Overview
• Distinctively designed as two glass towers leaning in opposite directions (five degrees from center), Veer Towers represent a truly innovative architectural accomplishment. The modern, loft-like residences will be surrounded by the best retail, restaurants and entertainment on The Strip.
Building Details
• Two 37-story towers each will feature approximately 335 residences. Studios; one, two and three- bedroom residences; and penthouses range from 500 to nearly 3,300 square feet.
Defining Features
• Veer will help transform The Strip from a weekend getaway destination to a way of life – and a place to call home. Unlike ever before, urban living will become a reality in the Entertainment Capital of the World. Veer will rise from Crystals, CityCenter’s spectacular retail district, giving residents unprecedented access to the best of stylish, big city living. Upscale dining, lavish shopping and electric nightlife – with entertainment as only Las Vegas can offer – will be just steps away.
• At Veer, residents can swim and sun in an infinity edge pool on each rooftop, which also will feature cabanas, a hot tub and a sun deck. Veer is designed to keep pace with residents’ unique lifestyles, offering outdoor hospitality patios and indoor recreation rooms for entertaining, private media rooms with spectacular views, a fitness center with men’s and women’s steam rooms and business centers.
Architectural Design
• As two angled silhouette towers of glass, Veer will soar above the rest of the city. Realized by architect Helmut Jahn, Veer’s brilliant exteriors will shimmer with light – day and night. Its glass façades and fins will provide shade from the sun, diverting heat and enhancing circulation of cool air to promote energy-efficient climate control.
• The overall lobby environment will showcase the beauty of its architecture with monumental glass boxes flooded with light, metal statements, exposed concrete walls and modern artwork.
Living Spaces
• Light-filled rooms, natural textures and a range of whites will infuse streamlined interiors with openness. Modern kitchens, living and dining areas will be ideal for entertaining and spacious spa-styled bathrooms will invite retreat. High-end appliances and fixtures will provide efficiency and sleekness as floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the Las Vegas vistas.
• Veer residences will be filled with contemporary, European-style features and designer-selected fixtures. Open floor plans will feature floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows that capture spectacular views of Las Vegas and the surrounding CityCenter.
Residential Services
• CityCenter owners will enjoy privileged access to the full spectrum of MGM MIRAGE properties in Las Vegas. Benefits include VIP treatment and preferred access to MGM MIRAGE’s unequaled resorts, restaurants, entertainment, special events, nightlife, shopping, golf and spa offerings, including in-home spa treatments.
Pricing
• From the low $500,000s
Design Architect
• Helmut Jahn maintains a highly diversified practice serving a broad spectrum of private, corporate, institutional and governmental clients in the United States and abroad.
• The firm is dedicated to a progressive stance on technology and design, and relies on “archi-neering” – a term coined by principal architect Helmut Jahn to express what he sees as the synergistic, non-hierarchal relationship between architecture and engineering. The idea of convergence is the philosophy of the firm and its work. Helmut Jahn’s contributions to the built environment focus on office buildings and high rises, airports and other transportation-related works, as well as convention and commercial centers. A strong international presence has led to numerous commissions throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and across the United States.
Fine Art Collection
• The unparalleled Fine Art Collection will feature works by acclaimed artists including Maya Lin, Jenny Holzer, Nancy Rubins, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Frank Stella, Henry Moore and Richard Long, François-Xavier Lalanne and Isa Genzken, among others. The collection will encompass a multitude of styles and media ranging from sculptures and paintings to large-scale installations. Some will be existing pieces, carefully chosen for their artistic value and cultural significance; others will be site-specific installations for which the artist has been invited to command their vision over the space.
• Veer Towers will feature two large-scale commissioned works by Richard Long. Entitled Circle of Life and Earth, Long’s two mud wall drawings each will measure 80 feet high by 50 feet wide and be displayed on Veer’s west and east tower walls, respectively. Long’s art showcases his appreciation for nature; the majority of his works are inspired by natural landscapes he has encountered while hiking. During his walks, Long often creates sculptures using natural materials in the environment such as leaves, twigs and stones, and then photographs the end result to forever capture his work.
Expected Opening
• Closings are scheduled to begin in January 2010
