Residences at
CityCenter's Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas Nearly Sold Out After
Two Weeks on Market
More Than $600 Million in
Real Estate Sold in 14 Days
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 14
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- More than 90 percent of the luxury
residential offerings at CityCenter's Mandarin Oriental Las
Vegas have sold in a mere 14 days and generated more than $600
million, signifying a robust market for Las Vegas' next
generation development. The first of CityCenter's four
residential developments to be released to the public for
purchase, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental achieved prices
well above expectations.
Still available is the
Mandarin Penthouse collection, including luxurious two- and
three- bedroom units ranging in size from 2,065 square feet to
4,259 square feet. These residences are priced from $3.7
million to $9.1 million and will be delivered as grey shells.
CityCenter, MGM MIRAGE's (NYSE:MGM)
$7 billion dazzling vertical city, will open in the heart of
the Las Vegas Strip between Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts
in late 2009. The development combines approximately 2,700
private residences; two 400-room non-gaming boutique hotels; a
dramatic 60-story, 4,000-room resort casino; and a
500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment district into a
single urban core. CityCenter is a design collaboration
between MGM MIRAGE and eight of the world's foremost
architects including Foster and Partners, Gensler, Helmut Jahn,
KPF Architects, Pelli Clarke Pelli, Rockwell Group, RV
Architecture LLC led by Rafael Vinoly and Studio Daniel
Libeskind.
"The tremendous success of
Mandarin sales, in terms of price and pace, demonstrates the
value CityCenter offers the sophisticated residential real
estate buyer and indicates that CityCenter is more than a
city-within-a-city; it is a real estate micro-market with its
own supply, demand and prices," said Tony Dennis, Executive
Vice President of CityCenter's Residential Division. "Through
its remarkable architecture, elite amenities, unmatched
service and forward-thinking environmental initiatives, it is
clear that CityCenter is making its stake as one of the
world's most desirable residential communities."
CityCenter began taking
reservations for two additional residential offerings in
January and will begin to convert those to contract within the
next month. Early demand far exceeded expectations. Vdara
Condo Hotel, designed by RV Architecture LLC led by Rafael
Vinoly, has already taken well above 700 reservations for its
approximately 1,543 units and will go to contract beginning
February 20. Veer Towers, distinctly designed by Helmut Jahn
will be released for contract in March and has already taken
more than 600 reservations for its approximately 674 units.
The final of the offerings,
The Harmon Hotel & Residences, designed by Foster and Partners
will be released in June. Each offering will be a superb
architectural achievement, reflecting the brilliance and
individuality of its designer. Dramatic exteriors will be
matched by breathtaking interiors, where every appointment,
texture and detail is the result of thoughtful consideration.

enjoy exclusive privileges at MGM MIRAGE resorts in Las Vegas
within its unmatched array of entertainment, gaming, shopping,
dining, spa and nightlife offerings. Privileges range from
