Summit House
Summerlin's First Proposed Residential High-Rise
Planning a move into Summit House?
Talk with Tom and Serena about buying at Summit House and planning the sale of the home you own today.
For three decades, Summerlin has grown out, not up. Now Howard Hughes and Discovery Land Company have filed plans with Clark County for Summit House: two 21-story glass towers holding approximately 260 luxury condominiums, joined by a skybridge on the 17th floor, in the eastern section of Downtown Summerlin.
If it is approved and built, it would be the first residential high-rise in Summerlin's history. The project is in early county review, and no pricing, sales date or construction schedule has been announced yet. This page tracks what is known today and how to position yourself for pre-sales.
Summit House at a Glance
What Is Being Proposed
According to the plans filed with Clark County and reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Summit House would rise on almost 10 acres on the north side of La Madre Mountain Drive, between Pavilion Center Drive and Spruce Goose Street. The two towers would total approximately 1.76 million square feet, with two levels of underground parking below.
The signature element is the skybridge. Linking the towers at the 17th floor, it is planned to hold a bar, a restaurant, outdoor terraces and event space, with four more floors of residences rising above it.
The development is a joint venture between Howard Hughes Holdings, the master developer of Summerlin, and Discovery Land Company, known for private club communities. The filed design team includes Hart Howerton as design architect, SCB as executive architect, and Champalimaud Design for interiors.
Proposed Amenities
The filing describes a resort-style amenity program across both towers.
Outdoors
Several pools, a golf practice area and an event lawn.
Dining and Social
A pool bar, a wine cave and tasting room, a speakeasy lounge, a sports bar, and the skybridge restaurant and bar.
Recreation
Golf simulators, pickleball courts with their own bar, and a bowling alley.
Wellness
A fitness center, sauna, and hot and cold plunges.
Amenities in a proposal are a statement of intent, not a promise. Expect the list to change as the project moves through review and design.
The first buyers in new towers get first choice of floor plans, floors and views.
That choice is made across the table from the builder's sales team, under a contract written by the builder's attorneys. With Serena Heuser beside you from the first conversation, you make every one of those decisions with someone whose only job is protecting your interests.
Where Summit House Would Sit
Summit House is planned for the eastern section of Downtown Summerlin, on the north side of La Madre Mountain Drive between Pavilion Center Drive and Spruce Goose Street, east of the open-air shopping center. The address is Las Vegas 89135, in unincorporated Clark County, not the City of Las Vegas.
Being inside Downtown Summerlin means everything in the district is walkable: 125+ shops and restaurants, Whole Foods Market, Las Vegas Ballpark and City National Arena, with the 215 Beltway minutes away. Looking west, the views take in the Red Rock Canyon escarpment and the Spring Mountains. Looking east, the upper floors would look across the valley toward the Strip.
Why It Is a First for Summerlin
Summerlin covers 22,500 acres, 25 villages and more than 130,000 residents, and nearly all of it has been built as single-family neighborhoods, townhomes and low-rise condominiums. Even Downtown Summerlin, the only downtown in Southern Nevada, has stayed low. Its apartment communities rise about five stories, and its tallest office buildings stand around 10. At 21 stories, Summit House would be roughly four times the height of its nearest residential neighbors.
That matters for more than the skyline. Summerlin buyers who wanted high-rise living, with a doorman, a lock-and-leave lifestyle and a view from the 18th floor, have had to look toward the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas. Summit House would be the first option inside the master plan itself.
Where the Approval Stands
Clark County records list the application as being in pre-review. The developers are asking for design review, a special use permit, a vacation and abandonment, a tentative map and a street name change. As of the latest reporting, no public hearings had been scheduled.
What happens next is a standard sequence: county staff review, public hearings, approvals or conditions, and only then final design, financing and construction. No construction schedule has been announced. For context, high-rise projects of this size typically take several years to move from entitlement to completion, and developers commonly begin pre-sales before vertical construction starts.
Howard Hughes and Discovery have followed that pre-sale pattern before. In 2025, they opened sales on 'Ilima Ward Village, a 33-story tower in Honolulu, and Howard Hughes reported it was 41% pre-sold at launch.
Howard Hughes has been developing Summerlin since 1990, and its own headquarters sits at 1700 Pavilion Center Drive, a short walk from the site. Downtown Summerlin itself is a Howard Hughes project, built in phases since its first phase opened in 2014.

Why Buyers Bring Serena to the Sales Center: The Builder's Agent Works for the Builder
Buying in a new tower is still new construction, and the builder's side of the table is built for it. The builder's sales team, contract and pricing strategy all work for the builder. Serena Heuser works for you.
Representation From Your First Visit
When you register with the builder, Serena must be listed as your agent, or she can register you with the builder herself. Either way, it ensures she is allowed to represent you through the whole purchase. Builders set their own registration rules, and some require it at your first contact.
A Contract Read on Your Behalf
Pre-sale agreements set deposit schedules, completion terms, the builder's right to make changes, and when a deposit can be lost. Serena reviews those terms with you, flags what is negotiable, and pushes for protections before you sign.
The Right Residence, Not Just the Next One Released
Floor, stack, view corridor and floor plan all shape what a residence is worth when you sell it. Serena weighs every option against long-term value, not against the sales team's release schedule.
Pricing and Incentives
First-release pricing, upgrade packages and closing credits can all be negotiated. Serena knows where builders have room to move.
Serena represents buyers only and has represented buyers on 50+ new construction purchases. For the legal terms of any purchase agreement, The Heuser Team also recommends review by a Nevada real estate attorney. See how Serena works with buyers on the buy a home page and on new construction homes.
Selling Your Summerlin Home to Make the Move
Some of the strongest interest in Summit House will come from people who already live in Summerlin: homeowners ready to trade square footage and a yard for a residence in the sky, without leaving the community they know. Tom Heuser, a Summerlin resident for 22 years, is one of them.
The timing is the hard part. A pre-sale contract can be signed years before the building is finished, and selling too early can leave you without a home in between, while selling too late can leave you carrying two payments. Planning the sale around the tower's actual milestones is what avoids both.
Tom has listed and sold nearly 350 homes, 99% of them within the original listing agreement. If a Summit House residence is in your future, a plan for your current home belongs in the conversation now. See how Tom markets Summerlin homes on the sell a home page.
