Own a piece of the The Rock

Peter Morton said he was bowing to wishes of a lot of people who patronize The Rock Hotel and who had asked him about building condos. Finally he was ready with such a project. It's a 1 billion dollar residential complex and will consist of 3 high rises condo towers called The Residences, 2 smaller ones called The Flats and number of independent homes encircling the pool with their own private terraces, rooftop pool, private yard and resident parking. The 32 units, ranging in size from 1,800 to 3,600 square feet, start at $2.5 million.

According to owner of the project 375 units at The Residences are already sold, with buyers putting down anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 deposits. This project is unlike anything that has ever been seen in Las Vegas. Architect Chad Oppenheim of Miami is designing it, and Las Vegas-based Marnell Corrao is the general contractor.

The whole project is going to be unique and they have put in features that no one has even thought of before. Christian Liaigre Interiors is designing the unit interiors. Zaha Hadid, a Pritzger Award-winning architect, is designing an upgraded spa, including a fitness center and full-service hair salon.

What Peter Morton is planning is a whole new design that will give people a new lifestyle not just another home in a high rise. It will be like owning a piece of The Rock!
