lue Heron Design/Build has left an indelible mark on the luxury residential market with its distinctive "Vegas Modern" architecture. Celebrating 21 years, the company remains committed to its core design philosophies: innovative biophilic design, a strong indoor/outdoor connection, sustainability, and energy efficiency.

    This commitment drives Blue Heron to continuously push boundaries and expand its repertoire of custom and predesigned homes across three distinct divisions: Elite, Nexus, and Helix. In addition to full-service architecture and construction services, the company's Atelier Interior Design rounds out its offerings as a full-service interior design firm and fine art curator.

    "We're always exploring new ways to create a vision for a home and create something exceptional that grabs people when they walk through the space," said Blue Heron CEO Tyler Jones. The company has designed and built over 130 custom homes in Elite, which offers clients the opportunity to create their vision through custom building or purchase a completed Luminary Custom Home.

    The latest Luminary Custom Homes are located in the premier Ascaya community, featuring bold architectural designs that convey a distinct visual language from the moment of entry. Arise, with its horizontal lines and interlocking geometric forms, boasts 8,880 square feet of living space and is priced at $13.5 million. Egress, with its dramatic exterior and unique geometric forms, has more than 7,000 square feet of living space and is on the market for $10.8 million.

    Blue Heron's Luminary Custom Home Collection also includes Drift and Abrigo, two other properties currently on the market. The company plans to break ground in Southern Highlands this summer and has two more homes in design for the community. Since starting the collection five years ago, Blue Heron has designed and finished 12 Luminary homes.

    In addition to the Luminary Custom Home Collection, Nexus offers buyers an alternative to designing and building a custom home with predesigned floor plan options. With over 350 predesigned properties built in 17 communities since its inception, Nexus is a faster process that allows architecture to be preapproved, eliminating the need for design and permitting.

    The Helix Collection allows buyers to choose and build a predesigned home on a custom site, with 14 pre-engineered, predesigned floor plans available. Blue Heron plans to break ground at the Reserve at Red Rock Canyon this summer with a collection of homes blending with the natural surroundings.

    Over the years, Blue Heron has expanded outside the Vegas market, including two waterfront homes in La Jolla, California, which set regional sales price records. The company envisions expanding into Utah's Park City and Heber Valley area by assembling a team and replicating its Vegas business model.

    Reflecting on 21 years of success, Jones said, "I'm very fortunate... We get better every month, every year." With 171 employees and a reputation for innovative design and integrated design/build business model, Blue Heron is recognized as a respected company in the industry.
