The center is 100% leased and includes a merchandise mix of high quality retailers and restaurants, including Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Ann Taylor, Talbots, Chico's and PF Chang's.

Rampart Commons is located on the northwest corner of N. Rampart Blvd. and W. Charleston Blvd. in the high-end retail area of Summerlin. The shopping center draws from an attractive trade area with an estimated population of 103,837 and average household income of $110,756.
