A Houston developer known for building historic redevelopment projects in Texas is proposing to build his first development in Las Vegas and has opened a sales office at the site.

Metropolis, an 18-floor, 65-unit condominium complex with an Art Deco theme, is planned for the northeast corner of Desert Inn Road and Debbie Reynolds Drive. It would overlook Steve Wynn's Desert Inn golf course, across Desert Inn Road, and stand where a low-rise timeshare now sits.

Construction is contingent upon developer Randall Davis buying the land and financing the project.

Davis got his start redeveloping buildings in downtown Houston into residential loft space, including the historic Rice Hotel. He now has a fourth Houston project under construction.
