BRUCE LANGSON WINS PRESTIGIOUS “INFLUENCE AWARD”

“In Business Las Vegas” magazine recognizes the Langson legacy in Vegas and his remarkable vision for the future of the city

LAS VEGAS, NV (December 2, 2005)—Bruce Langson, President of Langson Development, has been recognized by In Business Las Vegas magazine with the 2005 Influence Award for Real Estate Development. Awarded to Las Vegas business leaders who carry clout in their respective industries, the award celebrates the huge impact Langson and his family have had on real estate development in Las Vegas for generations, including his current project, the revolutionary new 40-story dual-tower high-rise condominium community Las Vegas Central, a city within a city, slated for construction near the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“I am extremely excited and humbled to have been chosen for an Influence Award by In Business Las Vegas,” said Langson. “It is such a privilege to know that In Business recognizes the tremendous transformations Las Vegas Central will bring about on the immediate area and for the community at large, not just through our innovative design but through our singular approaches to community and convenience. The work we are doing is intended not just to impact Las Vegas, but to evolve the urban experience as a whole.”

In Business Las Vegas is the must-read publication for executives, business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs. The Influence Awards recognize influential people in business in the region. Candidates are selected as a result of nominations, a multitude of telephone calls, and extensive staff research. Entries were narrowed down to 36 categories to find the people who make things happen in Southern Nevada.

Bruce Langson is a third-generation Las Vegas developer. The Las Vegas Central project is the newest addition to the Langson legacy and will be constructed on the site where Bruce’s father Don built the Kona Loha apartments in 1962. The Kona Loha is synonymous with the glory days of Las Vegas, a place where locals gathered to claim a piece of the city for themselves. Las Vegas Central is designed around the same philosophy, providing a vibrant center of activity and community for the people of the city. As someone raised in Vegas who considers it his “home,” Langson is widely regarded as a long-term entity, someone passionate about the city who is eager to invest his time and talent into making Las Vegas a better place.

Las Vegas Central is at the heart of Langson’s remarkable vision for the future of his hometown. The community incorporates two 40-story towers, 1,000 luxury homes, and 100,000 square feet of retail and commercial space in a single dynamic location. Homeowners at Las Vegas Central enjoy an unprecedented living experience. They savor the luxury of a gorgeous home and a full slate of resort-style amenities, including no less than eight swimming pools, two of which are perfectly situated to take advantage of Las Vegas Central’s stunning panoramic views of the Strip.

At any moment, day or night, the community’s first three floors come alive with shops, restaurants and clubs designed to cater to a resident’s every need and desire. The amenities typify Langson’s dual goals of convenience and community—convenience in allowing residents to shop, dine, and relax without ever leaving the building, and community through bringing residents and guests alike together to build and nurture friendships old and new. The retail and commercial space at Las Vegas Central will represent an unprecedented fusion of entertainment, culture, and social interaction. It is truly unlike anything currently under construction in the city’s ongoing building boom.

“Las Vegas is here to stay,” said Langson. “Real people live in Las Vegas, and real people are moving here. Las Vegas Central is a community for true Las Vegans—those who live here and those who want to live here, people dedicated to the idea of Las Vegas as a city and a place to settle down. Those seeking a second home are welcome to explore all the features Las Vegas Central has to offer, but we are focused on establishing the vibrancy and activity of a full-time residential living environment—a place built by and for Las Vegans.”

Las Vegas Central is designed by the world-renowned Jerde Partnership, an award-winning architectural firm. The striking visual of Las Vegas Central’s crystalline cityscape will become as much a Vegas icon as Jerde’s other area projects, which include the Bellagio, Wynn Las Vegas, and Palms hotels. Prices start in the $300,000s, with the largest non-penthouse units offering over 3,500 square feet of living space.
