Thousands tour Street of Dreams

The Street of Dreams luxury housing and lifestyle show opened the gates for its third appearance in Southern Nevada a week ago, and has drawn an estimated 8,000 thousand visitors to the Highlands neighborhood within the MacDonald Highlands community in Henderson.

"We had a magnificent opening and the reviews we are receiving from visitors are outstanding," said Bryan Ashbaugh, CEO of Street of Dreams Inc. "I think that's a powerful endorsement of the outstanding job these teams of custom builders and designers have done. They created magnificent floor plans and then searched the world over for the finest in building materials, technological features, furnishings, design accents, colors, fabrics and many exciting features that are being introduced to luxury housing for the first time."

Four show homes valued from $1.995 to $3.75 million (unfurnished) are open for viewing and range from 5,408 to 8,251 square feet. The builders and their respective design firms are: Job Construction and Sydni Jay Associates; Sun West Custom Homes and Karen Butera Inc.; 5 Star Development/Hi-Con, Inc. and Designers Touch; and GJM Development and Joy Bell Design Associates.

Among the homes' features are invisible edge pools, spas, swim-up bars, waterfalls, grand entries with skylights, exotic wood ceilings and floating ceilings, a basement recreation room with underwater windows that view into the interior of the pool, and a transparent glass elevator that spans three stories.

Also featured are vanity mirrors that transform into television and computer monitors, a flat acrylic screen with a hidden projector that enables television viewing and Internet access, commissioned glass art created for entry doors, and a dry cleaning machine in a master suite.

The show is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays and Memorial Day. Ticket sales end at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults; $8 for senior citizens and children ages 4 to 12; and free for younger children.

MacDonald Highlands is a guard-gated community centered around the DragonRidge Golf Club and three parks.

To attend the show, take Interstate 215 to Valle Verde Drive, then go south to Horizon Ridge Parkway.
