With a strong focus on property and interior design, Daniel and Kelly Grimm work to build fresh experiences that comfort and inspire 21st century guests and residents.

DG Design + Development is a private real estate development and investment corporation focusing on hospitality and modern apartment living. Inspired by the local community, the goal of every project is to bring renewed energy, life, and value to the neighborhoods they inhabit. From the ground up, DG’s focus is to design and build properties that are uniquely aspirational yet irresistibly welcoming.

The DG brand was established in 2011 to capitalize on the unprecedented real estate opportunities in Las Vegas. Under Daniel’s leadership, DG Design + Development has amassed a diverse group of properties which includes a 360-unit Class A rental apartment community located on 20 acres in the Southern Highlands area of Las Vegas, a 300-room full-service casino hotel resort in the heart of the Las Vegas resort corridor, a 250-room award winning dual-branded all suites hotel located steps from the Las Vegas Convention Center, and a 6-acre urban infill multifamily site also immediately adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Inspired by its uniquely resilient soul, the Grimm’s believe in Las Vegas. Their future plans include the acquisition and development of additional residential rental communities and hotel properties.
