About to enter the Montage
Looking up at the metal trellis on the top edge of the 24th floor
The massive space for Ruth's Chris on the ground level, north side of the building

That's right! Several models are nearly ready for public viewing on the 7th floor.
This is a view of the kitchen in a one bedroom and den model.
The standard master bath sink by Kohler is unique and contemporary.
Looking out on the balcony of the first 7th floor model we visited. The balconies are much large than they appear from the ground.
We visited a one bedroom and den model on the 7th floor. It feels like a home, not a leftover converted hotel room. That's because the building was gutted down to the steel.

Lots of natural lighting fills the studio model.
Next we crossed the building over to the West side. The new elevators they installed are FAST. When they say high speed they mean high speed.
Now we are on a west-facing unit on the 7th floor, overlooking the North Deck.
The North Deck is one of two large recreational decks. Notice the dog run fencing. The square area in the middle is for a sculptural water feature
Both the North and South Decks have multiple levels to establish different seating areas.
Here you can see the amazing detail work already starting on the North Deck. The center area is for a sculptural water feature.
The trellises on the North Deck.
Some north-facing units along the North Deck.
This is the built-out closet of the studio model. It's practically a second room!
One last look inside the studio model before moving onward.
Next we set out sights higher, going up to the 22nd floor.
As we walked along the floor as the units are being drywalled, I caught glimpses of stunning views from every window I passed.
Another peek out of the 22nd Story Window.
A picture of the massive double-length one bedroom & den balconies on the south-east corner of the building. You can't see all of the balcony in this pic, but it extends all the way to the end of the second window in the background.

Another look at the south deck from the 22nd floor of the Montage
Wow look at that view. Again, from the 22nd floor of the Montage
Western view from a west-facing unit at the Montage
Fernando shows us a wall of glass with the Silver Legacy in the background.
Even in a northwest unit, it's possible to have a view of the Truckee.
We have arrived at the 23rd floor, the lower penthouse level. Each penthouse is two floors high, each unit taking up the 23rd and 24th floors.
Keep in mind everything you see on the 23rd level is brand new, a new addition to the building. The previous building was 22 floors high.
Penthouse units being constructed with view in the background
mmmm nice view from way up here.
One final penthouse shot
Next we checked out a 'convertible' unit which Fernando mentioned as being one of his best sellers.
View from the convertible unit. Note the plethora of glass.
A look at the South Deck from the convertible unit.
Full size kitchen in the convertible - it even has a full height pantry cabinet next to the refrigerator.
Nice view of the South Deck from a large one bedroom and den unit.
In this view, you can see how the living room and bedroom surround the balcony of the large one bedroom and den unit.
Next we hopped over to the north east side of the building to check out a corner unit that overlooks the North Deck.
Another shot of the North Deck from a corner unit.
Floating staircase in on the street-level Rowhouse units. You can see Sierra Street in the background.
Street-level unit.
Next is a peek at the massive cavernous south retail section. A yet-to-be-announced restaurant will be going in this space.
Massive south retail windows.

Next we went to check out some loft spaces. You'll notice here drywall is already going up.
A view out of one of the massive window spaces of the lofts.
The Massive Lofts
Fernando Leal stands in the middle of a loft unit to give you a size perspective of the ceiling height and window sizes.
Now, these units are REALLY cool. Here, we stand in one of the Terrace Townhomes 1st floor, facing North on 2nd Street.
The Terrace Townhomes are 3 levels, with the 3rd level being at the same elevation as the South Pool Deck, so you can step right out onto the South Deck from your unit.
We are on the 6th floor, which is the top level of the Terrace Townhomes. This terrace we're standing on will be the outdoor spaces for the units facing Sierra and First Streets.
Here's another shot of the terraces for the terrace townhomes. Notice instead of a deck or balcony, the terrace is actually a solid part. of the building.
Walking along the massive terrace that wraps around the sixth floor of the south part of the building.
Walking along the terrace that faces 2nd Street. The Riverwalk is in the background.
I will explain this as best I can, but if you were to walk into a terrace unit from the terrace we were standing on in the previous pic, and then walk through the unit, you will end up on the pool deck, which is where we are headed in this pic.
Walking through a terrace townhome to the South Deck.
A look at the South Deck from the 3rd level of a terrace townhome. You can walk right out on it!
And finally we visit the South Deck, one of the most amazing features of the Montage.
The South Deck is huge; with multiple seating areas, an owner's clubhouse, a large pool, 2 hot tubs, water features and even a fire pit.
Check out the pool! Originally the Montage had two smaller pools on this deck, but after some thought, they put in one larger pool. Good decision! I prefer larger pools to do laps in.
Some trellises being built on the South Deck of the Montage
This the inside of the owner's clubhouse on the South Deck.

Another shot of the Owner's Clubhouse - notice the metal trellis detail of the roof matches the detail at the top of the building on the 24th floor

One entire side of the pool is dedicated to steps to easily get in and out.

The multiple walkways will wind thru a massive amount of landscaping on both the North and South Decks
