A new 380-unit luxury apartment community has opened in West Henderson near the Henderson Executive Airport.
Dubbed The Aviator, the community was inspired by antique airplane designs, with a clubhouse and main entry that includes pieces from World War II aircraft. The clubhouse features airplane cabin style lights that line the floors and walls and authentic aircraft metal siding and windows in the furniture. The entrance sign is highlighted by a vintage WWII propeller.
One-, two-, and three-bedroom units that range from 836-sf to 1,390-sf. Sky Suites, top-floor units with 12-foot coffered ceilings, Transom windows, and three-panel glass slider walls in the living room, are also offered. Each unit has quartz countertops, stainless-steel and energy-efficient appliances, wood-style flooring, walk-in closets, and an in-unit washer and dryer.
The pet-friendly community features two swimming pools, a fitness center and studio, a sauna, and a steam room. The clubhouse includes access to a business center with Apple iMac desktop computers, free WiFi, conference tables, and a self-serve cafe with Starbucks coffee, bottled water, and a central stovetop for cooking class opportunities. Other amenities include a hammock garden, children’s playground, and an onsite dog park and pet wash.
