Developers of the $1 billion W Las Vegas condominium-hotel project planned for Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane have selected a general contractor and architect, both from Las Vegas.
M.J. Dean Construction, builder of Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, Luxor, Circus Circus, Hard Rock Hotel and Panorama Towers, has been named general contractor.
Utility installation work has begun on the 24.5-acre site and M.J. Dean is building the $5 million sales center for W Las Vegas Residences.
Las Vegas-based Klai Juba Architects is working with Lacina Heitler Architects of New York in designing the hotel, casino and residences.
Charles Allem Designs was also named to the project.
W Las Vegas is being developed through a partnership between Edge Resorts and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide.
The project will include a mix of hotel and condo-hotel units with resort-style amenities.
Edge Chairman Reagan Silber said assembling the development team for W Las Vegas is a "huge step forward." In January, W Las Vegas secured $232.5 million in development financing led by Société Générale Corporate and Investment Banking.
