Former Hawks lottery pick Josh Childress developing apartments in Las Vegas

The Raiders, Wayne Newton and Josh Childress.

Childress, the former Atlanta Hawks lottery pick, is reportedly developing an apartment complex in Las Vegas, according to CloseUp360. The complex is The Gramercy through his company Landspire Group. Childress’ goal is to “reinvigorate the local economy and bring their communities closer together,” the report read.

Buying the property was a response to the “millennial flight” that is taking place on the west coast during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many young professionals are leaving cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco to live in more affordable places like Nevada and Arizona, as Childress highlighted in an August interview with the “Pilot Boys” podcast.
