Architectural Woodwork
Following two years of careful planning and painstaking construction, the $270 million Mediterranean-style resort was built by more than 800 workers and craftsmen.
The architectural firm for the project was Altevers Associates of San Diego. Fabricating and installing the gorgeous architectural woodwork in the three-story building was Montbleau and Associates, Inc., an AWI member firm also located in San Diego.

On November 12, 2009, FSC US announced the winners of the 5th Annual Designing & Building with FSC Awards at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Phoenix, AZ, the world’s largest green building gathering. The awards celebrate the best in the US and Canadian green architecture and construction using FSC Certified materials-those sourced from forests managed to high environmental and social standards.
Las Vegas’ new CityCenter earned first place in the commercial / institutional category. This LEED certified development, covering 67 acres, used more than $41 million worth of FSC Certified wood-the greatest amount in a single building project in the US to date.
Montbleau is proud to have been one of the largest contributors of FSC sourced materials on the CityCenter project.

“Architects and designers on this project were given the task to achieve a look that follows the Italian Renaissance and the designs of Palladio,” explains Chris Marsh, senior vice president of the Irvine Company. “One of the main principles in Palladio’s interiors was to express harmony and balance. This had to be achieved not only in the symmetry and geometry of the rooms, but also in the choice of materials and finishes.”
To achieve these goals, Andrew Skurman Architects, San Francisco, California and Montbleau & Associates, an AWI manufacturing member located in San Diego, California were selected for the project.
