History

The project was originally announced as Versailles in March 1998,[1] to be constructed on 14.5 acres of land adjacent to Summerlin's Badlands Golf Course,[2][3] near the southwest corner of Rampart Boulevard and Alta Drive.[4]

The project would consist of three 12-story towers with a total of 84 condominium units in 10 different floor plans,[3] ranging in size from 3,000 square feet to 13,000 square feet, with prices between $1.1 million and $7.7 million.[2] The project would have offered fulltime security, concierge and valet service, a spa, a ballroom, and access to the nearby golf course.[2]

Construction, to be handled by Taurus Development – a Canada-based international real estate developer – was to begin in May 1998,[3] and was scheduled to be completed 14 months later.[2] Five other companies were involved in the project's development, including Peccole Nevada Corporation, which provided part of the property for the project.[2]

Condo units for Versailles had gone on sale by April 1999.[5] Taurus Development planned to begin construction the following month,[6] with an expected completion date of early 2001.[5] In December 2000, Peccole Nevada announced that Taurus Development was no longer involved with the project, which Peccole Nevada still planned to construct with a different development team. At that time, Peccole Nevada was also preparing to develop a separate resort on nearby land that would consist of 300 fractional timeshare-like units.[7]

A new project was announced in July 2004, as Queensridge Towers. At that time, it was to consist of three 18-story towers and one 14-story tower, with a total of 385 condominium units at an average of 3,850 square feet. The smallest units would be in the 2,000 square-foot range, while eight of the largest units would be 13,000 square feet. The average price for a unit would be $1 million.[4] The first phase of construction began in April 2005, with the project now named One Queensridge Place. The project was designed by JMA Architecture Studios, while Perini Building Company served as the general contractor.[8]

The towers are among the most expensive in the United States. Condo prices range between $1,200,000 and $20,000,000. The penthouses on the top 2 floors of each structure are approximately 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) each. The average price for a unit is $2,300,000.[9]
