Veer Towers

Las Vegas, Nevada
CityCenter features a half-mile-long, three-station tram system that connects the complex with neighboring MGM properties, the Monte Carlo and Bellagio. Along the way, it stops at Crystals and travels by Murphy/Jahn's 500-foot-tall Veer condominiums. The paired towers tilt 5 degrees at opposing angles in order to assure unobstructed views from more apartments, especially those on the uppermost floors. To help mitigate heat gain from the desert sun, the insulated buildings' glass skin includes sand-dune-colored ceramic frit and perforated aluminum louvers.
