Symphony Park gets luxury apartment buildings
Southern Land Co., a national developer of award-winning master-planned communities and mixed-use developments, recently celebrated the groundbreaking on two luxury apartment buildings at Symphony Park in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. This will significantly expand SLC’s presence in Symphony Park where it completed Auric, one of Symphony Park’s first residential developments, in 2021.
Symphony Park II and III (working titles) are situated on two contiguous parcels totaling more than 5 acres adjacent Grand Central Parkway directly across from World Market Center Las Vegas and just north of The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. Considered the cultural heart of Las Vegas, Symphony Park, the city’s premier development site, is a dynamic and vibrant 61-acre mixed-use community home to the world-class Smith Center, highly acclaimed Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health housed in an iconic Frank Gehry-designed building, Discovery Children’s Museum, and luxury apartment buildings.
Combined, the two new apartment buildings will total more than 730,000 square feet and will bring 545 additional luxury apartment homes to downtown Las Vegas.
Symphony Park II is a five-story mid-rise that will house 275 one- and two-bedroom residences from 570 to 1,297 square feet, while Symphony Park III is a 22-story high-rise that will offer 270 one- and two-bedroom residences, along with penthouses, ranging from 570 to 3,160 square feet. Both apartment buildings will include robust amenities, including a resident lounge, concierge, dog run, fitness center and yoga room, pool and hot tub, pool lounge with outdoor bar, grills and televisions, cabanas, bike storage and tune shop. Symphony Park III’s pool deck will be located on the ninth floor, offering residents panoramic views. The ninth floor will feature an outdoor fitness terrace and a resident lounge with bar. The building will have multiple terraces, high-end unit finishes, and more than 16,500 square feet of commercial and retail space on the first floor.
Construction for both projects is estimated to take approximately 27 months with completion planned for mid-year 2025. GDA Architects of Dallas, Texas, designed both projects. Burke Construction Group, Inc. is the general contractor for Symphony Park II while T.B. Penick & Sons is the general contractor for Symphony Park III.
