When Did An Attic In Vegas Become A Penthouse?
Language is a funny thing; not all that long ago (in the bigger scheme of things), if you told someone that you had some Las Vegas Citycenter Penthouses For Sale; they could have possibly thought that you were offering to sell them a small shed type structure beneath a sloping roof coming out of the side wall of a building; in other words, some sort of outhouse. Around that same historical time, whenever they did build a tall residential building; that was to be split up into a number of residential apartments on each floor; the ground floor units would be the most sought after and the most expensive. Less well off people would have to struggle up the stairs to their top floor attics, lofts or garrets (the dictionary says that a garret is a small, unpleasant room just below the roof of a building).
I Guess The Elevator Changed Our Point Of View
And not only in the sense of taking us higher up inside a building than we would care to climb so that we can admire the view from the top – it does not seem to matter overmuch what it is we are looking at; we all seem to prefer the view from higher up. However, the elevator also changed our opinion on living at the top of a building (where we could admire the view) and, all of a sudden, attics became desirable and penthouses were no longer sheds but large, luxurious dwellings, right at the very top of tall buildings.
So, returning to the question of those Las Vegas Citycenter Penthouses For Sale; we are looking at something highly sought after. Las Vegas has grown beyond recognition from some early Spanish-Mexican settlers simple houses with penthouse to the side; Vegas is a number one tourist spot and most of this is due to the casinos and, in particular, the area known as the Las Vegas Strip (actually located at the City border in a township called Paradise). In this area, just about everything is high rise and the recently developed CityCenter is no exception.
CityCenter Las Vegas
Possibly the most expensive private development in US history; CityCenter is a totally redeveloped part of the Strip. The Crystals at 30 feet high is not high rise; but, it is a 500,000 sq ft, retail, entertainment, eating & drinking complex; out of which two 480 feet high, twin towered condominium blocks rise. In addition, there are 4 other high rise buildings; where there may still be Las Vegas Citycenter Penthouses For Sale. To know more visit Veertowers.com.
