By Gavin Ernstone
Pre-construction prices and resale prices answer different questions, which makes a comparison between a tower still rising downtown and one finished nearly two decades ago more useful than it first appears. I pulled the public numbers on both so you can see how they line up and where they do not.
The short version is that Cello Tower’s starting prices have climbed since the 2023 launch, while Turnberry Towers listings in October 2026 sit well below them per square foot. The details below show the sources, the dates, and the gaps.
Key Takeaways
- Entry Prices: Reports put Cello Tower’s entry price at $700,000 in 2023 and in the low $800,000s by 2026.
- Delivery Date: Completion is now expected in fall 2028, compared with a 2026 target reported in 2023.
- Resale Snapshot: Turnberry Towers listings showed a $554,000 median list price on October 22, 2026, according to one listing site.
- Verify Everything: Prices, deposits, and dues come from marketing and listing sources, so confirm each one directly.
Cello Tower at Symphony Park
Cello Tower is a 32-story residential high-rise planned for Symphony Park in downtown Las Vegas, with 240 residences from developer Red Ridge Development. Prices have moved since the launch, so the year of any quoted figure matters.
Cello Tower Las Vegas Pricing by Year
- Late 2023: News 3 reported units starting at $700,000 and eight penthouses starting at $4.5 million.
- Spring 2025: KTNV reported that units start at around $700,000 as the project broke ground.
- 2026 Reports: Homes.com put one- and two-bedroom-plus-den homes in the low $800,000s with penthouses from $7.7 million, while the project’s sales site cited prices from the upper $800s.
The entry price has therefore moved from about $700,000 to the low $800,000s across those reports. These are marketing-stage starting prices, so ask for the current price sheet for any specific floor plan.
Deposits, Timeline, and the 2025 Groundbreaking
KTNV reported in April 2025 that Red Ridge Development broke ground at Symphony Park. The project’s sales site later listed completion as expected in fall 2028, a shift from the summer or fall 2026 delivery that News 3 reported in 2023.
Deposit and Timing Details Reported
- Reservation Deposit: News 3 reported a $10,000 soft deposit followed by 20 percent of the total cost within six months.
- Schedule Shift: Delivery moved from the 2026 target reported in 2023 to a fall 2028 expectation.
- Sales Progress: KTNV quoted developer Patrick Brennan saying about 50 percent of units were under contract in April 2025.
Deposit terms came from a 2023 report and may have changed since. Ask the sales team for the current contract, deposit schedule, and release terms in writing.
Turnberry Towers on Karen Avenue
Turnberry Towers is a pair of 45-story towers on Karen Avenue near the Las Vegas Convention Center, developed by Turnberry Associates. Local listing sites generally cite a 2007 completion, while Wikipedia dates the West Tower to 2008.
Turnberry Towers Las Vegas Building Facts
- Towers and Units: Wikipedia reports 318 units in each tower, for 636 in total.
- Original Pricing: Wikipedia reports that 2005 sales started around $500,000, with an average cost of $750,000.
- Plan Sizes: Local sites show main floor plans from 814 square feet for a one-bedroom up to about 1,657 square feet for a two-bedroom.
The towers are roughly two decades old, so condition and recent association projects belong on any comparison checklist. Ask for the reserve study and a record of recent projects before comparing the building with new construction.
Current Resale Numbers at Turnberry Towers
The Las Vegas Luxury Home Pro listing page showed 38 active listings on October 22, 2026, with a median list price of $554,000 and an average of $445.49 per square foot. Average days on market on that page was 104.
October 2026 Resale Snapshot
- Price Range: The first page of listings ran from $424,000 for an 814-square-foot one-bedroom to $850,000 for a 1,657-square-foot two-bedroom.
- Wider Range: Another listing site showed asking prices from $319,000 to $925,000, though its snapshot date was not shown.
- HOA Dues: A Homes.com building page lists monthly association fees from $571 to $1,332, so confirm current dues for any unit.
Data from listing sites changes daily and sources disagree on counts, so treat these figures as a snapshot rather than an appraisal. A recent sold-price report from the MLS gives the best view of what units actually closed for.
Symphony Park Versus the Karen Avenue Corridor
Cello Tower’s sales site describes the Smith Center and DISCOVERY Children’s Museum as steps from the tower. Turnberry Towers sits near the Las Vegas Convention Center, and listing sites describe it as about one block from the Strip.
Location Differences at a Glance
- Symphony Park: Homes.com describes the area as a 61-acre master-planned development.
- Karen Avenue: The towers sit at 222 and 322 Karen Avenue, near Paradise Road.
- Monorail Access: Local sites mention a Westgate monorail station within a short walk of the towers.
By simple division, Cello Tower’s 918-square-foot entry plan listed from $800,000 on NewHomeSource works out to roughly $870 per square foot, compared with the $445.49 average listed for Turnberry Towers. Age, delivery date, and finishes all differ between the two, so weigh them alongside the numbers.
