Mark L. Fine

Mark L. Fine is one of Southern Nevada's preeminent real estate developers. As president of American Nevada Company, he guided the development and growth of Green Valley, Southern Nevada's first large scale master-planned community. After 17 years of developing Green Valley, Fine became president of the Summerlin division of the Howard Hughes Corporation and led the company until 1995.

Creating a strong sense of community is Fine's top priority as a developer. Open spaces, parks, public art, schools and libraries have always been important aspects of his developments. His public art program, which featured outdoor sculpture, was embraced by the community and was rated Best of the Best by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
