering unique and sustainable building solutions for various projects, including shopping centers.
