The Downtown area of Vegas has always had two sides¿by day a busy business center and by night the Fremont Street Experience and friendly old-time casinos (where you can play slots and still get coins instead of a ticket). Now there is a third side. The renaissance of the downtown area is in high gear. January 22 was the groundbreaking ceremony for a $5.5 million, 6 block long Freemont Street expansion just east of the Fremont Street Experience. The extended Entertainment District, expected to be completed in the summer, will feature an eclectic mix of bars and live music, mixed with existing hot spots. The new district will have a street-spanning neon gateway and several retro-style neon exhibits like the Silver Slipper.
As the only high rise in the heart of the Freemont Street expansion, Streamline Tower is an exciting real estate opportunity. Pre-completion prices range from the high $400,000 to $1.3 million. Amenities include roof top pool, hot tub and sun terrace, state-of-the-art fitness center, club house and conference room, secure key-card entry, 24 hour concierge & valet, and on-site leasing services. Streamline Tower is about 60 percent pre-sold with completion expected in 2008.
Growth in the downtown area goes well beyond Fremont Street, as the whole of the downtown area undergoes vast changes and improvements. Several high-rises and lofts exemplify this urban renaissance.
One of the first high-rise residences in the Downtown area is Soho Lofts, a $45 million 112-unit complex featuring residences from 1,290 to 4,000 square feet plus a 4,000 square foot area of retail on the ground floor. In the middle of the new Arts District, the 15 story, 225 foot high structure features high ceilings with exposed water pipes and ventilation ducts. All units have dramatic city and mountain views and large terraces. A 24-hour doorman will greet you at the grand lobby, and there is a five-story secured and enclosed parking garage with available storage for your convenience.
Another glowing new complex in the revitalized downtown area is Juhl. Located south of Fremont Street near Las Vegas Boulevard, this striking complex will be 6 to 15 stories, and feature chic urban lofts from 600 to 2200 square feet. From studios to penthouses, the units are priced from around $300,000 to $600,000. The builder is offering 100 flexible floor plans, allowing buyers to shape their own residence, even place their own walls. Juhl will highlight shopkeeper units, a 2 story fitness center, and 9000 square feet of retail space.
