Allure condominiums on schedule.

Lots of talk has lately centered on high-rise condo developments enmeshed in trouble in Las Vegas, basically not even getting off the ground. To balance that notion out, there are many luxury projects that are moving ahead as planned. Allure on Sahara Avenue is one of them.

Units in the 41-story tower range from 671 sq. ft. to 4,400 sq. ft., coming in a studio size to a three-bedroom size. When finished in September, the building holds 428 homes and prices start from the mid-$500,000s. A partner in the joint venture has recently informed that a second, taller tower is in the planning stages. That's confidence. The developer with prior experience in condo construction, solid financial resources and vast marketing expertise can make it work even in this market.
