Next
on the Las Vegas preconstruction condo horizon will
be Ivana (formerly the Summit), the tallest
habitable structure in Las Vegas, another project by
Altomare and Di Mauro. Ivana will be a 73 story
building towering over the city at 940 feet. Ivana
will be centrally located on a two acre lot at the
northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard South and
Sahara Avenue that's now occupied by the dormant
Holy Cow casino/brew pub and a small, multilevel
parking garage.
Plans are still being developed for Ivana, and it
has not yet been finalized on whether or not its
main floors will house a boutique casino. It will be
sold as a condo hotel with the top 15 floors
reserved for residential living. Its grandiose
design calls for nine floor plans totaling 960 units
capped by a nearly 15,700-square-foot penthouse that
the builders hope to sell for more than $35 million.
Joseph Di Mauro insists his group's proposed
940-foot residential tower will become a high-class
gateway to downtown Las Vegas, likely within the
next 36 months. Sales offices in Australia and Asia
will play a role in marketing what he called a
project of "national significance." In all it will
take about 3 years to complete.
