Veer Towers are two residential towers at CityCenter on the Las Vegas Strip, designed by Helmut Jahn and his firm Murphy/Jahn, with AAI Architects as architect of record. MGM Mirage developed them. They were announced in October 2006, construction began in 2007 and they opened on July 15, 2010, later than the planned December 2009. The article names no style.
Each tower is 37 stories and 480 feet (150 m) tall, and they lean in opposite directions at five degrees. Tree-branch columns and post-tensioned beams create the lean. Rebar errors found during construction were fixed by wrapping columns in fiberglass jackets. Yellow paneling on the glass reflects sunlight.
There are 670 condominiums. Lobby walls carry mud drawings by Richard Long. It is the only all-residential property at CityCenter, with LEED Gold certification in 2009.
