Summerlin offers variety of amenities

The Howard Hughes Corp., developer of Summerlin, celebrated major milestones for the master-planned community in 2015, most notably the 25th anniversary of the commencement of development and a 30 percent year-over-year increase in home sales.

As this new year begins, the community is selling 18 new neighborhoods with more than 80 floor plans ranging from luxury townhomes to estate size single-family homes up to 5,900 square feet. Development scheduled in 2016 includes additional neighborhoods throughout the community and a variety of new amenities.

"Twenty-five years into development, Summerlin is home to more than 100,000 residents and continues to evolve and take shape true to its original vision as Southern Nevada's premier community," said Kevin T. Orrock, president of Summerlin. "The community's thoughtful and strategic evolution has helped Summerlin maintain both its relevance and appeal for more than a quarter century — a remarkable achievement by any measure. We had much to celebrate in 2015, and we expect 2016 to be no different."

Summerlin's elite roster of homebuilders includes Ryland Homes now named CalAtlantic Homes, Christopher Homes, KB Home, Lennar, Pulte Homes, Richmond American Homes, Toll Brothers, William Lyon Homes and Woodside Homes.

In The Cliffs village, Regency by Toll Brothers is Summerlin's newest age-qualified neighborhood set to open in spring 2016. The staff-gated neighborhood will bring more than 425 single-family homes ranging from 1,600 to 2,400 square feet and feature an active lifestyle created by walking trails and a 16,000-square-foot amenity center with an indoor lap pool and outdoor resort-style pools; tennis, pickle ball and bocce ball courts.

Another first — Constellation — Downtown Summerlin's first residential development, will begin leasing its 124-unit luxury apartments early this year. A joint venture of The Calida Group and The Howard Hughes Corp., the gated complex offers one and two-story floor plans with private garages, lofts, dry bars, roof-top decks and a rich roster of resident amenities.

Continuing to unfold in 2016 is The Summit, a joint venture between Discovery Land Co. and The Howard Hughes Corp. Located south of The Ridges, The Summit is poised to become Nevada's most exclusive resort-style residential community. Plans for this guard-gated, 555-acre, golf-course, resort community include a range of luxury living environments from custom homes on lots as large as 3 acres to world-class villas, all on a private Tom Fazio 18-hole golf course. Construction has commenced with lot and villa sales expected to begin closing in 2016 and the first move-ins, along with golf course completion, scheduled for 2017.

Summerlin will also add several amenities to its existing roster of parks, pools and schools this year.

The Vistas Community Center, Summerlin's fourth community center designed for the exclusive use of Summerlin residents and their guests, will open early 2016 in The Vistas Park. It includes an outdoor pool with a slide and a child's lagoon.

A nearly 25,000-square-foot aquatic center is also on track to open early this year in The Cliffs village. It includes a junior Olympic-size pool, a second, 9-foot-deep pool; a 1,800-square-foot "therapy" pool; locker rooms; and meeting room. Upon completion, The Howard Hughes Corp. will deed the facility to Clark County for public use.

A public kindergarten through ninth-grade charter school is slated to open this fall near Alta and Sky Vista drives. And, a new public elementary school built by Clark County School District is planned to break ground and slated to open for the 2017-2018 school year along with a second park at Fox Hill and Antelope Ridge drives.
