Heading south on Interstate 15 past Harry Reid International Airport and the Bruce Woodbury Beltway, drivers encounter a mix of undeveloped land with new homes and multifamily complexes littered throughout the area.
Past the Silverton and the South Point, a new residential development has sprouted up four stories — quite high for this south Las Vegas area — and at this point, may look a little out of place.
Ariva, at 11055 Las Vegas Boulevard, features 754 units, billed as luxury apartments, and the whole development looks like it could supplant itself to the Strip or an upscale enclave of Summerlin, with four pools down the middle of the complex. But Silicon Valley-based WTI Inc., the developers of Ariva — expected to be completed by November — are banking on the complex being a bellwether for a new community to crop up and grow in the southern portion of the valley.
