An affordable-housing developer has put up a new apartment complex for seniors in Southern Nevada.

Las Vegas-based George Gekakis Inc. is scheduled to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday for a 171-unit community.

The $50.5 million complex, on Sahara Avenue between Cimarron Road and Buffalo Drive, opened last year.

Rents start at $573 per month, which includes utilities, and the property serves residents with annual incomes starting at $21,000, according to a news release.

It features one- and two-bedroom units and such amenities as a pool and spa, fitness center, and health and wellness facilities, the release said.
