Apartment complex planned

The Howard Hughes Corp. recently announced plans for the first multifamily residential development in the emerging 400-acre Downtown Summerlin. Construction is expected to begin this fall on the joint venture of Hughes and the Calida Group. The 124-unit, gated luxury apartment complex has a projected spring 2015 opening.

Situated on nearly 4½ acres adjacent to the 1.6 million-square-foot retail destination opening later this year in Downtown Summerlin, residents will be near shopping, dining and entertainment options.

Summerlin offers a variety of amenities. Residents enjoy 150 miles of trails, more than 150 parks, community centers, pools, resident-only events year round and neighborhood conveniences such as grocery stores, salons, fitness facilities and a broad selection of dining and retail options.

The multifamily complex will boast a contemporary architectural design in keeping with overall plans for Downtown Summerlin. The three-story, 170,000-square-foot project will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 1,000 to 2,040 square feet.

Exclusive amenities for residents include a fitness center; a spa with tanning services, on-call masseuse and aesthetician; and a resort-style pool with an outdoor barbecue area and pool-side cabanas.

Third-floor homes include 20-foot ceilings, a private walk-up to a mezzanine level and a fourth-story rooftop deck. Some residences include attached garages.

“This multifamily residential community will be virtually unmatched across the Las Vegas Valley” said Kevin Orrock, president of Summerlin. “We are pleased to collaborate with the Calida Group, a national developer whose well-established reputation for world-class, quality construction and design makes (it) an ideal fit.”

“The Calida Group is committed to creating an entire lifestyle, not just a place to live,” said Eric Cohen, its managing director. “We are thrilled to partner with one of the country’s premier master-planned community developers and agree that our approach is ideally suited for Summerlin. Our communities boast impeccable service, modern interior designs and highly desirable locations, and this is no exception.”
