Vegas is going Green

In addition to this blog, I've started another real estate news blog as well. I've been reading Green Talk lately and it got me thinking about green projects here in Las Vegas. There have been a couple of high publicity green projects, like CityCenter and Verge, but when I did a little digging I found out some interesting things. The first post I did was titled: Why going Green makes dollars and sense and it delves into the benefits financially of going green in Nevada. The second was about Union Park getting into a LEED pilot program.

If you want to read about what you can do to be green in your everyday life, check out Anna's blog at Green Talk.

Verge lofts

In the continued revitalization of downtown Las Vegas spear headed by Mayor Goodman, another project throws its hat in the Las Vegas lofts ring. Verge is a mixed use project located in the downtown area at Main Street and Bonanza. As with projects of this type, the community doesn't offer any out of the ordinary amenities, but does stand out in its construction. Verge lofts will be a LEED certified building, making it one of the few green residential buildings in Nevada (the only other Las Vegas green project is CityCenter). Residents can expect to enjoy significant savings in utlities as a result.

Currently the developer is only offering "typical" verisions of the floorplans that will be available. Available loft floor plans include studio, penthouse and one to three bedroom lofts. Most plans are single story but there will also be two story plans available as well.

For more information about Verge, call 702-493-8033.
