Luxury Green Homes in Las Vegas
Blue Heron did the groundwork for Las Vegas The New American home with its first project, Stone Canyon, a community of loft-style homes built off Buffalo Road between Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard. Blue Heron likes to build on infill properties in established neighborhoods to do its part to reduce suburban sprawl and decrease its residents' drive times. In fact, the first phase of Stone Canyon was sold out before the developer had a chance to finish the model.
Other projects by Blue Heron include 22 Parkside at Laredo Street and Cimarron Road and Sky Terrace in the foothills of Henderson.
The Marquis Las Vegas development builds on similar concepts. The 9,000-square-foot New American Home has 22-foot-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling retractable windows, outdoor fireplaces and lofts with their own decks on each floor. The staircases are made of structural steel and the floors are polished concrete. There's even a rejuvenation room off the pool, a courtyard in the basement with a wet bar and an elevator with a sky deck. "What we think makes a great home is an open floor plan," Jones said. "Big, high ceilings and open loft rooms that look back into other spaces. We try to build a home that leads to a different type of lifestyle, one that is very open, yet private."
