CityCenter’s High-Rise Community Brings ‘Urban Resort Residential’ to Las Vegas

By E.P. La Brecque

As an integral part of the hotel, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental,  Las Vegas were designed by New York-based Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, a firm recognized for the excellence and innovation of its buildings in cities around the world. From the outside, the building’s colors and textures respond to the desert surroundings and crystalline light.

On the inside, its 227 condominium residences are perched above the vibrant life of The Strip on the highest floors of the hotel. The design and architecture firms of Tihany Design, Kay Lang & Associates and Paige & Steele Interior Architects have realized living spaces characterized by an artful, Eastern approach married with a contemporary style in a rich selection of colors, materials and finishes. The residential condominium is slated to include one- and two-bedroom residences as well as two- and three-bedroom penthouses ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 square feet.

Adds Dennis, “Our second residential condo product is a chic and sophisticated destination, also extremely luxurious, for a generation looking for something new.”

This opportunity, at The Harmon Hotel & Residences graces the top 20 floors of a sleek 40-story hotel tower designed by the London-based firm of Foster + Partners, a firm noted both for the thought-provoking modernity of its work as well as its beautifully engineered, intelligent and efficient structures.

Residences provide full access to the hotel’s stylish and supportive amenities, which include a technologically advanced conference facility, concierge, salon, spa, and fitness center. In addition, The Harmon’s residences deliver views that maximize sightlines in multiple directions, including up and down The Strip. In addition to its 400 hotel rooms, The Harmon is slated to offer 228 condominium residences featuring studios, one and two bedrooms, and penthouses ranging from approximately 800 to 4,200 square feet.

“For another home ownership alternative, Veer Towers is all about the urban experience at its fullest,” says Dennis.

Helmut Jahn Architects’ design for the twin, residential high-rises known as Veer Towers (renderings above) is a masterful translation of energy and excitement into physical form: Its two, 37-story glass towers, each housing some 352 condo residences, soar above the city. Inclined at a dramatic five-degree angle, the towers seem to interact with each other.

Lobbies and public spaces developed by designer Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido showcase impressive works of art with plenty of natural light. Inside the residences, Dianna Wong Architecture & Interior Design, Inc., has created living spaces that impart a pure, simple aesthetic and sense of openness that picks up where panoramas leave off.

Veer presents a level of support geared to individuals on the go. They can choose from studios, one- and two-bedroom flats and penthouses slated to range from approximately 500 to 2,600 square feet.  

“Each of Veer’s residential buildings makes a unique contribution to the whole,” says Dennis. “Together, they’ll shape the next evolution of Las Vegas and become a global showcase of urban design. “

“From a location standpoint, CityCenter is at the center of everything that is Las Vegas,” he notes. “Because it has so much to offer, we believe CityCenter will attract people from all over the world.”

The CityCenter Residential Sales Pavilion opens early January 2007. CityCenter residential occupancy is slated to begin in November 2009. For more information, call 866-708-7111 or visit citycenter.com.
